Thanks so much for the added input you guys! The more I read about things the more overwhelmed I get. The big problem is that I can't find a place here in Las Vegas that I can audition any of these headphones. And in my original post I excluded the Grados as a suggestion because it has been clear and consistent to me that they are good for rock and such. Right now I'm starting to realize that most of what I listen to is some form of rock. I'm really thinking about Grado's but it is hard for me to get past the fact that they are uncomfortable and look like they are a relic from many many decades ago sitting in a time capsule. HOWEVER, I am so tempted to pull the trigger on a good pair of them because there is such an overwhelming satisfaction with their sound. To make this simpler for everyone, if I can find something that will submerge me by surrounding me and bringing out all of the details in tool, mastodon, and deftones I will be in absolute bliss. Are Grados going to do this for me? And I saw people put Senn 580 headpads on their Grados. Do you think this would significantly help the discomfort people speak of?
At first I was definitely thinking about the Senn 580/600 but it seems that Grados and Senns seem to be the antithesis of each other and the fans of each tend to clash with each other about which sound better for the same genres. And it seems half of people say that Senns are not for rock at all while the other half say that it is. But there is no doubt from what people describe that the Grados are good for this type of music.
Wangtox- How do you like your RS2i's? Your ultrasone suggestion was very helpful. But now im starting to think that I shouldn't look for something that is so well rounded if I'm pretty sure I'm gonna eventually get more headphones. Even though I listed a 300 budget I actually have more money. I had my eyes on RS2's and RS1's. What's your take being that you listen to basically all the stuff that I do. Is that why you said that your other headphones don't do these bands justice? Is it because you use your RS-2's?
