I'm curious. I am thinking of getting anointed to the world of Grado. But what I'm unsure of is if they would be good for hardcore punk and mid-nineties metallic hardcore. Bands like Agnostic Front, New Day Rising, Converge, Strain, Fault and such. Now I realize that some bands like this have low-fi recordings and hi-fi equipment for this style would be pointless but I"m looking for something aggressive but not too aggessive. I know that Grado's have been known to have an in-your-face presentation. Would it be too much for such music? Any suggestions outside of Grado? I've searched but I haven't found much on headphones for this style of music. Thank you.

For that type of noise I would suggest ear Plugs.

Sorry dspang, I was trying to be funny

Outside of Grado, you should check out Ultrasones. Great for rock, metal, techno, etc.

Thanks for the suggestion ajjekko. Zaphod, it's all good. That was pretty good. Ford2, good one. It's not everyone's bag but I love it.

The koss ur40 is under $40 , has titanium drivers , and are good looking and very light and comfortable. They can be driven to deafening volumes with crisp tight sound. They have the same drivers as ksc75 that everyone here raves about.They are one of my favourite phones.cheers

Ford2. It's all good man. No prob. Thanks for the suggestions guys. Much appreciated all. I just recently became acquainted with the portapros. Pretty decent phones. Only problem I have though is that the treble in them seems to have a bit of sibilance. But not too bad. Thanks once again guys.
