The sad thing is that most of the recommendations in this thread are rarely available in-store in Canada. Sure I can find the HD650, but for a price of $550, IIRC.
 
Living in Canada sucks for buying anything.

Grado 225i is good for you. Never heard the Senn but the Shures will kill any metal in a matter of seconds.

I want to try the DT1350. I wouldn't break the bank myself, and would definitely take the KNS8400 before anything else. But I don't really listen to metal, so I dunno...

the DT1350's aren't just for metal, not by a long shot. They ft for...pretty much every type of music I have listened to them with.

bcasey you bought the Sennheiser Adidas *cough* headphone for $199, that is not breaking the $200 mark at all.
 
 

It is when you consider the regular price is $299.

Consider gently used as well to help with budget. I got DT880/600's off Amazon (like new) for 199.99 and HD650's (one month old) from a head-Fi user for $300 shipped.

dt 880 /600s for 199!?!??

Yes, and I still see them for close to that price now and then. Just have to keep an eye out and check the Used listings now and then.

No that's not what I meant. I just meant that my suggestion for the 8400's was probably moot, since I have never listened to metal with those, or any cans for that matter... I'm sure the DT1350 are good for many other genres as well

Interesting, well my first real headphone (SA-5000) RRP and Japanese price is $699, so I guess I broke the $600 mark a lot earlier than I thought I did!! ;P
 
I broke the $700 mark with Tesla T5p and I'm glad I did, after my second headphone meet yesterday I only appreciate them all the more.

Believe it or not the adidas set was easiest to acquire and cheaper then the non adidas online.

IMO the HD25 is perfect for rock, maybe a little dry, but no where near as dry as you'd get with any other suggestions, except a few like the T50
