I'm looking into getting a new pair of headphones. I currently own the Grado SR80. I bought them because they were at a good price point and they were highly recommended for my main genres of music (hardcore / grindcore). However I've run into some issues with them. I usually won't wear headphones for music at home. I wear them on the go. I do some public transportation, and it seems open headphones combined with my preferred type of music equals annoyed passengers. So I'd like to switch to closed. I'd also like to switch to a pair that's over-ear rather than on-ear. Comfort might be a concern as well, since I seem to be sensitive to pain associated with headphones. Also, and I know I'm going to catch some flack for this, but someone I know had a pair of Beats and kept bragging about them. I dismissed him and everyone else that mentioned those damn things. However I finally put them on not too long ago, and I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised. To me, they sounded great. I preferred them over my Grado's. Whatever it was, I liked them a lot. To the point that I started looking into them. From what I've read, the Studio model is the one I would want if I were to get them. Looks like the MSRP on those is $300. Maybe I could find them cheaper, haven't looked. But for sake of argument, let's limit myself to $300.

$300 limit
