1. The headphone cushions on my M50s are starting to degrade, and I'd like new ones.  Where may I procure them?
 
2.  I currently have a pair of M50s, JVC-Rx900s, and Grado Sr80is.  I was wondering, what would be the best headphone for me in the 200-300 price range?  I generally listen to heavy metal and some progressive.  I prefer closed studio monitors, but since I would listening to these almost exclusively at home, open works just as well.  I'm not looking to buy just yet, but having a product in mind for future reference would be excellent.

What equipment are you plugging your headphones into at home?
 
And which of your current headphones do you prefer with the music you listen to?

My M50s are my portable cans (attached to a Zune 80 gB, soon to be a Zune 120 once I get my Yotank) since my sr80s are so dainty I feel like they'll break at any moment.  By extension, I use my sr80s entirely for home listening.  I rarely if ever use my JVCs since my m50s and Grados are simply leaps and bounds better.  When I'm at home I just plug them into my speakers, since when I asked for a can recommendation everybody told me that an amp would do no good for my Zune or m50s.
I don't have a preference between my M50s and Grados, because for me it just sounds like the Grados are the open-back/soundstage, home-listening counterpart to the sturdy m50s.
