I'm in the market for a pair of headphones. I mainly listen to orchestra and some rap occasionally. My priority is to find a pair which really bring out the strings in orchestra. I've seen the ATH-A700, AD700, Sennheiser HD448, Shure SRH440, ATH-M50, Grado 80i, and the Denon AH-D1001S. i'm looking to spend bellow $200. I'm going to be using these with an iPod classic 160gb, through a LOD, and into a FiiO E7. I'd like a pair that would really benefit from the amp as well. Oh I don't own the amp yet, but I own the iPod. The amp is a must considering the 3.5mm head-jack on my iPod is busted so I have to use a lod. 
 
Basically, which $200 and less headphones are the best for orchestra, mainly strings.

Ad700's are perfect for that kind of music.

I second that, although they won't sound the greatest with rap.

Thanks for the reply. I'll probably get the A700, since I don't want the sound to leak out and bother everyone around me and the A700 looks better as well.

Any suggestions for cans that work good for both rap and orchestra?
