Hello,
I am more on the darker side of metal, black, death mostly.
To name a few bands: Bloodbath, Decapitated, Amon Amarth, Kataklysm, Behemoth, Krisiun, Dark Tranquility. I also have some power metal: Sonata, Kamelot, Blind guardian, Stratovarius, Angra...
I do own 325i re-cabled with blackdragon and I made woody adapters so I can use leather beyer pads. They have lot's of soundstage and bass is more present, I also put blutak on the backing of the drivers. Greatly changed in my book.
On the other side I prefer my Darth's with almost anything. They make drums come alive while the Grado's are the choice for guitars, I guess it depends what I listen to.
I love the 325i's "brightness/clarity" but they sound flat when coming from the Darth's. I prefer the vocals on the darth's as well. I would say beyerdynamic sound signature is closer to sennheiser than Grado.
Just my 2 cents,
Charles
