What I'm looking for is a new set of cans for under or around $200. I currently have a pair of Grado SR60is (but I'm looking to upgrade). I know that I really should get a closed back set but I'm absolutely in love with the Grado sound signature, mostly because I listen to a lot of jazz/classical/folk/rock although I do like electronic/rap/hip-hop on occasion. I wouldn't mind a touch more bass (but only if it's clean). I don't have an amp/dac but I really want to invest in a portable rig once my pocketbook recovers from the holidays. Should I just get a higher model of Grado or should I get a closed set? I've heard that there are diminishing returns with upgrading to anything less than the SR325i (now e) in the Grado line. I've also heard great things about the ATH-M50X for this price range but I figured that I better check here first for some advice, maybe there's something new and exiting out there I haven't heard about yet! I'm fairly new to this and there's no real way for me to test anything out because I live in the middle of nowhere.
