Hello, so for year a was using the klipsch image one and i like them, but now i was thinking of getting something nicer. I was thinking about audio technica ath-m50 or Sennheiser hd 558 or maybe 598 or grados SR80i or SR60i but i am opened to other options. I live in Czech republic and prices are quite different here ... ath-m50 equal about 200 bucks, 558 something about 150, 598 about 200 and grados are 130 and 180 and i am looking for something under 200 bucks. 
My entire music library is in lossless format and i listen to things like The Beatles, Coldplay, The shins mostly stuff like that, but a also enjoy listening to more bassier stuff like David Guetta ( but just sometimes).
I will be powering those headphones by macbook pro and i am opened to buying amp later if it necessary, and they will be used mostly ( or just) at home. (by the way, i definitely dont want noise canceling headphones, i have creative aurvana x-fi and i hate them) 
So suggestions will be extremely appreciated and i hope you can help me somehow and i am also sorry for my bad english, i'm not speaking english natively.

I would say go for the HD558s, maybe get a good price on used ones.

I'll probably be selling my HD 595's here pretty soon. Basically brand new condition. Picked them up last week for $135...
 
PM me if you are interested.

I'd get the 598 if you can afford it but if you want to save some bucks, get the 558.

598 is your best option.

Thanks so much for your replies, it helped alot, i'll probably go with the HD558, but how do they compare to SR80i ? i havent found comparison between the two. I also wonder if you could recommend the Beyerdynamics DT990 pro (2005 version) over the HD558 or do you have any other recommendations?
