Yeah Grado are the way 2 go for that price range and music genres. SR 60i or SR 80i.
Only problem about them is that there are not that comphy. That's one of the reasons they are not my first choice under 100$ HP and the other1 is that even though there are very good, especially 4 rock music...they are little 2 much 4 me and after 3+ hours not just that I got pain in my ears for wearing them, I also got a little headache 'cause they are a little to "aggressive" and in your face if you know what I mean.
Don't get me wrong at first I was amazed by the sound of the HP with that price tag and I'm not 1 of them that think that there are not good looking phones but after some time fatigue got 2 me. I guess I like more neutral and lade back HP that I can wear 4 a long period of time and which are not 2 bass heavy. That's why I'm looking into getting me some AKG K 601 HD.
back 2 topic.
I would recommend u 2 go 4 the HD 558 although I never had a chance of using them I do know how HD 555 sound like and feel like and they are also 1 of my favorite HP and they are so comfortable.
Anyway, any1 that knows anything about the HP say that u should skip HD515 and go 4 the higher1's and that it worth the price. Most of the people that like 515 are the ones that never had 50+ $ HP before and they are happy whit what they got because they don't know better [no offense ].
Also I would skip the HD 4xx series exxept maybe HD 448 [they maybe look/feel cheap and flimsy but there not that bad and are a great sounding HP 4 that price].
Also take a look at the Audio Technica ATH-M50 , Audio-Technica ATH-AD700 [wonderful sound stage - good for FPS gaming] and maybe Shure SRH840.
P.S. Sorry 4 my bad English and 4 having my first post on this forum on a 3w old thread.
