For a bit more, you can get the SR-225 which is highly recommended for its value.

ahh yes. knew i forgot to mention something. ill just say...

no genre limits. but mostly electronic-ish.

1 example would be aphex twin.

i think grados would be the way to go for aphex twin and other such IDMish electronica. Electronica in general actually. But then again I know nothing about beyers.

Whoa, ouch

There's no way I could listen to harsher electronica on more agressive headphones.
I use Autechre as test music, I tried a pair of SR60s and I lasted all of 2 minutes!

oh yeah, i remember i used to feel like that. then i either got used to it, my headphones burned in, or i lost some high frequency hearing.

hmmm, i really hope it's one of the first 2.

How about the SR-125? I've not heard of many who buy it because it's in the middle of the cheap and middle-of-the-prestige-line. Still, it's supposed to be a slight improvement over the 80's. I found them for 135 on froogle. It fits in your wallet!

SR-125 is not a really good choice as I heard someone claiming it has "spiltty highs".
