Recommend me a companion to my HD-580s ( 2 Views )

1. OK, so my Senn 580s are MIA. They've gotta be around my house somewhere, but damned if I can find them. I want to get some new cans, but I know eventually the Senns will show up, so I want something that will complement them rather than replace them.
   
   Useage: Mostly at home, on my computer, but occasionally portably from my Ipod. I use them mostly for music, followed by movies and then games. My listening tastes vary a lot .. a lot of punk and rock (Johnny Thunders, Dead Kennedys, Iggy, Lou Reed), synth-based rock/new wave (Devo, Adam Ant), older rap/hip-hop (Afrika Bambaataa, Ice-T, Run DMC), and instrumental (Wagner, Ennio Moricone). I'm not fanatical about Counterstrike or anything, but I do get a kick from good positional audio.
   
   Considerations: Something around $100 would be nice, but if it made a lot of sense to do so, I could swing up to $150. Still, the cheaper the better. I don't mind purchasing used or refurbs. I don't have an amp, but if makes more sense to buy an amp & cheaper cans instead of just expensive head phones, then so be it. Also, comfort is a big factor for me... I have a big head and kinda big ears, and I tend to listen for fairly long timespans.
   
   So, who's got some suggestions? Grados? Beyers? Koss? AT? Where's it at? I appreciate any help!

4. yup, those sub $20 phones are a steal for the price.
   (and they sound a lot like the HD580s)
