Can all headphones handle HIGH Volume levels?


Question....I LOVE listening to my music (Rock, Blues, & Jazz) at fairly LOUD listening levels. Am I at risk of damaging my "cans"? Currently I have the Grado 225s.
Also, I'm a BASS freak! I get somewhat frustrated that my headphones do not deliver....any suggestions on other brands that might be better suited for my tastes?
Thanks for the input!

I agree with Lloydlee21. Get a pair of Sennheisers. Specifically the HD580 to HD650 line. I have the HD580s and bass wise I love them for when I listen to Hip-Hop and Electronic music. I had the HD580s mated with a Schiit Audio Valhalla. I've read the HD-650 is a great match with the Valhalla.

Good luck with your search.
Good stuff Swampwalker.

Good for Dr. Dre. I've always liked his production techniques and his collaborations with various musicians. He never came off as a tool to me.

I swear though all I see around me are Beats headphones or ear buds. Pretty much everyone from all walks of life has a set of beats headphones. At sports press conferences after games there are athletes wearing customized Beats headphones. In music videos they are strategically placed. I even think on AM radio shows they were mentioned. It is just everywhere. I sometimes do catch an occasional sighting of AKG, Sennheiser, and B&W headphone users walking around or sitting on public transportation. Very rare but it does happen.
