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've had tinnitus since going to a rock concert in 1982. My excitement over the great seats (12th row center floor) soon gave way to depression as my ears felt plugged for 3 or 4 days afterwards. When the plugged feeling finally subsided, I had tinnitus. I've listened to the constant ringing in my ears everyday since.

There's really no cure and it never goes away. And like Elizabeth said, by the time you're aware of a problem, it's too late, the damage is done.
