What I ended up doing is getting some Sennheiser HD560s for $200 with the iphone adapter for $10. I could see how this is going to become something bigger so I figured I would start there so I could listen now and start going to hifi stores and check out other higher end headphones to buy in the future...black friday.

Congrats! The HD560 is a good choice. No need for DACs and Amps because the resistance (ohm) is low. On your iPhone, EQ is as easy as going to Settings -> Music -> EQ. Toggle those while listening to your music. Definitely compare off vs rock EQ settings.
I highly recommend you stop here if possible. But if not... welcome to the audio addicts club!
I bought a pair of DT880 premiums yesterday...
EDIT: Dang, I didn't expect to like the DT880 premiums as much as I do right now. It makes me want to see if I can borrow or broker a trade for the DT770 pro and have the trifecta together for side by side comparisons and different applications. I'm excited.
I just have to explain to my wife now that when one headphone is left with another for too long, they can sometimes create another headphone...
