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.

Denon AH-D2000 for a little more oomph in the nether regions.

I could not agree more emphatically with Ahendler. Listening to headphones at high volume levels can PERMANENTLY destroy your hearing. Be very cautious (seriously).
