Make sure you pick something comfortable.

I love the Senn 800s, and the Bottlehead Crack/Speedball, despite it's low cost. The 800s are really comfortable (for me) despite their weight. Am rebuilding the Crack now with better components and wire, and adding a Corda crossfeed, which makes a huge difference, for me, on some recordings. If you are going to spend lots of time with headphones, try to audition a Corda crossfeed, so you'll know whether it's a big deal for you or not. Meier Audio has a line of products with the Corda circuit, and, bless them, published the circuit for DIYers. Nice.

Good luck!
