I have a set of Stax Lambda Pros (full range estats) that have been excellent for the purpose. Unfortunately the driver for those is on the blink and needs to be repaired. Until then I'll use either Sennheiser HD 580, Sennheiser Momentums or HiFi Man HE 400S driven by a Schiit Lyr 2 amp for the purpose.
For the purpose of finding and editing clicks and pops the Stax were superb and the HiFi Man 400S are respectable. The Sennheiser are OK and I prefer the Momentums over the HD 580s.
I rarely record using my speakers. I have an full sized old office chair for headphone listening and recording. Once I record the LP sides, I split up the sides into tracks and then do whatever editing may be required.
I used to use Cakewalk Sonar but Sound Forge is easy to use and does a good job with all of the tasks. It took a little while to get familiar with Sound Forge, and its editing, but once you get the hang of it its very good with all the tasks.
Sound Forge Editing:
The pencil tool is used to draw across the click or pop or whatever you want to remove. Its obvious and easy to use. You have to drill down to a very close resolution to use the pencil tool (on the upper right corner of the screen shown). The cursor changes to a pencil and whatever you draw overwrites the waveform content being displayed. I highlighted a portion of the right channel waveform to show a candidate to be removed.
I start on the left hand side and draw a straight line across the center line (0db) and the waveform is replaced by the new straight line...and no pop.
I upgraded my DAW and added 16 GB, it now has 24 GB RAM. That speeded up everything nicely. Even better than that was when I added a second SSD drive for recording and virtual memory purposes. My laptop now screams and everything is done very quickly (even under MS Windows 10).
