Headphones? If you have no choice but headphones...

I've owned a couple of pairs of the ubiquitous Sony MDR-7506 for 20 years and I absolutely would not recommend them. They are terrible, they cause ear fatigue and they hype the top end in an unnatural way.

I more recently got the Sennheiser HD-280 Pro and they are much much better. Way more accurate and less fatiguing. You can get em for less than $100 on Amazon.

Just ordered me some Beyer Dynamic DT 770 80ohm... I've been drooling over these headphones for yeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrsssssssssssss... can't wait to get them in!

I wanted to add that my DT770's sound quite a bit better through my Symetrix 304 headphone amp than through the headphone output of my Behringer Eurorack Pro rx1602, so even a good pair of cans can sound not so good depending on your signal chain.
