I've read the headphones threads. And I owned the BD DT880 Pro model and thought it good, til one side crapped out on me in a little over a year, and I replaced them with AudioTechnica ATH-M50x, which were much better sounding. To me.
But there still could be others that sound even better..., Idk.
But if I was doing it again, since there is NO general consensus in those headphones threads (although I did go with the AT model b/c it kept coming up), I'd read the threads, then pick 6 models and buy them all from somewhere with a good return policy.
Then I'd try them on Factory Presets, as opposed to creating your own, so that you won't dial in your tones to compensate for how the headphones reproduce the tones, and perhaps even give some preference to presets that use amp models of ones you know how they sound. Pick one, send the rest back.
Plus, there's the comfort factor, and whether you want closed, semi-open, or open back, which each have pros and cons of their own.
I will add this: With the semi-open type (of which the 880 I owned was), you may very well hear your guitar acoustically when you use the Virtual Capo in the Pitch Block to change tunings, if you're not turned up enough, volume-wise. I have mild-to-moderate tinnitus, so I don't like to turn up very loud at all. But since the AT phones I now have are closed-back, I can't hear the guitar itself through the air at all, even at very low volume levels, unlike how it was with the DT 880's. (note: that model may be available both ways; I can't recall.)
Good luck in your search! And remember- tones that sound good through headphones at low volumes probably won't sound good at band levels.
