One hint is that if you're going to use open-back, non-isolating
headphones, then you better have long mics cables and keep the
phones away from the mics, or the feedback will zap your ears.
For open backs the Sennheisers are defacto standard. I wound't
take my HD-600s outside, but some of the similar cheaper models
are nice.
But if you want to actually hear the signal rather than the
environment, in ear monitors are the way to go --
Etymotics or Shure. The pro-grade over-ear closed phones
are easier to put on and take off and are more comfortable,
eg. Senn HD-280 Pro.
