I've always had good results from the Sony MDR7506 headphones. They're
light, comfortable, fit around the ear...blocking out some, but not
all ambient sound, rugged, and foldable. This model has a coiled
cable...loved by some, hated by some, and a gold plated plug (with an
adaptor that converts the mini to 1/4"). The response seems to push on
the high side. But, that can be a good thing. If you can't hear much
high freq noise through these headphones, your recording will probably
sound good. Sony also makes the MDR V6, which are virtually the same,
but a bit cheaper. Very slightly reduced bass response, nickel plated
plugs, and a staight cable. Hope this helps. Bill
