Hi Scott, 

At the moment I have some cheap Senheisers, however my headphone of choice is 
the Beyerdynamic DT770 80ohm. I have had a set of the 250 ohm version and they 
are also great for listening to music on a flight etc. Almost total isolation 
headphone. The 80ohm version will be easier to drive and use less power, they 
are bulky but worth it in my opinion. These are cheaper than the 1350s 
mentioned. The 2012 special edition 32ohm have a shorter straight cable which 
may be better suited to field recording than the standard 3metre cable.

Hope this helps..

Simon.
