Musicians & Audiophiles. Can you recommend a good set of headphones?
Can any of you groovy cats help me out, I'm looking for some new cans. I mainly listen to my iPhone/iPod but I will also be plugging into a guitar amp.

Noise reduction or not does not matter to me. Right now I'm listening to my set of (don't laugh) skullcandy lowriders while I'm on the midnight to noon bridgewatch on this noisy ship.

Thanks in advance.

1. Sony MDR7506 Professional Headphones...

I've been in broadcasting since 1983, and these are the best cans that I've ever used. They run about $130.00, but you probably can find a deal online.

2. I bought a pair at Radio Shack
For about $50 that sound great. They're very light wight. I hardly use them, but when I do, I'm pretty impressed.
