Beyerdynamic DT 770 M 80 ohms. The specific version is important. The 80 ohm impedance versions are fat and the “M” is the drummer version with better clamp and isolation.
Sennheiser HD 280

My workaround? Since everyone has a home studio these days I always tell people if they have headphones they like? Bring 'em to the session. And they do! Especially singers but I've had whole bands walk in and not use a single pair of cans from my box. This is a simple idea but a really great one. Excellent suggestion. One of the things I've learned over the years is that no matter what the headphone rig is someone's always gonna complain about it. Even in shops where its all $300 Ultrasones & Mytek private Q systems there's always someone who's miserable. ANd so if someone brings their own headphones they have nothing to bitch about. Or at least less to bitch about. Another lesson is that ultimately in a studio for hire? Headphones are a consumable item. Treated nearly the same as zip ties & gaff tape... they have a service life and get binned when the damage is severe enough. Really I've just adopted the mindset that cue systems? They don't need to be amazing, they just need to be solid & work reliably. That doesn't mean I'm supplying junk but the days of buying top shelf kit for that task? Long over. And so if someone owns & wants to use their $300 fancy pants headphones? That's rad I love that stuff. Bring it! But I'm not supplying it.

I don't think I've ever complained about the quality of the monitoring sound as a performer in a studio. Now, my ability to adjust my headphone mix? Yes. But the timbre of the kick drum or whatever? Nope. It's all head and shoulders above live monitors anyway.

The Panasonic retro HTX7 were the best to get for disposable headphones. But now they make them Bluetooth, so there’d be latency They were my last resort but I noticed after a few live sessions they were the only headphones where the artist was happier than the other guys with the good cans. Go figure. I think it’s because they are feather light, have a warm sound, don’t clamp extra hard and isolate fine. And you don’t feel sweaty or clamp head. I read reviews and sure enough guys were using them in the studio a lot

So I bought the beyer iso headphones (770M) and am admittedly unimpressed. I did, however, but a pair or Superlux HD665s on a whim and they kick the shit out of the Beyers for isolation!! Sound half decent also! If you don’t have them angled right, they do let a bit of spill in, but they really do a great job for $45! I’m gonna buy like 5 more pairs!
