Tried searching the web for suggestions, but the majority of results were for headphones for musicians. I'm looking for something reliably flat to use while doing remote sessions that require me to be in the room with all of the players. For a mixing reference, I have Sennheiser HD650s and really like how they sound. Are there any closed back headphones with good isolation that would get me in the same ballpark?

The Beyerdynamic DT 770M cans are the closed-back version of the 770.
In my experience, they are a little less flat than the standard 770, and more clammy, but on the other hand I get 35dB rejection. So I get a fair idea of what's going on, and my ears ring a lot less.

beyerdynamic DT-1770 Pro 250 Ohm
I am in a world of my own, except for what I hear, when tracking with these.

beyerdynamic DT-1770 Pro 250 Ohm I am in a world of my own, except for what I hear, when tracking with these. But are these high rejection? I tried to find the rejection specs at Beyerdynamic's site, but found only the 770m rejection. |

Senn HD380s are great as well.

Senn HD380s are great as well. They are but I still like the way a pair of Sony MDR7506’s can always cut trough everything, best fidelity or isolation no but they do cut through the muck this is why so many monitors engineers swear by them, at the side of the stage with monitors and side fills all hitting you, you can still hear what ever you called up. |

+1 for the 7506.

In-ear monitors. Nothing works as good for isolation.

Thanks for all of the suggestions!
As much as I would love something as flat as possible, I think I might be more concerned with isolation - I can just do my best to learn the sound of whatever I get. So now I'm leaning towards the Beyer 770M or the Sonys

I do not disagree! I would never rely 100% on the 770Ms alone. But if the situation permits switching to other headphones or speakers and listening back when drums and amps aren't playing, they are (for me) adequate for keeping track of what's going on in a noisy environment. And the attenuation enables working at a much lower monitoring volume, which for me is worth the lower fidelity. I agree in-ears are great for isolation and fidelity, but compared to headphones, taking them on and off is more of a hassle. |

I'll look into them. I need a cost effective solution since drummers and bassists can destroy anything in a day! |
