I use the SONY MDR7506. I have 8 pair in the two studios. I also
have 4 pair of an older Fostex headphone which are not as nice. The
Sonys sound great.
Now I use these to monitor while I am recording, to listen to
existing tracks as well as what I am playing. I do not mix with
headphones at all, although I will sometimes listen to a completed
mix through headphones as well as on a variety of speakers. I don't
recommend mixing through headphones, a decent set of monitor
speakers will get you a better mix.
I have tried a variety of headphones over the years, the Sonys are
the best IMHO for monitoring while recording.
