   Only demoed those once but they were excellent.
Last year some time, on the LUG, there was a similar thread
and the recommended phones that came up again & again were:

AKG 240
Stax Lambda
Sennheiser 600
Beyer 990
Sony 7506

   I've deleted the mail but if the original enquirer was UK based and
on a tight budget, I have to tell him to check out the Sennheiser 590
- a slight drop in performance but way cheaper than the 600's. I just
got a pair this week for \ufffd70 from http://www.empiredirect.co.uk

   Like Matt says about his 600's, they're the first phones I've
used that I can trust for mixing with - not that one would do this
exclusively on cans, of course, but I don't think I could monitor
anything I do now without frequent checking on these phones.
Very revealing and neutral sounding.

   Only thing I hate about Sennheiser's are the fragile bloody leads
they ship 'em with.
