headphones

what are decent headphones for tracking with minimal bleed but very
comfortable with good sound? I have a pair of sony mdr7506 and they
sound terrible.
They do, but they're great for tracking! The pitched up high end can
be a real help even when it's driving you up the wall.
Beyer DT-100 and its successors are more natural up top but you may find
you need a lot more level in them for tracking.
AKG K-240 leak a lot more but some people like them anyway.
and then I need a pair for editing/checking mixes. ideally I'd have
the same pair- just something comfortable and sounds good. I don't
use phones THAT much, nor for any extended period when editing, but
occasionally I do use them.
The MDR-V6 and family are also very good for hearing crap while editing,
but they are painful to wear for very long.
The Etymotic in-ears might be worth trying out too.... they are very natural
and the isolation is excellent but you can't share them around.
