Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I vote for Sennheiser too. I have four of them:
1) HD-600: This is top of the line stuff. Too precious to use with 
DTX, I only use it for serious listening.
2) HD-280 pro: Very *very* good for closed monitoring. I usually use 
these with my DTX.
3) HD-497: Cheaper but still great. I initially bought it for casual 
listening, but if I get too claustrophobic with HD-280, I switch to 
these on DTX.
4) MX-400: Very cheap earbuds for my office and surprisingly good.

Note that there are many factors you need to be aware of when 
choosing headphones (open/closed, impedance, etc). I suggest you to 
check out www.headphone.com for a lot of info.
