Default Favorite Headphones Question

I use the Sennheiser HD580 headphones for DX'ing voice's. They are full
range but DO NOT pump up the 300 -100 hz area like so many "HIFi"
headphones.

I like the JRC ST-3 for CW. All midrange. No highs & only go down to
maybe 90 hz ???

I also like the ST-3 during warmer weather when there are Lightning
crashes. They seem to soften the crashes abit.

The Heil ProSet headphones sound really nice as well. They are not
nuetral in Freq response as they seem to be "voiced" with the typical
smilley face on a equalizer but do help readability on voices but not
as well as the HD580's do.

just listen to talk radio and never music.
I've been using the kind with foam puffys. Maybe I will spend 25bucks
for a pair of the Sennheiser HD201. They are full sized. Check out
the expensive ones at the bottom of the page.

So do you have a favorite headphone? Bose? Koss? Sennheiser?
