   Sony 7506 is screechy and boomy and unpleasant to listen to for long   
   periods, but that actually is an advantage for tracking.  I would try   
   it.  It is something of an industry standard.   
      
   The Beyer DT150 has a little lower leakage, and is more pleasant to   
   listen to, but it's a little more money and weighs a bit more.  It also   
   is kind of an industry standard.
