I use a pair of AIAIAI TMA-2 Studios while producing/writing/tweaking the creative mix, then I move to a pair of Sennheiser HD600s /w Sonarworks for more critical listening and mixing.

I have also the TM2 with S01 and E04. I've switched from S02 and E02 and it's way better now!

The AIAIAI studio headphones are on sale for $100USD right now. They may not be the "best" studio headphones (the Beyerdynamic suggested above are amazing but over the 100 price point), but since he's doing so much with them and playing live, they're fully modular so every single piece can be replaced if it breaks.

I think it's also highly dependent on which drivers you get, some are much worse than others. I've been generally happy with mine at least for DJing.

My most recent ones are AiAiAi Studio Pros. Wanted something more flat in response and had some coupons. When I am out in a noisey environment I have some Sony ANCs. If you want a cheaper option the Koss Porta Pros still sound pretty damn good and have that cool retro look.
