Sennheiser 595
+ 1 on the Sennheiser 595. I don't know but suspect the Sennheiser 598s are the 'new 595s. I still have my pair that I purchased about 10,000 years ago and they still work perfectly. I have also Sennheiser 555s and 650s, two pairs of Ultrasones, AKG 701s and Bose Quiet Comfort 15. ( 7 PCs in the house!) What I like about Sennheiser in general and the 595s in particular is that they are very comfortable. If your source is good it will be a long time before you get listening fatigue.
I mention the Bose Quiet Comfort too because they are at least as comfortable as the 595s and do not give away much in sound quality. They do have one spectacular trick. They really do block out the outside noise: 95 - 99 % efficient in my estimation. I tend to go to European destinations for vacation and from New Zealand that means four long-haul flights. I can wear the Bose for about 10 of the 12 hours on those flights. I get an aisle seat, my laptop is set up for music and treat myself to a concert :->
