Try AKG 271s/272. Excellent closed cans. Go for the velour ear cushions. These cans are very accurate with a slightly warm transparent presentation. Bass is just right--not too much and not too little. Terrific mids. Decent highs. Soundstage is good.
For open cans, I'd run with Grado (I use a 325i). I just like the Grado sound--the immediacy is stunning.
Tubes go well with jazz (I sometimes use a Pas 3 preamp and Decware Zen SET amp in my stereo kit--right now I'm using a McIntosh integrated at work and my speakers at home are powered Quad 12L's with an Adcom pre).
I listen to a lot of jazz--Coleman, Coltrane, Cook, Cole (it appears that I only listen to jazz artists whose last names begin with C).
Cheers!
