I would definitely advice open backed phones, they have a much wider soundstage and can sound much better. If you must have closed I will give you a couple to look at.
Open Back:
Sennheiser HD650/600
Hifiman HE-400
Beyerdynamic DT 990/880
Closed Back:
Fischer Audio FA 003 (or a clone of them as they are difficult to get in the US)
Denon AH-D2000/5000
Also, what are you going to be driving them with? If you do get a pair of open backed cans you should have a decent desktop amp to get their full potential. If you get closed you could get a portable amp/DAC like the Fiio E7
