Hello everyone,
 
I am looking to purchase some over-the-ear headphones for home-use as well as some monitoring and mixing use. They don't really need to be portable but more importantly durrable. I would like as my isolation as possible for the uses I liste below.
 
I currently just use my laptop,ipod,ipad2 for my at home music listening. I do not have any hifi audio equipment, but any advice on mayve some headphone amplifiers or docks for my i-devices would be nice. My music listening would be very broad from classical to country. But I listen to more alternative rock, and rock.
 
My other uese would be for live audio mixing, I am not a professional by all means, but I am learning and really enjoy running "sound" for groups at churches. I have done live-audio from classical to screamo. So that gives you an idea of what kind of sounds would be produces.
 
Possibly another use might be for in-ear monitoring as a bass player, I currently have another thread in the portable section about using some in-ears to get this job done.
 
Thanks!

Depending on cost here are my suggestions.  Included are the links to their respective charts from Innerfidelity.com.  I have experience with all of the below listed headphones and personally recommend them.  They are all well made headphones and they will sound nice as well so you can still use them for leisure not just studio work, but my recommendations are based on your studio needs.  I cannot speak of the longer term durability for the Sony MDR-EX600's as I only have a test set, but they feel more well built than many other in-ears out there.
