That's it really. I don't often see much being said about audio Technica's headphones outside of the ATH M50X/M40X's.
What would be considered Audio Technica's best closed back headphone?

Wondering why it has to be an AT headphone? Not interested in anything else?

I personally prefer the WP900 due to portability.

In short AT is not bad, but there are lots of better headphones. There is no best and what budget do you want to spend?

You could consider the Denon AH-D9200 https://www.denon.com/en-us/product/over-ear-headphones/ah-d9200
The Fostex, Denon, and some AT headphones are made with drivers and possibly other parts from the Foster company in Japan. Fostex is regarded as the king of bass, the Denons are regarded as more balanced.
If you want the top of the line AT model you could consider https://www.audio-technica.com/en-us/ath-adx5000
Rest of the AT audiophile line is here https://www.audio-technica.com/en-us/headphones/best-for/audiophile

I never got to hear some Denons. It would be interesting to compare them to Fostex while using equalizers.

There are a few big TH900 and D9200 threads here on headfi.
