Great thread!
I came across this via another post and thought I’d add my 2-bobs worth!
I am an Ex-pat living in Santiago, Chile who was limited with what I could bring over and thus had to opt for some headphones to do everything!
My ‘local music expert’ (actually a guy I trust & have dealt with for many years) recommended the Beyer DT770 PRO 250 Ohm for me based on use/quality/budget/flat response. My primary use has been for tracking (hence closed), but also for everything else. I had to compromise the advantages of open headphones for the preference (and advantage) of less audio bleed while recording. And yes, as someone posted, closed ‘cans’ are fatiguing!
But, I have found Beyers excellent for my purposes. They are not perfect - there is a bit of a push around 4khz, but I try to take that in to account. I guess you’d need to do the same when using studio monitors in imperfect rooms anyway!
So, I do my best with what I have and hope that more attuned I get to the response of my headphones I can get the best out of my recordings!
