I want to use one for music listening, and for recording my guitar......
It's between, AKG 240 http://www.guitarcenter.com/AKG-K240...83-i1406311.gc Vs ATH-M50's http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Audio-Techni...item5add244c3c Vs Dr Dre, http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Beats+By...&skuId=9836718

I can't comment on the others, but I have used the Audio Technica ATH-M50's for a few years now and love them. Extremely comfortable and very good sound reproduction. I record strictly acoustic guitar and vocals.

My favorites are Grados (and they are made in the USA
 )http://www.gradolabs.com/product_pages/sr325.htm http://www.gradolabs.com/product_pages/sr225.htm They are open back so you have to be careful if used when recording but for setting up and listenting back they are great. I also have an AKG K240 Studio I sometimes use during recording.

I highly recommend the AKG K240 Studios. I use them for recording, mixing and listening. Terrific sound and designed to minimize hearing fatigue and damage from extended use. I replaced much more expensive Sony headphones with the AKGs about three years ago, and have never looked back!

I use the AKG 240 for everything. Having just sampled the Dr. Dre headphones this weekend, my initial feeling is that the AKG 240 is more accurate and therefore preferable.

I love my Senheisser HD 650's for both recording and listening. For the ultimate listening experience, I plug my Apogee Duet into a Bottlehead Crack with a Speedball Upgrade. The wonderful world of valves!

I've always considered the sennheiser HD280 to be the sm58 of the headphone world. I think everyone and their brother has them and use them for mixing phones.

I just got the HD280's and am undecided whether I like them.
They are very isolating so it's good for tracking, especially at the price point. But I feel like it's a bit muddy, not clear...so I'm not sure if they are good "reference" headphones...
