Looking for long session comfort, decent isolation and fairly uncolored response
Comments
I have been using the Sony MDR 1AM2 for several years with my iPad Pro. They are very comfortable for extended use. When I bought them I told the salesman that I was looking for something flat that wouldn’t overemphasize anything. The only way I could test them was to burn a CD, then listen in my car, a Toyota Camry. I figured if it sounds good in a very common, popular car, that was good enough for me. The price isn’t bad, $150-$200 depending on where you buy them. I think I paid around $180. Good luck!
I’m very happy with the Philips X2hr. Sometimes the price goes down to 80 euro’s.

I got the Beyerdynamic DT 700 Pro about a year ago instead of fresh 770 Pros which I'd used for the past 20 years, and I rate them highly. Finally some beyerdynamics get replaceable cables. Better for mixing than the 770s were, though I find to be slightly duller, they simultaneously reveal more to me in the mids, I'm picking out things other mix engineers I know haven't noticed. Exhibit A: stuck synth note from 2m52 to 3m45 on https://kaytronik.bandcamp.com/track/spirit-honeycomb-main-mix . If you hear it anyway then maybe I'm not as special with my 700s as I think I am, but no one else I know including some well known people heard it

Otherwise, maybe the newish Sennheiser HD 480?
I replaced my Sony mdr-7506s with the M1s and I couldn’t be happier. They’re similar enough that I didn’t have to learn new headphones, but they sound way better. Also, removable cable, and non-folding (mine always folded as I was picking them up or putting them on).
I went for a combo (DT700Pro X & DT900 Pro X) a while back...
I love my Audio Technica ATH M50x's, I have to say. I couldn't call myself an 'audiophile', but I think they are pretty detailed, including at the low end. I've picked out subtle stuff in old mixes I did before having these that I would have fixed otherwise.
When I did my research on them some reviewers thought they were a bit 'bass forward', so you'd have to see if the response curve is suitable for you. I don't think they are at all over the top, but then I like big butts bass.
In the recent hot weather they have been a bit warm on the ears, and for very long sessions (lol, hardly ever nowadays) they can sometimes get a bit uncomfortable, but I've never had headphones that didn't, tbf.
They do fold, and came with detachable coiled and straight cables, pleather pouch and jack adaptors. Would buy again.
Thanks all for the options
Yeah I think removable cable will increase longevity, I been through 3 sets of Sony 7510 all died with 1 channel dying because loose connection where the cable goes in to headphone being the weak point always
Been using Beyer DT770 Pro for 20 years and never thought they were uncomfortable. Listen for hours without discomfort.
Completely different.
For 30 euros I’m happy with the Moondrop retro.
I have the ATH M40x which I use both for mixing and mastering. They are a bit cheaper than the M50x, and some rank them as even better suited for music production than the M50xs, giving a more detailed sound. IMO both are very good reasonably neutral headphones not costing a fortune! Detachable cable is a plus, and the minus is as @evenSteven wrote, they can get a little warm around the ears in longer sessions.

Been using AKG271 for several years and v happy with them. Super comfy over long sessions and replaceable cable a big plus.
SOooooo comfortable! I love them!
Comfy absolutely! when I'm recording/tracking/sampling or need to isolate external sounds I use the DT700Pro X otherwise DT900Pro X's.
True, I didn't actually mention that. Headphone equivalent of a plush sofa.
The only thing is if someone is very used to the Sony profile Beyerdynamic may seem dull so they may not work for Red. I had some 7509s and they were so bright I became scared for my ear health, but of course they have their userbase.
I've had my fair share of MDR-7506's but I can't stand them anymore. The membrane resonates on its own creating frequencies that are not even part of the original recording and even though they are 'easy to drive' they do require a low output impedance headphone amp to avoid the bass-bump which again is not there in the original recording...
I got AT M50x’s and AKG 553’s and I mix better on the AKGs there a little less bass and good soundstage.
I've been using my Sennheiser HD 650 headphones pretty much every day since 2011. I'm surprised that they still work.
This model is open ear, so it may depend on your working environment.
I'm a fan as well, and have both the DT700ProX and DT900ProX. They're the most comfortable headphones I've had and they both sound fantastic, especially the DT900ProX pair.
Something that no one talks about much is headphone creak. My wife sings and we went through too many pairs of headphones looking for ones that don't have creaking plastic joints that make noise when someone moves their mouth to sing. It's makes them unusable for recording vocals. The Shure headphones I bought were the worst. The Beyerdynamic headphones are silent that way.
I like that old school look. It's not lacking too much bass ?
I think the sound is surprisingly good.
And I really like the lightness,
It doesn’t give you that feeling to be closed of from the world
Something that larger headphones sometimes give me.
Nice, I think I'm add it to my stuff to buy list. Even though the dt770 is said to be comfortable, I started feeling some discomfort after wearing them for years.
