It's for my home studio, so they should be
multi-purpose. Mostly as an alternative way of checking
a mix or for casual listening, but sometimes for
tracking or editing. But volume levels will not be high
during tracking, so the ability to play loud is not
important. Very accurate reproduction, closed-back
design, and comfort seem to be the important
considerations.

In the past someone mentioned that they liked Audio
Technica ATH-A700 phones. Do those fit the description
I've offered?

Please see:

Very accurate reproduction,

Check. Sound is not all that dissimilar from Sennheiser HD 580s. IOW, smooth
and a tad warm.

closed-back design,

Check. There are also open-air versions of the same basic headphones called
the ATH-AD700

and comfort

Check. Very lightweight, and with large, soft ear-pads. The earpads are so
soft that there might be some problems with maintaining accurate location,
except for the novel soft, spring-loaded headpads.

About $125 US mail order price.
