- What headphones do you use for professional location recording of classical music, in the events that you need to be in the same room or in close vicinity of the musicians and can´t use a pair of monitors?!

I´m currently using a combination of Sennheiser HD600 and HD280PRO, but the former is open and thus can´t reject the acoustic sound in the room, the latter sounds crap but is very closed / good rejection...
- Is there anything great sounding but also closed and with good rejection?!

I´ve heard people use Sony 7505, 7506 for PA/DJ-use for the great power... but turning up level is not an option, as I value my hearing for the long run.

- Any recommendations?!
