I second and third this recommendation! I love these headphones.

"Sennheiser HD 650 Open-back Audiophile and Reference Headphones"

Expensive, but the ear cups fit nicely over my ears and don't smash them and they adjust more than big enough to fit over my massive noggin :). They are very comfortable to wear. I like the open-back design more than the closed back, too. Very good response and sound.

I totally understand the struggle of keeping the volume down in a small apartment! For headphones that work well with your Moog gear and won’t break the bank, I’d recommend a few options. The Audio Technica ATH-M40x has a nice balanced sound and handles low frequencies really well. Another great choice is the Sony MDR-7506; these are super popular and offer great clarity, plus they’re comfy for long sessions. I actually bought mine from https://www.dealsandstealstoday.com/view-your-deal/ The Sennheiser HD 280 Pro is also worth considering because they isolate sound really well, so you won’t disturb the neighbors, and they’re pretty sturdy. If you can stretch your budget a bit, the Focal Listen Professional headphones are excellent for low end sounds.

I'd advise against the Sony MDR7506. Unless you have a hearing problem and needs excessive treble. These were developed for consumer use in the 80s and are very smile curved. I think in an attempt to hype up the sound of analog media like cassettes.
AKG K240 and Beyer DTR770 are flatter. Though the 770 has a notch at 4k.

Hey there, I'm SO lucky , to see here anybody asking for headphone help, so I'm also lucky to have a chance to responnd

Ey man !!!! in the 80ties I was looking for a headphone that can keep up with the famous basses of the famous Moogs.....

So after carfully comparig some famous brands I've finally got to the AKG 380 with a phenomenal fundament of bass,
it's a dynamic and it'l blow you away, if youve got i.ex. a Mini or a Taurus or etc..................

Look on ebay, if you can find a AKG 380 with its extraordinary bass-capabilities, and your neighbours might kill ya'..........
So if you ask me, I'm the most happy man on thin planet,..........After purchased my Mini, the Taurus 1 and the Poly and the AKG
380 I''m the most lucky man on earth !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
