Sennheiser HD 25 replacement ?

From my own experience/collection: Beyerdynamic DT-770 Pro would be my top choice for your purpose. One of the most comfortable closed headphones out there for extended use. I can wear these for hours and hours. Sennheiser HD-380 Pro are also very comfortable, and isolate better than the Beyers. Sen

Albums where you lock in with zero sensory distractions?

Toxicity, no skips I also happen to have HD 280 Pro headphones from Sennheiser that have fantastic noise isolation, so that helps on top.

My Vic Firth’s broke. Recs for iso headphones?

Sennheiser HD 280s I found them to have just as much isolation as the Vic Firths but more comfortable and better sounding. The only thing I dislike is the curly cable.

Headphone recommendation for Soundcraft UI24R Rackmixer

If you’re narrowing it to AKG K371, Shure SRH840A, Sennheiser HD 280 Pro, and Beyer DT770 Pro, you basically picked the actually useful on a loud stage shortlist. K371 is the most neutralish of the bunch and it seals well enough for stage, plus you get long detachable cables in the box, so you’re no

What headphones with ear Protections do you recommend?

Personally, I still use the Sennheiser HD 410's I bought in 1983. However, my 410's use foam ear pads, so there can be some bleed over when using them in the studio. Given that, if I were to recommend a set of headphones for recording and general playing, it would be the Sennheiser 280. Decent price

Recording Sax at Home

Headphones: I'd recommend Sennheiser HD280 Pro. They're $90-100, very isolating, and pretty neutral sounding. Mic wise, you might want to consider a ribbon microphone? There are good affordable options from Cascade mics, like the Fat Head.
