A couple of headphone needs,

I have had good success with feedback from other AudiogoN users, so I am asking:  What have you enjoyed in a pair of inexpensive headphones.  I asked this before, but have yet to purchase and now have an expanded need, both I am my youngest son are in need of a pair.  For my son it is his main system and for me it is my bedroom/2nd system...and both are the Nakamichi SoundSpace 5.   I have not had any headphone experience for many years.  In the past it has been those green Koss 4a?,  Audio Technica electret condenser.  Also had used some others in the past but nothing in years.  For both my son and I they would be used mainly for late night listening.  Thanks for your thoughts.

My son and his friends got Sony MDR-V6/7506 on my recommendation. Real bass a little crisp on top but great for monitoring and easy to drive via a DAP The only dig is they shock a little in extremely dry climate on a pile carpet. Use a little anti stat laundry spray. One can lasts 20 years.
I’ve had 2 pair for 30 years; the only wear is the earpads flake after 15 years, not affecting sound. Replacements are readily available.
Late night? I can't count the number of times I pulled them off thinking the sub was playing.
