Response by poster: Thanks forallmankind, I was afraid to google the price, but looks like they can be had for under $200. The problem is when multi-track recording vocals, the headphone bleeds in pretty obviously with a condenser mic, and the smaller cans hurt your ears after a few hours.

The DT100s have been popular in recording studios for decades, primarily because all the little parts are replaceable and they can handle the busy wear and tear of getting knocked around in a busy studio. They can also tolerate some very high input voltages for when the tape-op or whoever accidentally connects them to the wrong output.

If you don't need that kind of durability there are better sounding headphones available.
