Sony 7506 $89-100 US I use these and the work great. Load of others on this cite use them as well... I'm sure the search for sony or 7506 would help you lots.
Sony 7509 $250?!?! US (better bass response, but is it worth the x-tra$?)

My wife bought the Sony 7509s for xmas for $170. They sound great, but I am sure the 7506s are very good. I agree with feefer. Bring your module to the store with you and try out as many different phones as posible. You may even find an off brand that sounds as good as the Sonys for less mony.
Good luck

I found the Sony MDR-V700DJ and/or the Ministry Of Sound DJ1001 made by IXOS, to be the better choice than any other Head Phones on the market without spending more than $150.00.
The sound is clean and fat (especially on the low end). The kicks thump hard using either of the headphones. Both headphones have a lot of headroom (3 watts) and the 50mm drivers can produce better dynamics then most other phones on the market.
The Sony 7506 & 7509 are good, flat response phones. Good for mixing down and such.
The full response (low, mid & highs) is what I would like when using headphones through the Roland modules or any other once.

Also don't forget to "burn in" any new headphones. Most cans are harsh and trebly for the first few hours.
A decent volume CD repeating overnight should do the trick. That's also another reason to try out the used store demo models rather than "out of the box" new cans when demoing.

I picked up a pair of 7506's about a year ago. I like them overall (comfort, sound) but they seem to be very anemic in the bass region. The kick drum kinda gets lost relative to everything else, whereas everything sounds balanced on the external monitor. Am I missing something, or do other folks notice a lack of bass in these headphones? Is there an adjustment to boost the bass level in the headphones?

If you are practicing using your headphones only (no amp), try adjusting the master EQ. It's a 3 band EQ. That should help.
I have listened to a dozen different headphones thru the TD-10 and each one sounds different. Most sound like crap. I'd still recommend the 7506.

I had the same experience. I have the 7506's and a set of Yamahas. The Yamaha phones kick @ss over the Sonys as far as bass goes but the Sonys are so crisp on the top end. It gets very difficult trying to balance both pairs and play at the same time.
