Audio Technica ATH-M50x

The 6 Best Podcast Headphones - Spring 2022

Even though they're closed-back headphones, their passive soundstage still seems natural, and sound seems to be coming from speakers placed in front of you, which can help if you're mixing tracks.

This is going to be a long review, so try to hang in there and read to the end, I promise it's worth it!

FWIW, I absolutely LOVE my Audio Technica ATH-M50x headphones. They're over the ear but not noise cancelling. They sound absolutely incredible. I got mine on Amazon for around $149

All I can say is try to pass on the ath m50x, I've had mine for about 6 or 7 years now and personally have grown to hate them. They're just all around bad.
