I forgot the hum thing you mentioned when I posted. What kind of headphone amp are you using?

UPDATED: FYI..a closed back headphone I used were a pair of Sennheiser HD280Pro's. They were very good for the money and were rated as a best buy quite some time ago. It looks like you can still buy them but Sennheiser has some newer models that you may consider. The HD380 headphones look interesting for the money. They are listed for about $150. I would look into the HD280Pros and the HD380s if I were in your place.

FWIW, I owned the HD280Pros for over 10 years and used them daily for a few years. I would still have them but I gave them to my son who is still using them. The HD280Pros have a 64 ohm impedance and 102db sensitivity. The HD280Pro is known for being tough and lasting. They also have good sound quality. Surprising for the money.
