headphones to use with a Chord Mojo


I'm open for ideas on headphones to use with a Chord Mojo headphone amp.

Any folks have used with a Mojo that turned out special?

Currently using original Sennheiser Momentum mostly with it. They need to be sealed and no sound leakage...no open back phones. Also comfortable when laying down since I mostly use this setup at night in bed before going to sleep.

I also have Grado sr80 phones that I like a lot with the Mojo but those are open back.

The Sennheisers sound good but looking for an alternative to their more laid back somewhat bass heavy sound.  

I would lean towards Audio Technica at present.   Any insights on specific models appreciated.

I can’t speak directly to the  Chord Mojo because I haven’t owned one but i’ll add something about headphones. I have always been a Stax guy, Lambdas first then the 009s. Recently, I wanted to try a closed back phone so I bought a pair of Audeze LCD-XC here on Audiogon. I really like them and friends have said they prefer them to the Stax. I believe it is the comfort of the ear pads, who knows. I would take a look at the extensive line of phones from Audeze before you make the final decision.
