I have been using a set of Direct Sound EX-29s for a while without and issue.
I'm not a total expert but this is what I would recommend.
Headphones:
Cheap and good for noisy-ish environments - Status audio CB-1 $79
If you live in a noisy environment, These will give you the best reaults. A lot of getting the most our of this album is isolation. Direct Sound EX-29 $107
Super good closed backed headphones, but impedance is very high - Beyerdynamic DT-770 Pro $160
Very good open backed headphones, impedance is relatively low -
Audio Technica ATH-AD700x $109
Super good open backed headphones, but they have a very high impedance - Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro $179
Amps/DACS:
Honestly this is where I personally would spend most of your money, any really good pair of open backed headphones are going to make albums like phwoa sound amazing with the wide sounds stage but a good amp and DAC will make a world of difference. For the price the Mayflower electronics Objective2 is best bang for your buck. I' don't have a ton of experience with amps and DACs but the O2 is properly good, and for $250 you can't go wrong.
Other than that you could look into a tube style Amp but you'd need a separate DAC in most cases plus I personally don't find the tube amps to be a whole lot better unless you spend a shit ton of money on them. They do look cool as balls though.
Favorite setup: California Headphone Co. Silverdos or Audio Technica with my LG V20 and its beastly DAC and equalizer tuning. Although I wouldn't recommend the California headphones because I personally only paid $15 for them and $200 seems a bit steep for them tbh.
Note: I've owned or at least tried everything I've listed except the CB-1 but I've heard from a lot of well respected sourced that they are pretty damn good especially for under $100

Not just headphones - I got Extreme Isolation EX-29s, which are basically studio monitor headphones built into an industrial ear protection frame. Isolates even better than some Bose noise canceling headphones I've used.
