Choosing headphones for the home studio

You've probably noticed there are several different styles of headphones out there, some go in you ear, some go over. Some are wireless and some cancel noise. Which is the best kind to buy?

Studio Headphones
There are three kinds of headphones most commonly used in studios. They look similar but there is one feature that distinguishes the three types, that is the vents on the back of the cup.

A headphone with no vents is called a closed-back design, sound from the speaker are prevented from leaking out and outside sounds are isolated. This type of headphone is great for recording because of the isolation they provide, greatly reducing extra noise picked up by your microphones. The problem with this design is that it is difficult to build an accurate and detailed speaker in a sealed box, so you can't really trust the sound from them for mixing.
