Almost any reasonable pair of headphones will work just fine. Sony, 
AKG, and Audio Technica are good brands widely available in the US. 
Buy for comfort. Someone mentioned Beyer -- also good German mfr, not 
so easy to find in North America, the ones I've worn are not as 
omfortable. 

I also recommend Shure and Etymotic Research "in ear" earphones, and 
use them myself. See http://audiosystemsgroup.com/RFI-Ham.pdf for 
specific make/model recommendations, as well as a discussion about 
headphone impedances in general. 

If you're hearing impaired, you may want to pay more attention to 
sensitivity.
