If this is off-topic, please reply privately.

I'd like to get a pair of headphones, comfortable and
lightweight so I can enjoy my Harris 590 privately, and also
not be bothered by ambient sound. I want real headphones,
not the lightweight "ear-bud" or "walkman" phones. I'm very
eclectic in my listening: ham, SW broadcast, commercial,
air, etc. I'm comfortable with spending several hundred dollars,
if necessary. I've been given two contradictory bits of advice:

A) Buy communications headphones with limited frequency
response, to filter out non-voice noise.

B) Buy high-fidelity, full frequency response headphones so
you hear everything. Sound-process out (tone controls) the noise.

Suggestions or advice? Good brands and models?

Sincerely
Blair Batty, Canada
