For a headphone with a particularly "live" sound that's not too awfully expensive, let me recommend the German Maestro GMP 8.300 D (http://www.amazon.com/German-Maestro-GMP-8-300-Professional/...) or 8.35 D (http://www.amazon.com/German-Maestro-GMP-8-35-Headphone/dp/B...). The 8.35 is a 35Ω model but otherwise identical -- it will play louder and is intended for use with portable players (but I just tried my 300Ω unit with an iPod and it gets pretty loud, just not into ear-damage territory).
When listening to well-recorded jazz with these 'phones, I find it easy to close my eyes and imagine I'm in the room with the musicians -- more so than with anything else I've found in the price range.
