Monitoring headphones

Hi all
I was just wondering what the favourite headphones are for monitoring on this part of the site. I asked about Sennheiser 280s elsewhere, but that's really for close-mic'ed vocalists.

I use Grado headphones, and I'm curious about other people's choices for location phones. I'm thinking of upgrading to more expensive Grado phones, or the Sennheiser HD650.

Laptop Hum

I'm have a Gateway laptop, using the Lexicon Omega for my I/O. I've used it for a while, including an Audigy 2 ZS PCMCIA card before that, both no problems. Then I decided I needed more storage so I bought a 300 GB Seagate external HD. Now I'm getting a hum. The hum gets louder if I turn the output level anywhere off of the half-way mark.
