It's like "what's the best vehicle for me as a nomad?" There's no one answer.
What's your budget? Are you going to wear them on an airplane? Do you need to drive them from a phone? Too many variables.
But, since you asked, If I had to recommend a no-holds-barred headphone for most people willing to part with big money, I'd say the Mr Speakers Aeon planar magnetic at $799.

Weird looking but really comfortable. Sealed, so you can listen in a relatively noisy environment. Really neutral with a kickin' bass. But, inefficient, so almost not loud enough on a phone. Price/performance WAY better than ANYTHING more expensive.
Most crazy audiophile headphone?
Sennheiser HE1 Electrostatic
