I also have a set of the Sony MDR-7506 cans as Eddie mentioned. They are on Amazon for under $100 a pair. Don't let the price fool you. These are really decent cans for mixing and mastering. I didn't take a Berkley class but I did see Andrew Scheps discussing this.
I have used them to do complete projects from time to time. The good thing about using cans is they take the room out of the equation. I have also used $30 ear buds,,,,, the sound isolating type,,,, to do mixing and recording.
