If you are hard of hearing like me and need the volume the Timberwolfs work the best for me. If you hearing is not as bad and volume is not important than the Sun Ray Pros Golds, any of the Gray Ghost or Killer Bees seem to work out OK. I find that the headphones made for detecting are the best as they are made for us that wear them for hours at a time. Never had much like with those made for home stereo or the cheapie headphones.

I have long used and loved the Gray Ghost Black Widows. In my left ear (More Pronounced there) I have the classic Shooter's notch. It is so called because loud gunfire is one regular cause of it. It normally wipes out higher pitch sounds, and in my case, it is a real problem because my wife's speaking tones are dead center in it. I am now 63, and my 50Th birthday present was a pair of hearing aids that I hated and swore that I didn't need. I am past that denial stage now and look for new models of hearing aids on a regular basis.
The history on the hearing loss goes back to my teen-age years when I flew gas powered model airplanes (Rat Race and Combat) which were unmuffled. Then in my 50's I was bitten by the Civil War reenacting bug and allied myself with the 5Th Company of The Washington Artillery of New Orleans. Though we were required to wear ear plugs, and I always did, cannon fire cannot be said to help ones hearing ultimately. My black widows gave me my ability to hear when I hunt and I am eternally grateful to Mike Storm for them...

I also have a hearing problem and switched to the Black Widows and they were much better, but I couldn't get the volume adjusted to suit me so I switched to the RAT Phones and I am very happy with them! And the cuffs are the most comfortable of any of the other phones. The Widows were probably as comfortable though. If I were you, I would get one or the other.
