Related to your open back headphones comment: I hate using closed back/ noise canceling headphones while talking in calls. Fortunately, I don't have anyone around me so I don't need them but I can't imagine having to use them and listening to my own voice through my skull.
I'm currently using the HD58X but I might look into getting the SHPs as a "beater" pair with the VModa mic.
