I'm convinced there is no such thing -- you can't get a 3-D soundstage from headphones. However, you can get vivid detail and depth that is close from Sennheiser HD800s driven by a balanced headphone amp with completely separate electronics for each channel. Crossfeed can help with any listening fatigue you may get from headphones -- the headphones will disappear -- but crossfeed usually involves tweaking frequency responses and, furthermore, with a balanced amp, you probably won't need it.
