non-fatiguing full fidelity sound, go for the Beyerdynamic DT770M. They
are significantly more isolating than the other phones mentioned.

And no, the radial length isn't necessarily the same as the radiator
length - they need to be tuned and pruned as they are installed and
greatly influenced by ground proximity. Tuning is typically done in
pairs

info, including ON4UN's book and online/Google.
