Noise-canceling over ear headphones that also are good for mastering?

FOH is not mastering, but glad that you've mentioned these !

I read a review of the Mark Levinson No5909 that was very positive. I decided to look on ASR to see what they said. The review was pretty mixed for a $1000 pair of headphones but the frequency response was mostly flat. https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/mark-levinson-no-5909-headphone-review.35292/

Cans are funny, evey ear is shaped differently, but I do not doubt that those are awesome.
There is a spatial thing about nearfields, as well as a physical component.
It is one of the reasons that "shockwave" head sets work.
That said, I do not doubt that someone can master well on headphones, but it is not standard practice.
Why not try it a few ways, listen to your work on a few different systems and see if you hear differences from your mastering rig ?
