Re: Studio Headphones

Re: Studio Headphones

If its for recording purpose go with something from beyer dynamic. We have those in our studios and I think they suck.

Re: Studio Headphones

the ones that work for you, i read that timbaland does all his mixing on headphones, i guess it';s getting used to it and knowing how it will translate to playing on speakers later.

real mixing specific headphones are crazy expensive

Re: Studio Headphones

i like the beyerdynamic dt990 because of their good bass. they lack a bit precision in the mids but they have a nice spatiality.

Re: Studio Headphones

Got beyer dt-770 and theyre really starting to piss me off, they start killing the top of my head after wearing them for 20 minutes or so, its like my heads in a vice.
They sound good tho, gonna try and modify the band, put more foam in or something.

Re: Studio Headphones

I got some Sennheiser HD 202's ... recession friendly price big_smile

Re: Studio Headphones

I absolutely love the Beyerdynamic DT-150s. Super-comfortable to wear for a whole day and very clear, neutral sound without sacrificing bass.

Re: Studio Headphones

Sennheiser HD600, the best there is smile So clear, and pronounced, I really use it to mix on it aswell, very pro stuff

Not a bassboomer thats kills your ears like some other brands...

Re: Studio Headphones

i have to get headphones asap.

What do you guys think of the Sony MDR-7506 ?

I can get em for $80.. which is a good price range for me.

Will be using them for a lot of field recording / post production for film as well as making techno.

Re: Studio Headphones

I use a pair of AKG K702 and I think they're great.

I've had the MDR-7509 for 9 years now, they sound great and are built to last, I never mix with them but they are great for detail work.  Plus they are very quiet from the outside, great when monitoring a mic.

i've been meaning to pick up a pair of MDR's, i always hear great things about them for studio use. i have some kind of cheap AKGs and decently priced audio technicas. i don't really mix with either though, usually i use them for recording guitar amps, checking mics, and programming machines late at night.

worship the potentiometer.

Re: Studio Headphones

They're good, the latest top of the line MDRs look great and have a detachable cable, which is probably what will go first on mine.
I've seen a lot of old 7506s stil working even if they looked terrible, they're workhorses.
