Hi, fuckfaces.
>>66124640
I would get these, but they are hella uncomfortable.
>>66124962
Friend has one. They are good entry level headphones, but kinda bland. HD600 is a good upgrade if you asked me.
>>66125181
Pretty great, but aren't versatile enough for me. Great for IDM, Classical, and especially Jazz but Rock and bass heavy electronic music typically sound flat.
>>66125189
They aren't that bad, but that nigger bass kills it for me. Good isolation though.

Go to a major city and check out audio stores that contain these headphones. And have a listening test if they deem worthy to you.

What headphones do you all recommend for studio use? For mixing use and such
>>
>>66125483
I don't know your budget but if you want some good professional studio headphones for under $130 look at the audio technica ath-m50x's.
>>
>>66125483
in my experience you definitely want something open-backed

That's mighty subjective. Any Grados, Thinksound ON1, Beyerdynamics T51-P, and Sennheiser Amperior/HD-25-1 II are considered top tier imo.
>>66125479
Make sure to ask to demo and ask to demo your own music for the headphones. You don't want to listen to music you don't listen to with the headphones you want to try.
>>66125521
If you want a closed back. Get the Sony MDR-7506 or if you want open and want natural sound. Get the HD600's.

If you want something flat. Go get the HD800 or AKG 550. OR something...
>>
>>66125530
Any reason for this? Im really curious, as I would think closed ear would be better to keep sound leakage to a minimum.

again, just my experience, but it usually translates the mix better to a wider variety of systems

>>
>>66125585
You want a Open Back if your doing Post-Production. If you are on stage you don't even need anything, but one of those professional IEM's. If you want a closed back headphone I still recommend the MDR-7506.

They technically are. The issue they derive from is that they have no usage in a recording, relaxed listening, and the such. They are only good for portability. Their soundstage is miniscule, and they are really in your face. Most of the time they feel disconnected to how real life instruments sound. Open-Backs are easily superior, but aren't as convenient to bring around as IEM's. And really Speakers are the top dog when it comes to sound, but they are not portable and if they are, they sound like shit.

Where my Sennheiser bros at.

My pair is close to 16 years old and is still going strong, outliving my amp that I bought with them and will probably have to replace soon.

On that note, anyone want to suggest a decent headphone amp for 200-300£(250-400$)?
