which headphone/speakers good for mastering

after the remix comp, i got alot of feedback about mastering. i know to compare to other tracks, but i dont think i'm starting off with a good set of speakers/headphones.

what do you guys use? especially headphones.

i have a pair of sony mdr-v700s which are 3 years old and have a weird spectrum

i have a pair of rather large pioneer speakers which sound great at parties but seem to muffle the bass a bit.

and a pair of sony Nude Ear buds which are my personal favorite when listening to my own tunes.

any suggestions on a new pair of cans or which of my three to use? thanks

Depends on your budget... for headphones, you can get a pair of sennheiser HD 280 pro's (what i use) for around 100$ US and even cheaper if you look around. It doesn't have the flatest frequency response out there but everything is still surprisingly clear. There takes a slight bit of adjustment to them though so you'll have to maybe listen to some "pro" tracks for a couple days on these to get a few of how things are supposed to sound

If you have a lot of money like maybe 1000$ to spend you can look around for mackie's studio monitors and you really can't go wrong with them as they give the most accurate sound that I've heard yet.

Good luck. Oh, and I think this should have been posted in the producer's forum

I consider that you don't have to buy special headphones for masterings,because thay are rather expensive(about 700$)
More then that using only headphones you can't control your sound at a full scale.Much better is to buy goog studio monitors.

All the best
