Entry level studio monitors for under $500 USD suggestions?

Hi All,

I'd like to finally give producing a shot. Can anyone recommend inexpensive, starter studio monitors, like some common ones?

Also, are there any acceptable in-ear ones?

If that is the case, I think most people here will recommend the AKG K240S, for ~$100 they're probably the best in that price range.

I would not buy in-ear headphones, I've found that every pair I try sounds disgusting.

Yeah, I think I'm confuse because his Post/thread subject line said "Entry level studio monitors for under $500 USD suggestions?/"

Interesting?

We will have to wait for some more clerification.

Cheers

oh hah, that's what i get for not reading the whole thing. if so, then i have audio technica ath-m45s and they sound god-like. $150 i think. i didn't even know they had headphopnes for $500+...

...are you sure he meant headphones? i'm still convinced he's talking about monitors

I thought he was too because he said "under $500", but then he asks about in-ear monitors...

It's all very confusing

I'm asking about studio monitors, like the ones to accurately replay sounds.

The second question was asking if any there are any headphones or earphones suitable for production. I have no idea if that exists or not or if the definition of studio monitors excludes them.

Go to the store, look and listen to the ones in your price range and let your ears decide by listening to tracks you know very well.
