| Well, today i received my final warning from my apartment manager threatening to kick me out if i make any more noise. This really sucks because i even acousticaly treated my room and everything but i cant make any more noise. My question is what is the best /most accurate sounding studio headphones available? Money is not an isssue because I am pretty much going to sell my moniters since i cannot use them anymore. I am looking for headphones that are flat and have very accurate response. Something compared to a mackie hr 824 studio moniter but a headphone would be great. The mackie hr 824s translate perfect to any system so if you have a great mix on it, you know that if you take it to a night club or whereever, it will sound the same. Please recommend me some top notch studio headphones that is like this... something very accurate. |

The ones I have seen recommended most often in the past are the Sony MDR-7506 and the Sennheiser HD 25. The Technics RP DJ-1200 and Pioneer HDJ-1000 also both get at least a few recommendations whenever this topic comes up.
I have a pair of Sennheiser HD-280s and I'm pretty happy with them. |

| I have only heard good things about the DT 770s. Haven't heard about the Audio Technicas. |

AKG 271s
240s are okay.
271s = awesome great sound isolation (you can use them even when your neighbors are yelling about something else other than your loud music.)
:) they are pro |

| well after much researching, i finally decided on headphones made by a fairly new company called ultrasone. I picked up the pro line 650s however i will be returning them for the 750s. These headphones have some great features that allow you to hear the 3d image just like moniters and also have a shield to protect your hearing making it safer. I didnt know about this brand until the salesman told me about them. |

We have brand new ultrasones at the art institute. Word on the street is. They're hot. But please don't be dazzled by marketing horse-pockey.
A loudness curve means the boost lows and highs by a few dB to make you percieve loudeness. And 3d sound is dependant on a sound card that can generate it. Any decent pair of headphones can have "3d sound" in them.
So yea. Becareful of buying something based souly on marketing ooolalas. |

yea def , good looking out bro. I actually listened to them live so they really did sound like listening to moniters.
I may be crazy but i am thinking about getting beyer dt 990s for the sweet bass , and akg 240s for that flat you can hear what is wrong as well!
this way i think i will never need moniters ever again |

Yeah, hd 280 pro are pretty decent, maybe not the very best on the market but hard to beat price/quality-wise. |
