Hey guys,
For a long time now, I've been using my trusty EVENT monitors for all of my music production. But most of my best productions have come about at late night hours where cranking these up would upset the neighbors ;).
Anyone recommend any high-quality studio monitor cans? Haven't looked into this too much, but of course, the most the important thing is for me to be able to use my headphones to come up with a track and not have the levels and EQing be offset when I actually play it on live monitors or in the car.
Would love your suggestions! |

djillicit, avoid those like the plague. you want open/semi open headphones. akg 240 are a popular choice, but there are others too. search! |

I have AKG 141, 271 and 240 (yes I'm a fan of AKG :cool: ) and as said before 240 is a solid choice, even if it's not my favourite at all times...

Theran those looks really nice. Do they have am accurate bass response? That is the most important thing to me when buying headphones. I want the bass response to be as real world as possible. |

I use the Sony MDR 7909HD and I know a lot of engineers/broadcast guys that won't use anything else.
Why open back? |

Yeah for live stuff and stuff working close to mics where sound bleeding out it a problem. Closed back for isolation, open back for producing. Closed backs create standing waves and distortions in the cup, making it impossible to get accurate bass. It might be loud, but it won't be accurate. This has already been discussed about 20 times before dude...
@ the OP, just search:rolleyes: :whip: |
