I am planning to buy a pair of headphones so I can use with Reason on my laptop, I dont want to get monitors, YET and I already have a pair of headphones that im thinking of purhcasing but need more opinions from some of the experienced users on this forum.
I'm really aiming to get a Sony MDR-7509, anyone used these before for producing or djing? One of the flaws of these headphones is that they break easily
I also hear that AKG make good studio headphones |

I personally use AKG K701's, absolutely no complaints. Tracks I produce solely with those hold up on studio monitors without any problem in the mixdown. Great bass response too
Only downfall is they seriously need breaking in before they start sounding good. |

| idk about the MDR-7509's but the 7506's are great though for producing you could do better (and they definitely don't break easily, they're actually very tough). AKG K240/701's have been praised a lot though I've never tried them. (plan to get K240's in the future) I would go with AKG. I've also heard good things about Fostex T50RP and Grado SR60. |

| I have both Sennheiser HD 280 and AKG K240. I like them both. At first I didn't like the AKGs because I was so used to the Sennheisers, but they are really starting to grow on me. |

| Has anyone used the Ultrasone pro 900 headphones? i like the sound of the S-logic technology and the ULE technology. |

akg range is generally the way to go with studio headphones..
provide the most natural sound..
sony make dj headphones, what you'll be needing for production is quite different. not to say they're horrible, but probably not te best option.
akg k240s are a great studio-standard, or you could go up a level and get the 701s.. :) |

| I love my BeyerDynamics DT880Pro's - semi-open back design, comfortable, pretty accurate, blah, blah, blah. ;) |

| ok what about comparing the Ultrasone pro 900 to the AKG 701? has anyone used both? or at least the ultrasone 900's? |

normally I would agree with you but for production I would go with something open. Sound quality is usually better since closed eadphones tend to make the mids a little muddy.
7506's are amazing though. |
