the sony 700's
and it just opened my world
i never heard music on a pair of good headphones before
i was always producing music on my ipod headphones,
now i feel like i have opened a new chapter in my production journey
mastering, equing, the bass, seems so much more important now..
i cant believe i was sending my tunes to labels ..using ty computer speakers and ipod headphones. before :stongue:
i can finally hear music how its suppose to actually sound
i feel like i am in a club when i put these headphones on.
sorry for being over excited, i just opened my ears to a whole new world thats all. :D |

to be honest, all of my productions are done on a pair of no-name sears home-theatre speakers that were bought second-hand from my friend's mom. i swear they sound decent, and my tracks don't sound like , as far as i'm concerned.
sometimes i listen to and work with my mix through a pair of rubber-surround earbuds too. those are obviously very bass-heavy, but i get a better idea of how the panning sounds in my track with a pair of headphones. sure, down the road i'll need a decent pair of studio monitors, but for right now, what i have does the trick.

people like to talk about the v700's but i personally think they sound good. i would comfortably use them for production and not worry about the finished product sounding inaccurate. 7506's sound better though, imo, and are cheaper.
edit: i remember the first time i used v700s and 7506s. my old roommate (d-res) owned a pair of v700s while owned a pair of RPDH-1200s. the 1200s are very mid-heavy, are uncomfortable, and are ing heavy as . it's like wearing a brick tightly strapped to your head. my ears are kinda big, so they ing ACHED after wearing them for more than an hour. the v700s sounded very clear, were a little bass-heavy (i think, it's been a while) but were comfortable and accurate.
later on, i had a party at my house with a bunch of mwta's, i used lucid's 7506's while tripping on mushrooms. i swear, i thought they sounded ing amazing. i ended up borrowing them for like, a week after that to finish up a mix i was working on at the time. even after the psychedelic episode, they sounded amazing. very clear, very accurate, and the headphones are pretty lightweight. that's the only way i can describe its sound. lol |

| my review on the 700s would be that they have good mids, mid highs and highs. but, i cant trust the lows too much, although the frequency response is there, its not really that tight. |

you should have gotten MDR-7506's instead
or better yet AKG K240 |

Why? does he produce jazz?
I think you guys need to think about more neutral headphones (not Grados:D ) |

TBH, that can be said for most closed back heaphones that are decent - bass response is NEVER going to be accurate on them.
I had the 700's for DJing and loved them - very clear, not as clinical as the senn HD25 (and more comfy) but eventually got the MDR7509HD - If you think the 700's are good, then the 7509HD's will blow your mind.
In fact I hear details on them that don't represent on most good monitor systems. In some cases I've learnt to relax about certain things I hear on them.
Congrats! |
