Hi Guys
I want to buy a pair of headphones to use on the move and cant seem to make up my mind. Can you please suggest a decent pare of headphones in the £100-£200 range.Or maybe just tell me which ones you are using and what is good about them.
Thanks peeps |

I love my HD-600 :D Would never give them away.:p
Although they should be powered by a decent amp.
Not sure if there are "best" headphones for production,
I just love the sound of the HDs and they are comfortable to a point where you forget that you have headphones on. |

| An alternative would be the Sennheiser HD595 which are a great pair without the need for an amp. (a sixth of the impedance) |

| AKG-K701, best headphones for EDM production, super neutral, super comfy and translate REALLY well to full range systems. really headphones you can trust to make mixing decissions |

if youre going for the akg 701's you might as well get the 702s the detachable cable is very good, a lot of stores list them for the same price too... although white is nice ha. function > aesthetics.
if youre at a 100dollar budget, go for sony v6 , sony v7506. if you want higher, id save for the akg. you're looking for them to be flat.
edit* surely this has been discussed before no? did you search? |

Sorry guys I did a search to se if someone posted something similar but did not came up with anything decent also thought it would be a great topic cuz people like to talk about equipment. :crazy:
I was looking at the 701/2 glad you mentioned it.
Does anyone own the DT880 pro from Beyerdynamic? |

| i got sony mdr-v6 and akg k240 studio. akg is better than sony for anything but djeing. but to tell you the truth producing on headphones is really difficult. i get incredible better results using monitors. and i think i know why; almost anything sounds good on headphones. |

| for producing you want a half open system. closed cans are good for tracking (less leakage) but for soundstage and overall respons, you really want open or half open system |

Using the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pros here. They are ok. They take a long time, at least for me, to break in or grow on you, however you want to put it. Would I recommened them? Probably not but I have heard good things about their successor, the 880s.
The suck thing about headphones and a great frustration, at least where I live, is that with so many choices and recommendations out there, you cannot test drive these things. For such a big expense and commitment, it would be nice to have a store to try pro headphones out before buying. Maybe because of ear crust or oils or general human that could glaze high end cones would make such a situation a bad business move, I don't know.
I'm curious, does anyone have a store near them where you can test drive high end headphones? |
