producing headphones

[55stevieboy2010]

easy

before i go on, ive read a link on a similar thread like this but no matter how i search i cant find it again (it isnt the producing headphones for under £100 either)

ill go on, so yea basically want some advice on what you guys think are the best headphones for production, i use monitors but i just want some headphones to check every now and then the comparison.

ive seen these, look pretty sturdy and seem to have decent reviews...http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audio-Technic ... 20bd372d6c

but are there any better?

thanks

Get AKG headphones. They are better than the Audiotechnica ones. I used to have those headphones you showed.

[55stevieboy2010]

any particular type mate?

any particular type mate?

akg k701 if they are in your budget range.

[55stevieboy2010]

i just want some that are a real representation of the real sound, no extra bass etc.

Just before i buy can i have clarification these are the ones from anyone??

[clifford_-]

i got told by everyone to get senheisser hdII's i think it was, im still saving...

[55stevieboy2010]

you mean these? http://djstools.com/Sennheiser-HD-25-SP-II/P11374 these are more mixing phones arnt they, arnt even closed back

and regarding the AKG Q701 ive watched a review and it says the bass is lacking a tad, dunno, still feeling them but just want some1 elses opinion on them

[55stevieboy2010]

Try the Ultrasone HFI-780s

[55stevieboy2010]

ahh ok mate, hmm not sure if i can reach that price, was thinkin max 200 cuz im mostly using monitors, just using HP's to check...

[wizeguy]

I recently upgraded to AKG k141's
Really good set of headphones

[jrisreal]

Try the Ultrasone HFI-780s

If lyons werent on permanent vacation, he'd be all over this thread talking about the ultrasone pro 900's...after researching online, though, they don't seem to be flat.

Also thinking about upgrading mine

im looking at either the akg 141 mkII's or the sennheiser HD 25 II's

my roommate has the sennheisers (http://www.sennheiser.ca/live/senn/produit/en/643/13) and i use them for mastering and doing the final touches because the sound is really clear, a lot of big name producers use them too

[drooka]

not sure what your price range is, but the akg k240 mkII's are pretty top for their price

I woudln't use the HD25 for production... brilliant DJ headphones though.

In the 200 range i'd buy these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Beyerdynamic-DT ... 529&sr=8-3

Ultrasone gives you that great studio quality. I have used the HFI-700 model for 5 years now. Mine broke and I don't think I can trust any other brand.

[bassinine]

ultrasone pro line. Cant afford that, then settle with Akg or sennheiser.

[55stevieboy2010]

thanks alot for the replys!
alot of different suggestions but i spose i gotta go with the most common suggestion which i suppose is the akg k701, lacks bass but i doubt they are that bad
