Good Studio Headphones?

Post by Annex » Thu Jan 19, 2012 12:45 am

Aye, I'm looking for a pair of decent studio headphones. I'm looking to spend around $300 and I was wondering if you guys had any recommendations?

yo definitely get ultrasone pro 900's and they're awesome. they have titanium drivers which are very light and strong. they have a huge sound stage especially because of the offset drivers and the logic plus design, which also help reduce hearing damage because they do not blast directly into your ears and you can listen to them at low volumes and still get amazing detail and bass. they are very accurate for monitoring and they go down VERY low. The bass response is amazing and tight. Also they are the most detailed pair of headphones i've ever heard, they will reveal things in your mix that you have never heard before. also, they are extremely comfortable with the design utilized and the velour pads. i could talk about them all day but thats really the gist of them. they are one of the best investments i have made for my little home studio, seriously they are fucking quality. some other headphones i chose them over are beyerdynamic dt's, shure 940's and a bunch of others.

I use Sony MDR-7506's. For £100 to me these are the shit. Really accurate imo. When I'm mixing on these, if I get it right, then 9 times out of 10 it will sound good on other systems as well.

My best advice, though, would be to get down to westenddj or wherever you're getting your stuff from and try some headphones out.

I don't know much about studio headphones, but will AERIAL7 TANK do it if you can't spend more than 100$? I know they are good for DJ'ing, but will they do it in the studio? I really like the looks of them and would really like to know. :D
