HEADPHONES

[EDJ]

TO ALL YOU STUDIO JUNKIES, ENgINEERS, BEATMAKERS, PRODUCERS, AND SERIOUS EQUIPMENT HAVIN' MUTHA-FUKAS:

WHAT KIND OF HEADPHONES DO YOU HAVE, RECOMMEND, OR FEEL ARE THE BEST IN MONITORIN' YOUR MUSIC?

 

[phil]

damn e you beat me to this post. i cant afford a nice set of monitors yet so headphones will be my next investment.

 

[MOESES SOULRIGHT THE 2nd]

Sony, they make a pair, it's like a $100 bucks, i forget the name
best for monitoring

 

[RaginHomosexual]

sony mdr700

 

[Sick Wid It]

Sony MDR-7506. That's the only name you'll need to know.

 

[Young Bull]

Sony MDR-V700. For 100 bucks, its well worth the money.

At first, it feels like its squeezing the shit out of your brain. But then you get used to it.

 

[MOESES SOULRIGHT THE 2nd]

nah, the sony V900...might be more then $100...

 

[Willy Jones]

I don't waste money on headphones. I've mixed on 100 dollar pairs and radio shack pairs - and they always give a false mix.

 

[BIG J]

Mixin' on headphones is hella Hard. I only mix on my Monitors. Cuz instead of having the left and right stereo fields in front of you, you hear them fromt he side. And it really throws everything off. I have me some Sony MDR V600's. About 120-130 bucks is what you're gonna want to spend.

 

[EDJ]

I WAS ABOUT TO SNATCH EITHA THE SONY MDR-7506 OR 7509 BUT I DIDN'T gET EITHER. WHY YAW SAY THEY'RE THE BEST FOR MONITORIN'?

AND FOR THOSE THAT SAY IT gIVES A FALSE SENSE OF MONITORIN', WELL... SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO BE QUIET CAUSE OTHA PEOPLE AROUND AND THE FREQUENCY RESPONSE IS WIDER.

BUT I ENDED UP gETTIN' THE FOSTEX T-50RP'S, THE FREQUENCY RESPONSE IS FROM 15HZ TO 35kHZ AND THEY gOIN' FOR LIKE A BUK. WHAT YAW HEARD ABOUT THE FOSTEX RP SERIES?

 

[Bigga Don Jah]

get a 7506 or a HD 280 Pro .... check some sennheiser microphones at http://www.sennheiser.com/sennheiser/icm_eng.nsf/root/products_headphones_professionals

 

[BANETHEMERCILES]

i only use my headphones when i monitor recording sessions so i can here voices loud and clear to hear any mistakes....other then that i use my monitors

 

[YOUNGNUTT]

WILL ANY SET OF HEADPHONES WORK???

I BOUGHT SOME CHEAP ASS "JVC" HEADPHONES FOR $12 THEY SAY IDEAL FOR CD/DVD STEREO HEADPHONES. WHEN I HOOK THEM UP TO THE 4 TRACC, I ONLY HEAR MY VOICE AND NO MUSIC, WHEN I HOOK THEM UP TO MY COMPUTER, I ONLY HEAR AIR.

CAN ANYONE SPEAK ON THIS???

 

[AssistedSuicyde]

^^no, look around check some reviews around if you want some audio production worthy pair

mixing audio over headphones is like cooking in pitch dark

i use BeyerDynamicT770 n Sennheiser:HD280 Pro, both are great
the BeyerDynamic has better bass response id recomend that pair any day, despite the high price

 

[Vince V.]

Sony MDR-7506. That's the only name you'll need to know.

REAL TALK.

That's the standard right there.

I got a few pairs of those, never let me down.

 

[MOESES SOULRIGHT THE 2nd]

best headphones are Ultrasones...

they are effin ridiculously good
and they are so much better for your ears then any headphone out there

 

[Malkorasoul]

They're pretty expensive, cheapest set is 190
Check the prices


ey would it be better to buy some moniters for around 200 or them ultrasone headphones?

 

[MOESES SOULRIGHT THE 2nd]

do you have monitors?
i'll let heresy touch on this...

even though we don't seem to agree
his answer is the safer one

 

[GHP]

People have been telling me over and over not to try to monitor with headphoness and they wont substitute for speaker monitors. I do need a good set my damn self though

Id figure you would need to listen to your mixes several ways, you know listen to them on monitors, headphones, home stereo, car stereo etc so you can even out the mix so it sounds clean on any medium. That will also let you know the strong and weak points of the monitoring system you are using, Im pretty new to this stuff but i can make good educated guesses HAHA
