Headphone, help

2016-11-06 08:43:31

Hello I am a musician and I want to buy headphones for mixing and listening to quality music. I do not seek power or bass. Looking for real and accurate sound. use focusrite 2i2 Price $ 200

For listening RHA MA 750 https://www.rha-audio.com/cz/products/ma750 or RHA T20 https://www.rha-audio.com/cz/products/t20 Very "neutral".

For mixing (putting them on and off head repeatedly) Sennheiser HD 25.

Just my recommendation others may suggest their.

Keep on mind the 2i2 has a 10 Ohm output impedance.

I do consider them neutral or at least not bass heavy, the pest of a lot of today's headphones

FYI - Most pros recommend against using headphones for mixing.

From Recording Magazine:

As those of you who have followed this column for any length of time can attest, headphone mixing is one of the big no-no's around these parts. In our humble opinion, headphone mixes do not translate well in the real world, period, end of story. Other than checking for balance issues and the occasional hunting down of little details, they are tools best left for the tracking process.

I'm quite fond of the Shure SRH-840.

I quite like the Beyerdynamic DT-880s, and the DT-23x series for a more affordable set.

I use the focusrite 2i2 with Beyerdynamic DT-770 Pro's. Killer sound, and often can be found "on sale".

These are anything but neutral. I have them myself and they have the typical v curve signature. Not too bass heavy and I totally love them, but they're definitely not neutral.

Sealed http://www.innerfidelity.com/content/innerfidelitys-wall-fame-full-size-sealed#CMhAqUBOMT76GidA.97

My personal preferences go to Sennheiser HD 600/650. Neutral and precise.

The AT M50x are not neutral but an awesome deal for a closed phone.
