Monitoring Headphones -

[Zaven]

Any useful suggestions on Dance music monitoring headphones...?

I'm looking seriously at the AKG 270's or lightweight 271S's




I'm open to some thoughts..

I've got some Sennheiser HD 25s - and the clarity is spot on for what I need. :cooljump:

zur tin,

Are you D.J'in tho?? They're good for monitoring bass tone P.F.L's I find.. Not sure how good they be for production monitoring.

I guess they rate pretty highly, but..


Need a bit more width and dynamic range. Something, not zur wot wot dough.

I've got Sennheiser HD 200s, which I use. Quit like um although I haven't tried any other head phone to be honest with you so I can't compare.
Just thought that if I spent over a certain amount then they were sure to be good.

Fair comment me thinxiz>>



Gonna start flapping some £50 notes about then - see what sticks. :crazy:

Naaah, I think the AKG's are the likely choice so far... Anymore for anymore??

i'm of to buy Sennheiser EH2200 today, i'll agree with psyfi on the spend over a certain amount and they'll be good. Compairing specs they all seem very similar (at about £50).

We use beyerdynamic DT770's at uni - highly recommended, especially as those velour cups are comfortable as a mofo !

peace,

I use Beyer Dynamic ones aswell. I really rate them.

over the last month or so, while my monitors were off for repair i got the best part of a new track down using only HD25's - i got my monitors back last week, plugged em in & hey presto...the new track written using only headphones sounds Ace!!

personally i find headphones too tiring in the long run, but once you know your sounds you can just use the headphones to crack on with writing of the music & then mix it later.

Which model Jon? Have found the 770 Pro for under a hundred.

ended up getting the Sennheiser HD-25's and they are lovely. They are much better at the low end, which is where I want them for DJing, and fuck me, they'll make my ears bleed before they distort

Beyerdynamic all the way...

I've got the 990s and they are by far the most accurate headphones I've ever tried.

Compared to the 770s, apart from the fact that these are open back, they are much more comfortable and the fabric that touches your ears is a hell of a lot nicer...

I got a pair of HD25's and I honestly cannot complain

I use the HD 280pro from Sennheiser - it's blasting my acoustic meatus away... :

But it's more useful for monitoring, than for djing, I think.

if you have to use cones then yes DT770 pro... its ok untill you can get some monitors. but to be honest Im using Pioneer HiFi speakers and DT770 pro and Gemini DJ cones and KRK VXT4
