I have ended up buying the Shure SRH940's! Lol. I got a really good deal on them so couldn't resist. I look forward to trying them out, and I'm sure it won't be the last set of cans I buy. Still wanting a set of open/semi open backs.

How would you say the 435s stack up against the K702/HD600/DT880's?   I can get a pair of those 435s for £130 new. Which seems like a good deal compared to the DT880 at £185 and the K701 at £165

Just listening to your tunes! Not usually my sort of thing but I'm digging "City in the sky" & "On Plastic"

Well for recording at home I just have a Mac with a focusrite interface, and for listening to music I have a Marantz PM6004 & Marantz CD6004.

Thanks Acix you have been a great help ;-)

Hi, just wondering if anyone has had any experience with the German Maestro GMP 435s??? Stumbled across it when looking for a mixing can. Comparing them to the likes of DT880 K70x HD600 Thanks Carl

Quote:   lol So true! Thanks Acix, I have had a good read through those threads. T1 is a bit more than I wanna spend, trying to keep under £200 if poss.

Need a decent flat set of cans for mixing at home. After hours of searching I think it's between these bad boyz! Just wondering what most people would recommend? Beyerdynamic DT880 pro -£185 AKG K701 - £165 Any help or recommendations would be appreciated.

Quote: They must get recommended for a reason no? They can't be that bad can they? and open back vs closed is another preference thing, I wouldn't say it was a minus.

Quote:   Check out the Audio Technica ATH M50s can be had for around £100-£120 ebay has a few slightly cheaper, but sounds perfect for what you need. I am seriously considering them myself but am torn between those and the Beyerdynamic DT880 pro's but will cost about 85% more!!!

Hi, I am looking at buying some headphones purely for mixing at home. I have been searching the forums constantly trying to find an answer, but haven't been able to make a definitive decision on a pair. I know it's all personal preference, but I just wanted to see what the most recommended...
