I'm a student entering the University of Miami's Music Engineering Technology program. I already make my own electronic music and am looking for a budget (absolute highest I'll go is $150) pair of headphones for mixing, listening, etc.
My friends all use the MDR-V700DJ cause they're DJ's and being into Intelligent Dance Music, I really love a full, deep, whalloping bass. However, that big bump in the lower, mid range which sounds great isn't so good for coming up with a clean mix.
I'd get the AKG K240 Studio (what are the differences between the Studio, Monitor, and DF?) but they need a headphone amp which means that portable listening would be hindered, plus a headphone amp is more money which is something I can't afford to spend at this time (Damn this country's educational system!).
Although I'd love to get the Sony's for listening and the AKG's for mixing/producing, I simply cannot afford 2 great pairs of cans. The bass and low power consumption drive me towards the Sonys but the flatness and accuracy of the AKG's make me want to get them. Any help?
Also, what are some good, inexpensive ($50?) headphone amps? Or does anyone have any ampless suggestions for my needs?
Cheers,
