So I finally have money to burn on some gear for my production set up. Right now I'm rockin $30 Sony wal-mart phones and desperately need an upgrade.
I've been looking at the AKG K240 55ohm model for awhile set around $100. But I've been hearing a lot of good things about Grados. I managed to score an extra 100 bones and can afford to spend 200 on a set of phones IF I NEED TO.
I make electronic music and am looking for the FLATTEST response for the money. My style is kinda The Chemical Brothers / Boards of Canada type stuff. Maybe with a little bit of The Police thrown in for good measure
My question is basically, what is the BEST VALUE for my money. I want to save as much as possible to put towards more gear (looking at some hardware synths and need to save up). I'll be getting an NI Audio Kontrol 1 with whatever headphones I buy.
The phones I'm looking at:
AKG K240 (100)
AKG K240 mk2 (150)
Grado 225 (200)
Grado 125/80/60 (80-150)
I can't demo any of these models. There is no store within driving distance that sells phones. The nearest would be 2 hours away and that's only a Guitar Center - doubt they have any of these phones.
I'm sorry if this question has been asked to death, but I searched a bit and didn't find anything. Thanks for any help / opinions / advice you guys can give!
