lol, sure. ask the CEO of the company who is in the business of selling their own headphones whether they think you should buy their headphones for different applications.
"The Fostex TH900 is a very linear headphone from the top to the bottom of the frequency spectrum. It does not have recessed midrange or an overpowering bottom end. It is a true reference headphone and a perfect fit for mastering engineers that need a true representation of the music. It is not overly analytical but truly transparent." -Drew Baird, P.E., President/CEO of Moon Audio - http://www.moon-audio.com/fostex-th900-flagship-dynamic-headphones.html
Either way all previous opinions stated are totally wrong! It says right on the Beats website that their Beats Pro is "the Headphones Used To Mix In Every Major Studio." Even Dr. Dre himself, CEO of Beats and a well-known hip-hop producer, says that those headphones allow you to "hear what the artists hear, and listen to the music the way they should: the way I do." Beats are "designed by professionals, for professionals." Jimmy Iovine is the chairman of Interscope records & a multitude of musicians use Beats spanning from Mark Ronson, Lil Wayne, Eminem, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, MIA, Pharrell, and Zedd. ...though maybe minus Justin Bieber since I don't know if you can really call him a musician
ymmv of course, but I am confident that all those words aren't just marketing & advertising and whenever a company tells me that their headphones are is a great headphone for mixin & masterin, I just pull out my wallet. Off to go mix up some dope tracks!!!
I find your comparison between LCD-X's and Beats hilarious. I'm not interested in changing your mind, and your contrasting opinion does not mesh with mine (or many others who actually use the LCD-X's for music creation purposes).
Good luck in your search, l33tpeas. All the information you need to know is at your fingertips. Like with all matters, though, it's up to you to sort the fact from the fiction
