Hi, I'm new to the HF forums. A friend and I are really looking into doing some amateur recording in our free time. He plays the guitar and piano while I can play the tenor sax and sing. We have high hopes to start a YouTube channel with some comedic scene work in addition to our music aspirations. I'm looking for a good set of over-ear headphones to monitor and edit our recordings. I would also like to stay under $200, with preference toward something in the $99 range. There are plenty of audiophiles at my university, and they have suggested NVX Audio XPT100's. After doing some research of my own, I came up with something in the Audio Technica M-series (30x, 40x, or 50x). Those I spoke with felt that the late M-series models had a V frequency range and would not be neutral enough for monitoring. However, as I'm obviously not a professional, I thought the versatility of the M30x or M40x would work in my favor. I'm a fan of country, alternative, soft rock, and musical soundtracks, hence, I would like a pair that can work for both studio work and casual listening. I would greatly appreciate any feedback about the models that I've listed or other suggestions you may have.
