Hi there,
I am a newbie regarding headphones, and an amateur electronic music producer (I'd like to think!).
I have been looking for some $200 studio headphones, like AKG K-712 PRO or Sennheiser HD 380 PRO, to connect directly to my gadgets (like korg volca keys or kaossilator) or to my Laptop running Ableton Live, through a Behringer QX1002USB audio interface.
 
My wife just offered me the $300 Bose QC-25, which seem great regarding overall music listening, and have great Noise Cancelling for listening in the bus, train, plain, crowded places, whatever, but that is not really important to me. I am wondering if they are any good for [home] studio production.
 
My question is: should I keep the Bose QC-25 for my home studio activities as well, or should I return them and buy something more studio directed, like the AKG K-712 PRO or Sennheiser HD 380 PRO, or other?
 
Thank you for your help!

In my opinion you can find something more suitable to your needs for $300.

Thanks for your input!
 
After reading a while on these forums, I decided to return them and ordered a pair of Sennheiser HD 380 PRO.
I'll post my opinion on those when they arrive
