Yes, we've seen countless headphones named with "Studio" or "Professional" or "Monitoring". Any of those posh words to describe quite priced headphones
But how many of you really use those "studio/professional/monitoring" cans for ... (guess what) studio/professional/monitoring?
I'm a hi fi enthusiast and I do not own a recording studio. I'm not an engineer but I do have pretty good ears. So my headphones use is 100% home listening. Nothing to do with monitoring or whatever other use in professional studios
Moreover, as far I know, engineers barely use headphones. They mostly use studio monitors (those small speakers, you know).
Yes, musicians use headphones but I don't think the majority of them do.
I dare to say not even 50% of those "studio/professional/monitoring" headphones are actually used in studios!
So where those names come from? Don't know
Anyway. Too much talking (typing, of course)
Now this thread is yours!
