good evening all,
I've been sifting through the forums for 2 weeks and decided it's about time to ask some questions.
I'm an electronic music producer, mostly technical and experimental stuff and need a good pair of monitoring headphones. My studio monitors do an excellent job - but aren't neighbour friendly in the wee hours of the night. I'm new to some of the terminology so please correct me, but i need a very neutral and accurate set of cans - maybe a touch on the analytical side.
I would also like to be able to push the low end of these headphones for non-production use - as my listening and production preferences differ considerably.
I'm on the fence in terms of whether i want them to open or closed, or somewhere in between. Isolation would be nice, but not at the expense of sound.
And finally durability is also a factor - I am quite gentle with my equipment but wouldnt mind something sturdy.
some the phones I am considering are:
Sennheiser HD580
Sennheiser HD595
Sennheiser HD600
Beyer Dynamic DT880
If you guys have any other suggestions or just feel like correcting me please speak up!
Richard
