Ok folks, I'm just trying to narrow down what I'm going to try to buy.
I need a pretty accurate can for accuracy work for working out mixes.
I have a set Tannoy Ellipse 8 speakers but can't use these all the time because of loudness issues. So, what I want to get is something I can use that translates well to my monitors when I go to mix down on the Tannoy's.
So far, my list includes the following...
Senn HD600 or 650
K701
Ultrasones
Grado 325i
I'm also considering some IEMs but I'm really not sure about these for this kind of purpose. I do realise btw that doing mixes on headphones isn't a great idea, but in this case, needs must.
I have been looking at maybe the
Shure e500 or the e530
UM 2 Westone
and maybe something from Ultimate Ears, though I don't know what.
So, obviously there can be a big gap in terms of prices for these cans.
What I want to know is for the money, which of these offer the best value?
What are probably best fpr the job I intend?
Any advice would be geat team...
