Im looking for a pair of monitoring phones for home studio use.
I've been recommended both Beyerdynamic dt 150s and dt 990 pros, but it seems from scanning the web that Sony also make good monitoring phones.
Essentially I want something that sounds as neutral/flat as possible across the whole audio spectrum.
Ill be making ambient techno /dance music with them.
They dont have to be built like a tank and they dont have to be closed back as I will primarily be using them at home.
They will be plugged straight into a mackie mixer, so ideally they wont need a pre amp.
My budget is about $250.
Any recommendations with reasoning would be very much appreciated
many thanks
OK managed to find other related posts and want to just ask
for monitoring would the 770s or 990s be more suitable. It seems that a number of you prefer the bass on the 770s - i guess because of its bass reflex design. Would you say this makes them More suitable for getting a mix right or less suitable.
Although I want these for monitoring, a closed unit is not important, in fact I would prefer the better soundstaging of an open design.
thanks again
