New Head-Fier
Hi everyone, I've been reading here since a time but I didn't find any useful information about this topic.
I know, mixing and mastering on headphones is bad and one should definetively use monitors... but sometimes, for convenience, headphones can be a really useful tool.
In partiular I was asking myself (for imminent purchase's sake) what's the best headphone, to date, around the $170 pricetag and below.
My researches brought me up to Sony MDR-7506, Audio Technica ATH-m40x (rather than m50x for a flatter responce) and Beyerdynamic DT-770 Pro as some of the best ones around.
Each one of these have advantage points as drawbacks and information out there is really confusing, expecially when it comes to music production topic.
I know no headphone can replace some nearfields accuracy, but which ones (either out of the list) would you suggest to admirably get the job done?
Thank you very much in advance for any help!
Edit: I actually forgot mentioning I'm seeking any advice, despite the aforementioned headphones.
I know open backs should kind of better simulate what a pair of speakers would hear like.
Right about this I found some headphones (as AKG K-701 or K-712) which seems to be good for this job.
Any suggestion, thought or piece of information would be greatly welcome!
