Hi There,
I create music and also am really into my mixing and mastering and do it for other artists as well. Obviously I do my main mixing through speakers but I really like to compare and check back to headphones as well. I use an Apogee Duet 2 as my audio interface and am currently using B&W P5s which are very nice (generally) but in terms of clarity when volume is turned up through the Duet they can distort ever so slightly so I am wanting to use these just for iPod and mobile use (what they are designed for).
Anyway, enough of my life story. I was wondering what peoples experiences and opinions are on which monitor headphones are best to use between Open & Closed back designs.
Sound leakage is not an issue for me but I read about the apparent low end differences (open having less & closed having more). I am basically looking for the flattest most realistic to life sounding headphones. I create all different genres so want every frequency range to be handled as equally and as clearly as possible.
So any opinions & personal experiences that you may have please post as I really want to do my research before spending out a lot of money!!
Thanks very much in advance.
