Having been particularly disappointed recently by the thin sound of the Sennheiser HD280's and Etymotic ER4P's I feel that there is a tendancy for people to get so carried away with the sound of a headphone that they lose sight of what it is actually like to stand in front of an orchestra! I was wondering how many of you can honestly say that if you were to listen to a live band and then monitor the same thing through cans that the sound would be the same? Which cans are actually the closest to the real thing I wonder?
At Abbey Road (studio 1) you can walk from the Live Room into the Control Room and the sound through the monitors is very faithful to the source. There is little or no difference. Is this possible with cans? Most of us can't afford $11,000 for the absolute best, so what about for the mere mortal?
