Hi all. New here, this is my 1st post.
I need recommendations for closed-ear headphones for Classical Music (mainly grand piano and choral) for recording and mixing.
It would be nice to have something that I can wear for a while, without too much fatigue. I assume they need to be flat so I can get a good mix.
My budget doesn't allow for high-end. I'm looking at between $100-$200, wanting to keep below $150. noise cancelling and that sort of thing is not needed. I would like a detachable cable, though--but not a necessity.
I was thinking about the ATH M50x but read that it boosts the bass, plus the soundstage is too small for Classical.
That left me thinking about the ATH M40. Price is right, reviews say they are flat, soundstage small, though.
The makers I was thinking of are ATH, Sennheiser, Sony, Beyer.
What do you think?
Choices?
With recording grand piano, then mixing (eq) it is essential that I get a true picture of what's going on.
I wish there are headphones to use for both mixing/monitoring as well as normal listening but I do not know of any.
So, I ask for your help.
Thank you.
