Hello everyone... 
 
I'm new here and I have a question.  I work on projects in a home studio and have never really used headphones for mastering, just monitors.  I use JBL8330 for studio monitors.  They usually reproduce every bad sound that needs fixed.  I'm trying to find some headphones to do the same thing.  I'm on a real tight budget right now of about $200 (the lesser the better).  I'm looking for a temporary set of headphones that will do the magic if they exist for under $200.  I'd like to start using headphones with the mix and mastering as well.  What should I get?  I've heard so many from sony, to shure, to akg, to whatever lol.  I am not a huge fan on name brands because of "popularity", I just want phones that deliver the goods like they should.  I've researched this site and there's so much info, but an investment like that I would like some opinions on overall good phones for the whole process from recording to mixing to mastering.
 
Thanks!

For under $200, get the FA-003 or a rebranded version of the FA-003.
