Badtz, the AKG K270S is f@cking crappy for the very high price that you would be paying for it. Honky, tinny, midrangeless - and whatever little bass there is on those headphones, it's mushy and lifeless.

 

[badtz]

Okay, I think I'm doing better

I "think" i've narrowed it down to:

Beyer 250-250, 250-80
Sennheiser 280 pro, 770 pro, 990
Sony V6

 

[badtz]

maybe the sony 7506 onto that list also?

should i be looking for a near flat response headphone for studio purposes?

One of the reasons you're not getting a lot of responses in this thread is that there is another very similar thread going on. I can't find it right now, but you might want to look for "Mike Walker" as a poster, as I know he has been active in it.

Badtz,
Forget everything except the Sony V6, (identical to the 7506) the Beyer DT250/80, and the Sennheiser 280.

Anything else on your list requires an amplifier.

 

[badtz]

i wouldn't mind getting an amp, if the sound is more accurate/better.

 

[Atomicarnage]

Well good luck figuring that one out, now you have a bunch of new decisions to make.

 

[badtz]

yeah i know! tell me about it

 

[badtz]

just so some know, i think i've narrowed it down to the sony v6/7506..........

 

[a1leyez0nm3]

i just got the HD280 pro and I use the V6 for monitoring. the hd280 is better, and they are about the same pice, figuring if you buy the beyer pads. I would go with the 280

 

[badtz]

i was looking into the 280's also......

Errr..... choices choices......

Hi Badtz

Don't forget the HD 580/600! I use the 600 as a monitor for MIDI and sound editing, and they do their job excellently. I can't imagine any better headphones for monitoring in a quiet environment. The Senns are very neutral, have a fine resolution and are comfortable to wear.

Don't get open cans for studio monitoring, you'll regret it, they hide details far too often!

If headroom sells the Sennheiser 280's, give em a shot, if you dont like them you can return them within 30 days, what do you have to lose?

gloco...

...I can't imagine any reason why open cans should hide the details – more than closed ones? – in a really quiet environment as described by Badtz. Of course not around the musicians, but with mixing and editing...

It really works very well in my case!

The problem with the sennheiser recommendation is that they are more of the laid back/dark nature, so they will hide sound artifacts. He's better off with the 280's, v6's or the 250/80's.

To be quite honest, you may be missing out on some things if your using that combo, its good for listening to music, but not really for critical hearing. The Sennheiser recommendation was shot down previously anyway by other headfiers.
