I have DAW at my home and I am doing electronic music for several years now. The music is about non commercial electronica, something like Aphex Twin, Autechre and generaly, Warp label kind of music. I am working in low noise appartment.
So, I need to find headphones in the price range of 130$-200$ that will be used for composition, monitoring and to less extent vocal recording.
Currently, I have best opinion for AKG K 271 but I have doubts toward AKG K 240M since, according to the press, they dont colorize the sound to big extent. I generaly use a lot of spatial effects in my music so I dont know if AKG 271 is the right choice since they are closed-back. The good thing is they are light (240g) which is important since I do my music a lot, and that I can record vocals without noise (I have no ventilators on my computer), and of course replacable cable since I already did some bad things to my other headphones.
I also found Beyer Dynamic DT-990 Pro to be my next candidate.
I appriciate every help you can give me. Of course, I expect to hear other propositions if you have them.
I will use them with high quality sound card like EMU 1820 or Lynx 2 and my plan is to buy active monitors in the near future (in the price range of 500-800 Euros). I dont have headphones amp and I will probably plug them in audio card audio interface.
Thanks
