Hi, I am looking at buying some headphones purely for mixing at home. I have been searching the forums constantly trying to find an answer, but haven't been able to make a definitive decision on a pair.
I know it's all personal preference, but I just wanted to see what the most recommended is. Unfortunately I have been unable to find a place to audition these headphones and most online retailers don't allow returns due to hygiene reasons.
I don't have a strict budget but I'd like to keep under the £200 as they are for home studio use only.
So far my list stands at:
ATH M50 - £120
KRK KNS8400 - £129
Beyerdynamic DT880 pro 250ohm - £185
Shure - SRH940 - £179
Not sure if the DT880's or the Shure's are worth the extra???
I don't mind open or closed back and I mostly record guitar based music.
All replies & suggestions much appreciated.
