Can anybody recommend a good pair of flat frequency response headphones for mixing?

I'm looking to spend around £100 to £150 on some new headphones as my old Sony's have packed up.
Was going to go for some Sennheiser 280 HD Pro's, but if anybody could recommend anything, that would be great.

Which Sony's did you have? I've had the MDR-7506 for a long time and they're great. Sennheiser is great too, but for specific models I don't know.

My Sony's were nothing special at all, they were a present from one of my exes, my old long dead MDR-84's pissed all over them and my old MDR-84's cost me about £30 back when I was in college.


EDIT: Just looked up the MDR 7506, they are in the same ballpark as the Sennheisers

There's so many models out there, your best bet is to check reviews. The 7506's I bought in '98 and they lasted me for 20 years! I just got a new pair last year. Many times I've noticed that model in videos of someone in a recording studio so I guess they're an industry standard. Are you getting them online or in store?

Those 7506's are workhorses, they last forever.

Yo man wassup!!

My cheap Sonys lasted me nearly 20yrs.

Think Im going to go with the 7510's, they seem to have a better rating, a bit more expensive, but worth it I think.

You had to be different eh? I guess they're the updated version?

Yeah, updated, better freq response, not that my old ears can hear upto 40khz, but they go down to 4 hz, like 4 hz can be heard either hahahaha. Slap bang in the price range I was going for. But yeah, they are sonically better than the 7506. Or so what Ive seen so far says.
