Headphones

[MassProduktionz]

I'm gonna do some recording using a headphone amp (since I don't have a booth) but my headphones are horrible. Anyone have suggestions for headphones - I was thinking of getting AKG's K 240 studio headphones.

i'm on sony mdr-v700 headphones... the headphone amp is great

i just bought Sennheiser HD25s

they are kinda industry standard and are used by both musicians and cameramen etc.

they are light as fuck
comfortable as fuck
and go loud as fuck

parts are replacable aswell

they may be out of your price range though im not sure.

I've got the Sony mdr-v700's. I use for both dj'ing and monitoring.

They're nice, but they wear my ears out big time once you've been wearing for more than 30mins.

If i had the money i'd keep the sony's for dj'ing and buy some senheisers for producing

Looks like the Sennheiser is the way to go. I'm gonna check em out. Good looking on all the suggestions.

By the way, about how much do they run for?

Unless your mixing, you don't need none of those.

They might not have it at yours but go to your local Staples. Get the Maxell HS-200's. There worth the $20 you pay for them.

SENNHEISER CORDLESS T40 HAS A 50 YD RANGE SO I CAN GO DOWNSTAIR AND COOK WHILE MY BEAT IS PLAYING IN THE LAB... REAL CONVENIENT PLUS NO CORDS TO TRIP OVER... COST A PRETTY PENNY SO BE WARNED.

yo MIKELABZ,

I never had the T40's but ive used cordless headphones before and all you get is interference when a cellphone goes off or somebodies usin a cb radio.

just lettin you know the cons of cordless.

what ever headphone you get make sure they have a closed back or you may have a problem with leakage into your mic.
