What headphones do you think bring out the best sound includings lows, mids, and highs? I had the Sony MDR 7505 headphones, but when I let someone record, they broke the speaker so now I need new ones. The 7505 were pretty good, but low ends didnt come out as well as I was hoping.

May 07, 2004 09:10 am Ya, I've got a couple sets of Sony's and I love them. I wish I could remember the model numbers, but I am at work....sorry. I think one set is the 7505 and they are a little light in the bass catagory. The other set I have is sported as a DJ set and have 40mm drivers. They do real nice in the bass department and still very accurate throughout the entire frequency range.

May 07, 2004 01:35 pm What specifications should I be looking into for studio monitor headphones? Which ones are the most accurate? Should they be closed or open? What would you consider to be the industry standard?
May 07, 2004 01:40 pm I have a $70 set of Sonys that I love, but they are very old model "Digital Monitor" they are called. But then, I also have a set of $20 Radio Shack cans that, for some reason, are really kick butt.
My best advice is to go try a few on listening to music you know well and see what sounds best to you.

May 08, 2004 08:28 pm yea, i've heard a few good reviews about the audio technica at-m40fs. They even had a 9.1/10 review at zzounds.com. I need to find a local store that carries them so I can demo them.
