i'm pretty sold on Fostex T-40's for the studio musicians, but what about phones for mixing?? i bounce back and fourth alot between my 'ok' Sennheiser's and my monitors, but my phones are starting to crap out on me (gotta wiggle the wires to get them workin' sometimes)....i'm not too concerned with sound leaking out, i just want "accuracy" or as close to it as i can get. are there any cans that are known for this?

May 06, 2005 11:12 am Love my Sony's. $99.00 at Circuit City as I recall.
May 06, 2005 03:57 pm I like my Sennheisers alot (HD 212 Pro), but the best pair of headphones I ever had for mixing was a cheap pair of radio shack headphones they don't even make any more. I had a very expensive pair of Koss headphones back in the 80's that were great for lisening to music but sucked for mixing.
I think alot of the expensive ones tend to exaggerate various frequencys and the stereo field, where as the cheaper ones sound crappy, so if you get something sounding decent in them the mix sounds great on everything else, that's my theory any how. LOL

May 06, 2005 07:34 pm i went to fye music and bought a pair of coby pro srudio headphones, and to me, there awesome...bass exxagerates alittle, but everything else is nice!
May 07, 2005 12:46 am Sony MDR V900.....WoW! Flat, full, da-bomb~
May 07, 2005 01:03 am I love my AKG K 240 Moniters, I have 2 pair. Also like the Sony's (not the same as Walts) as well, but they are a bit louder and not as flat as my AKG's.
May 07, 2005 11:41 am hmmm so i need to audition some Sony's MDR V900's against AKG K 240's....i'm pretty accustomed to listening on 'flat' systems now and 'non-flatness' is a big turn off to me now...i'm always tuning the bass down on friends home and car systems, i get the same "but i like the rumble" reply EVERY DOGDAMN TIME!!! ughhhh even my paraents tv has a stupid sub-woofer!
