dominicgross Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 Hey, I'm looking for a pair of good headphones for studio monitoring. I will be using them mainly on the production work stations so closed-back is essential. I want to stay away from DT100's as they sound, well, 'not great' for production work (and the bass response is silly). advice please gents?

PeterT Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 I have had a pair of Sennheiser HD25's for about 10 years now and they are the best thing I have ever used. I'm only now, after all this time, having to change the ear pads for them. They're closed headphones so they pretty much isolate you from the outside world when they're on and all of the bits are available as spares. Here's a link to them: Sennheiser HD 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gareth Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 I'll second the recommendation for Sennheiser cans - I've had a pair for many years (open-back type), they sound fantastic and they're still going strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 I can recommend the Sony MDR-7506. They are the most comfortable cans I have tried, as they sit round your ears instead of on them. Isolation is good, not quite as good as the DT-100's, but close. They have a good even frequency response and you can wear them for long periods without fatigue. Also they have a low enough impedance for most portable cd players to be able drive them to a resonable level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleeting Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 Greeings, I'd go for the Sony MDR-7509's for monitoring. I find that Sennheisers are a little bass heavy. The Sony's are quiet flat from end to end. Open head phones are best if you are just listening and not trying to sing at the same time. Beyer Dt100 make your ears sweat..
