MikeDennis Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I use these at home to make music with. They are a joy. Whenever I've taken them in for mixing (not often), they've been equally joyous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyP1955 Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Extreme Headphones EX29. Great isolation, a little soft on the highs. May not be available in the UK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s86scott Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 Just a little update on this thread... Found out my DT770 headphones have broke a little bit, and one ear is distorting occasionally.So they might be ok if I get them fixed. In the meantime, I bought some DT150's, no better on isolation or level, and slightly less comfortable IMO! The search continues, thanks for all the suggestions.

Dan Gruner Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 +1 for the DT150's. I have several pairs here (including ones with the boom mic attachment) and find them excellent for all kinds of work :) Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Lake Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I've got a set of Denon AHD2000's I use regularly on monitors and front of house, I've never had volume problems and they give a pretty honest response. The Dave Rat headphone quest is also well worth a watch! I used to use a set of Beyer dt100's but again the volume wasn't the best, the response was great. I did however have the 400ohm versions, more appropriate for studio use, I think they do a set at 16ohms will obvious give you a great deal more volume to play with.(By my rough calculation around 26-28db higher with the same pre amp settings.) Here may be an idea:Take your headphones to a shop (where they sell the brands your looking at obviously) with an ipod/cd/laptop, and you can compare with the same output volume how loud the headphones are, if you've had your headphones for a while you may want to find a set with similar frequency characteristics, as your probably used to what they sound like, and thus you will mix with the sound of your headphones in mind. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_korman Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I like my Beyer DT250's - good sound quality, comfortable and good isolation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whisky-zulu Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Have recently moved from the Denons over to Sennheiser HD558s and I'm absolutely loving them - some good isolation, crystal clear tonality and a good frequecy response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbsy Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 As this thread has re-surfaced... I love the sound of the HD 25s (in fact they're my headphones of choice for personal listening at home) but, on my ears at least, the cups are a bit too small to give me good isolation in a live situation. It might be something to try before laying out your cash--since ear sizes can vary a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
