halljams Posted January 18, 2002 Share Posted January 18, 2002 I need a couple pair of mid range quality. The must be good at concealing things like clicks close to mics. Any real favs or suggestions. Check out SUPERVIBE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda like the AKG K55's I have. There are lots of them out there that are better but for a very reasonable price the K55's work well. You will still want to use monitors.

trick fall Posted January 18, 2002 Share Posted January 18, 2002 My Beyerdynamic DT-100's are may favorite recording purchase I've ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Berolzheimer Posted January 18, 2002 Share Posted January 18, 2002 I have the Beyer DT-770, they have the best isolation of anything I've tried, and they sound quite good & are comfy. I even use them as hearing protection when I'm practising drumset. Paul Berolzheimer Progenitor of 2 amazing sound sources Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mats Olsson. Posted January 18, 2002 Share Posted January 18, 2002 Headphones I use often: Beyer DT 150 (My #1 favorite for tracking, updatet version of DT100). Sony 7506 (Not bad at all, foldable - great for field work also). Expensive to repair. AKG 240 (needs a powerful amp to drive them, comfy, open back type, smoooooth, great for QC-listening). High on my list of things to purchase: A pair of Sennheiser 600's /Mats http://www.lexam.net/peter/carnut/man.gif What do we want? Procrastination! When do we want it? Later!

saucyjack Posted January 18, 2002 Share Posted January 18, 2002 I've been using the Sonys and think they are good for all around use, but since I often track and monitor in the same room I'm curious about the Beyers ..do they offer a lot more isolation and still sound good ?

trick fall Posted January 19, 2002 Share Posted January 19, 2002 The DT100's have excellent isolation. While the sound is probably far from clinically correct I love it. I also love the detachable cord, I've had too many pair of headphones go down just because the cord got cut or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halljams Posted January 19, 2002 Author Share Posted January 19, 2002 Right on! Thanks everyone. I'll look into the ones mentioned. [quote]Originally posted by daklander: [b] UP THERE? WEAR EARMUFFS! [/b][/quote] Well you see this is the thing, i'm not really looking for good isolation, but how else was i supposed to say i'm looking for warmth in a set of studio headphones. You're soo on to me! ;) Check out SUPERVIBE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R. Posted January 19, 2002 Share Posted January 19, 2002 AKG 240. Comfortable for long listenings, good sound. Covers the ear-holes. That's my vote. -David R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rheolwr Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 As an alternative DT250. Not as Bulletproof as DT100 or DT150 but a much more natural sound It's not a successful climb unless you enjoy the journey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halljams Posted February 6, 2002 Author Share Posted February 6, 2002 Do those who suggested the beyerdynamic phones know where i can get an online price for them. I looked for a couple hours and only found outlets in the UK. Check out SUPERVIBE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trick fall Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 I got mine through B&H I think the url is [url=http://www.bhphotovideo.com]www.bhphotovideo.com[/url] Took about two weeks to get them. I think they're a special order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saucyjack Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 Seems like I've read some decent reviews on a new Sennheiser pair (maybe 280s)that sound good and have good isolation. Anyone heard um'? Rivers Smell the Magic www.Katp.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
