Headphones for producing
I want to be able to make tunes wherever I am with my macbook. What headphones should I look at getting? Any suggestions?
i love my sony mdr-v600 headphones. love em.
they're good for recording, too, because they don't have a lot of bleed.

Not at all.. Those cans are classics. Very good.microlive wrote:I'll probably get a lot of flak, but i'm still using my old Sennheiser HD-25's... Had them for years & years... and i guess my ears are accustomed to them now, so i'm a little hesitant of making a switch. If it works, don't try to fix it.
I've been through quite a few pairs, and one thing that nobody thinks about is COMFORT. I've had some that were terrible.
I'd recommend some Senn HD280Pro headphones. Very flat freq response, super comfortable, inexpensive + reliable.

I've got a pair of tri-ports. No offence, but I find it hard to take some seriously who recommends Bose headphones. They may be comfortable, but they are flimsy (both sides have broken already due to cheap plastic), have over-emphasized bass, and have severe clarity issues. I want something that's NOT like the tri-ports - whenever I have made something that sounded ok in them, it nearly always sounds terrible and flat through any other speakers/headphones.

I use those too. Pretty good isolation, the (coiled) cord is not too long which is perfect cause I'm sitting right in front of my lappy. Someone mentioned on another thread that they are the same as a formerly acclaimed model. They were cheap too $99.astroid wrote:i love my sony mdr-v600 headphones. love em.

Ya know what would make a huge quality difference with any headphones, especially ones that produce big loads, is a headphone power amp.
It's the sucky little amps in laptops and external cd burners that take away the quality a whole bunch. I also find the mackie mixers have good amps too.
DYI and inexpensive

All the way-They are good
