Studio Headphones |
My Headphones fell apart yesterday, only a cheap pair, but served their purpose.
I've looked on the net, there are so many to choose from, I just want a cheap pair that has the frequency response for mixing, as I do the final mix on Logitec PC speakers.
So do I just buy the cheapest closed back headphones, or is it worth spending say £100.00 and get the industry standard Beyer Dynamic DT100 or similar?

These were recommended by a Music shop as a cheap alternative:

any of the ones listed above,, Sony makes a very good pair for around 50 to 60 U.S. $$$ All the cheaper ones tend to "Fuzz Out" on the low end.. Won't bother you any cause you're not doing your mix in them.

Cheers Goat, I've ordered a cheap set today
I used the behringers because of the extended low end clarity. I also use other sets too including a real cheap Roland set.

you don't need it , part of mixing is understanding your listening environment. If you become an expert with what you have.. it doesn't matter if it's PC speakers or Adams, or mackie or whatever. if you understand you room and speakers you will make great mixes.. I've heard your stuff, very nicely done and well mixed
