Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro
A great choice if you need a good pair of closed-back headphones for mixing and mastering. The Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro comes in three different impedances. Which impedance you will choose (30, 80, and 250 ohms) greatly depends on whether you are going to use them for monitoring or you plan to use them while you travel.
After all, all three models will sound great and will handle all your mixing and mastering activities. They are very comfortable at the same time thanks to the ear pads they have.
Audio Technica ATH-M50X
This model is probably the best selling product lately mainly because of the clear sound in the mids and highs. The bass is another thing worth mentioning here, but let’s just say – it’s accurate and deep. Some of the features that made this product sell so much and made it popular amongst DJ’s is the 90-degree swiveling ear cup design. There are also three detachable cables.
What we like about this product is a great, well-balanced sound. The design is very good and the possibility to replace the cups and cables simply adds to its value. And last but not least, they are closed-back headphones which makes them great for tracking, DJ-ing, and recording.
Sennheiser HD 650
Unlike the previous two, the Sennheiser HD 650 are high-end open-back headphones. Although the price may be too much for some people, you actually get what you pay for. The titanium-sliver finish ensures a well-balanced sound specially designed for high-resolution monitoring. mixing and mastering engineers and audiophiles love this model.
One thing to keep in mind is that others can hear what you are listening to at the moment because these are open-back. On the other side, we can say that these are the most comfortable headphones for studio monitoring. We especially love the smooth bass and clear mids and highs. On the other hand, we don’t recommend them for recording sessions.
Grado SRE80 Prestige
Although these headphones are not as popular as some of the brands mentioned above we are speaking about a great pair of headphones which will definitely last for a longer period of time thanks to its design and build. Another good thing is the price which can put these headphones in the affordable category. They are quite comfortable at the same time so you won’t have problems during the long mixing sessions. As for the sound, we can say that you get a flat response with a pinch of brightness. This provides a natural listening experience.
When we talk about the design, there are people who love it and those who hate it. There is no one in between. If you are planning to use them for sound editing these are the ones for you.
