[QUOTE="Alexander Lane, post: 212022, member: 11430"] Unfortunately there is no in-between when it comes to headphones for mixing and personal listening. For good mix headphones you should look at open back type (Sennheiser HD 650 are pretty much the benchmark for studio use). The trouble with open back headphones on the bus is everyone can hear what you listen to... I have a pair of HD 380 pro's and they are great for tracking and between OK and good for mixing, but they do take a LOT of getting used to. Once you know the sound characteristics of the phones then you will start getting good mixes with them... If you want good mixing sound quality, avoid Bluetooth or noise cancellation. And on the other side of the fence, it's your ears and there are no right or wrong answers, everything is opinion and everything is subjective. Buy whatever suits your ears and life the most, but make an informed decision. :) [/QUOTE]
