Good headphones?

Hey guys, long time lurker, first time poster.

I wanted to buy some decent headphones. but I'm not too sure which ones to get, nothing with over-the-top ridiculous bass that'll inflate my head. a nice balance.

I would probably be willing to spend £100 max, any thoughts from you connoisseurs would be greatly appreciated!

Do you want these purely for production, or are you intending to DJ with them as well?

Stretch to £125 and get Senheisser HD-25s, literally the best headphones I have ever had. They hare very flat and have excellent bass response. I use them for DJing and for the occaisional midnight production sesh when I don't want to blow my neighbors away!

I use the Senheisser HD-25 for DJing but not keen on them for production.

I prefer using these headphones - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ultimate-Ears-T ... _sv_edpp_i

Its always nice to try out different set ups.

Got some Ultrasone HFI-450 cans a while back, am very happy with them apart from the 2m lead.

Do any of you suggest against using ONLY headphones to produce a track, or is this a no no. My most recent track appeared to be off according to multiple sources of feedback, but in my headphones it sounded fine. When i play it on my computer speakers, its alot quieter without the sub but i was wondering if you all would suggest buying some monitors?

I always reference my mix on my cans but always mixdown on the monitors. They are far more accurate with the sound I find. IMO you really NEED a half decent set of monitors to produce a nicely finished track.

^^^^haha well that explains alot!

Need a few paychecks first, but im going to make my next purchase some good monitors. Not only do i need them for producing, but i haven't been able to mix on my turntables in a longggg long time.

Hate to throw this off topic, but what monitors are you using? any features you know of that are a must when it comes to some monitors? And whats a good price and freq range i should be looking into? I appreciate the help, Sparx!

I use ATH-M50's for production, ive used them once for mixing(i loved them, but my speakers broke right after

. I can tell you these are legit for sure, i listen to my music and i can hear things ive never noticed before on other speakers. Now these are my first pair so i can't set them head to head with other brands, but for the price they are definitly worth it. Reviews seem to be great too!

They run around $150. Sorry i don't know how to convert to euros but im sure if you just search them you could find out how much they are in a sec!
