Good Production Headphones?

Post by konig16 » Mon Apr 04, 2011 11:15 pm

I'm new here but I have been producing music (mainly Dubstep) in FL studio for a few months now. I have been using a really cheap set of Sony mdr-v150 Headphones which are just not cutting it. I really want to get my music more professional sounding even tho I still have tons to learn. I would love to buy a set of monitors but with my current living situation that's just not an option. What kind of headphones do you guys recommend?

Comfort, accuracy, non fatiguing AKG K240. :W:

Though marginally lacking in LF extension IMO.

I use AKG K710 with Apogee One as DAC.

And I would like to point out that any pro headphones need a good DAC. Else you want get much out of them.

I know haha I love my headphones, was just kidding

I've been through 3 pairs already, I think? maybe it's only 2 but I've had to resolder them like a million times. I basically break everything I touch. last week I broke my htc evo, today I broke my 240's again because I'm an idiot. luckily my step-bro had the same headphones, basically brand new and sold them to me for $60. You would think because I'm irish I would have good luck, NOPE!

yea they do, but the actual solder came off from the speaker... several times haha
but this time the wire like snapped off and disappeared into the cast plastic, and I'm tired of repairing them and this time it looks like it would be a bitch to fix it you know

but the only reason I had so much trouble with them is because they fell off my desk one time and the little plastic cap that kinda holds everything together cracked... and I melted it back together so it would still work LOL

yea and anyone who is considering buying them, I do recommend them. The only reason mine break, is because I break everything ya know?
