Got myself some of these, £70ish.

AKG K240S

I don't think the HD-25s are meant to be all that for producing...wicked DJing phones though.

yeah i should get round to replacing these when i have some money:
(no i didnt choose them they came with the decks 2nd hand!)

are the HD25s the one to go for then? sound quality for producing would be the priority, although if they werent too delicate to use for mixing aswell that would be a bonus

doesn't really matter what you use so long as you know the headphones inside out, ie. if your aware of the strengths and weakness's and accomodate for that when sequencing you should get the mix sounding close to what you want. wouldn't reccomend mixing down on headphones though, dodgy bizness imo.

It's not gonna matter... anything with a good response really. look at the package there should be a reponse curve, try to abstain from the ones that have more of a curve than a flat repsonse. But look how many professional engineers use old school ns10's, they sound like shit... but when you're used to them and you familiar with how they repsond then you're good to go.

all about what you get the best reference for yourself off of
try to find something that sounds similar to your monitors and compare em say one earphone on while speakers playing

another vote for the AKGs...they work well for me and are very comfortable.
