no other options for the top stuff really. i went akg personally, they have a really full stereo image and the stuff i make on them translates to monitors (ns10, hr824) really well.

I use them for live venue mixes for large bands and they're perfect

Did, for some time. Klein and Hummel O300s here

Cans are still useful though.

Standard answer:

Try them out thoroughly and buy the ones you like the best.
