Can't go wrong with Sony MDR7506. I also like the Sennheiser HD280. The Sonys have a bit of a smiley face EQ. The Sennheisers are a bit flatter and have more isolation.

They're a bit exaggerated in the upper mids, but i've yet to hear a perfect set of headphones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I forgot to add is that the 7506s are way smaller and thus more portable. The HD280s are fairly large and bulky. It may not matter to you, but I meant to add it earlier.

Members Turd Furgison Posted April 22, 2008 Members Share Posted April 22, 2008 i vote you stay away from the sony's, i have a pair and they are great for monitoring/mixing/ect. but plugged right into an amp they sound like poo. I just use cheap pair of old headphones i had lying around that sound much better. i think (my own un-scientific reasoning) is that most higher end headphones are supposed to cover all these "frequencies" that speakers tend to round off a bit and make more musical. cheap headphones don't really do a great job at getting everything to sound good so they kinda round things off in their own way. my suggestion buy a 1/8" to 1/4" adapter and borrow cheap headphones from everyone you know until you find the pair that sounds least bad.

Members TomCTC Posted April 22, 2008 Members Share Posted April 22, 2008 I use the Sennheiser HD202s. They work just fine for what I need, $20 phones that have lasted me over a year so far. I swear to god no matter what I do, I cannot tangle that cord that comes with it. It's incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
