Not Electronic Piano Advice....Exactly

[SuperCoolManchu]

Hey There Sports Fans!

 

After going through the AGONIZING process of settling upon an electronic piano (the Kawai MP9300 in case anyone cares), I now have to get a replacement set of headphones to practice with.

 

Since I seem to remember folks saying that part of getting the maximal experience out of the keyboard you use had to do with the monitors/speakers/headphones you use, I'm now sweating that decision...but without the energy to spend hours searching for embedded comments.

 

Can someone please throw out a good recommendation for quality headphones that will not make my piano sound worse than it is and not make my head ache before I am ready to stop practicing?

 

My budget limit is about $150. I remember hearing someone mention the name Sennheiser, and a local store is offering the HD-280 for $99. (HD-212 is $49, 202 is $29). My old ones are Sony Professional MDR-7506s that some music store guy threw in with my 10 year old Korg. They are thrashed. Please help.

 

Oh and PS to rintincop: I am still planning to take your advice and get the Quik-lok stand you recommended for the P250, unless you think it won't work for the Kawai. Please let me know if that is not advised. Thnx.

I like the lighter sony ones- not the dj ones but the studio ones. they sound good. feel good for extended periods of time. in your price range for sure.

1. QuikLok roks!

Good stands, they last - I've got 2 QLoks that I've gigged with steadily for about 18 yrs. or so.

 

2. Headphones

I have the SONY MDR-7502's - love 'em. Lightweight, feel good, sound good - can't go wrong.
