Different tools for different purposes... Good headphones can let you more clearly hear minute details like the endings of reverb tails, everything that happens in the sub region, but headphones are inherently dual mono audio so they'll struggle in the stereo field and they can't really let you feel

I strongly suggest you to go to a place where you can try some headphones. Bring your reference tracks, get some of the recommended headphones and listen. Take your own conclusions. Headphones are quite personal in terms of what you’ll feel comfortable working with, beyond the sound there’s the weig

I have the 250 ohm version. I use them for tracking and spot checking, but I'd never even consider mixing with them -- I use audeze MM-500 for that. Yes, the low end is a bit unreliable if you were to mix with them.

Llevo unas semanas con unos Audeze MM-500, la mejor compra de mi vida. Venía de unos Beyerdynamics y al diferencia es abrumadora. También decir que los Audeze cuestan el triple. Pero es lo más parecido a escuchar con monitores que he escuchado nunca. Es mi recomendación.

I enjoy the discussion! But honestly, the headphone upgrade is mostly about fun and comfort, not miracles in your mix. Artifacts from calibration are real but you can learn to hear past them... Or choose not to use it at all like Scheps did. You don’t need expensive headphones. Hits have been mixed

I saw this comment recently saying "[the Audeze] MM-500 is the closest thing I heard to some ATC speakers if you ever had the chance to work on them, the transients representation is top notch" and ever since then they've been on my list I just don't need 10k speakers in my apartment lmao lol it's a

HD800 is a vastly different headphone from HD600. It also won’t fix your problem with bass extension as HD800 bass is also its biggest weakness. What you will get from HD800 is an extremely wide presentation with much brighter treble. It will make everything sound wide, even when u might not want it

The LCD-5 are very expensive, but compared to my room they cost nothing. Still you can pick up headphones like the Audeze MM500, Audeze LCD-X, Hifiman Arya, and many more which retail much cheaper :)

no headphones are as good as high quality speakers My Audeze MM500's beg to differ. They're better than my $25k monitors.
