Which headphones should I buy?

Do not get wireless headphones. You cannot properly sync audio and video with wireless headphones. Media industry standard is usually some version of the Sony MDR-7506

Я уже с ума схожу от подбора периферии

Крайне не рекомендую любые "геймерские" наушники, особенно за эту цену. Лучше взять студийные или просто хорошие любительские наушники по типу Beyerdynamic dt 770 pro (32 Ом), Audio-technica ath-m40x, AKG K92/72, Sony MDR-7506. Поверь, это намного лучше чем всё это геймерские говно с хер пойми каким

What is the secret sauce to getting guitar amp modelers to have the perfect locked in midrange? I've been to a ton of shows where the guitarists kemper or axe fx sound like a completely unusable tone.

This is 100% always the case. Example: I engineer for a cover band that does classic folk music (The Eagles, John Denver, etc.). They run a completely silent stage, and just use modelers and IEM's. One of the guitarist's bought a Line 6 HX-Stomp about a year ago. He would mess with the built-in effe

Headphones recos as video editor

Sony MDR-7506 seems to be the default staple at like 90% of the post houses I've worked at, haha. But hey, why not? They're pretty solid.

Emma’s Earbuds (headphones?)

Yes! I don't know if I said a brand on the pod, but I have a few different pairs, I'll list them below! One thing I always consider is active noise canceling versus passive noise canceling. Active noise canceling is what AirPods and similar headphones provide. This means they use specific frequencie

Don’t sleep on upgrading your headphones or monitors

"Arya organic is not close to flat frequency response. I would never use my aryas to mix anything" This. It is very easy to fall into the "wow" placebo effect just cause something is new and shiny. Studios round the world generally lean on the Sennheisers (as noted), the Sony 7506 and ATMX50/ATMX60

Finally got them and I’m really happy! 😃 My first pair of professional headphones: Sony MDR-7506. Paired with my Audient iD14 MKII, I think they’ll make a great combo 🎧

You'll always see soup forks on here and elsewhere talking shit on the ol' 7506. Talking about how Focals are better, you need planar magnetic headphones, if you don't spend more than $1000 on headphones you're not serious about music, etc. etc. etc. It's beyond ridiculous. There is a reason that yo

sometimes i make a beat and the bass is too loud in my headphones but too basically inaudible through speakers

What type of headphones. If they’re beats, or some sort of ones that are made for listening to hip hop, they are boosting those frequencies to “sound more sick yo.” I like to mix in Sony mdr-7506 which are very transparent and give a tight bass response. They’re usually a good representation of how

Mio's headphones

To be fair common monitor headphones aren't that expensive as they're more bare bone tools than hobby toys. They're typically not extremely built nor featured, nor do they have the best technicalities. The studio staple Sony MDR-7506 and its Japanese market cousin MDR-CD900ST are just $100-ish. Even

Hi everyone beginner here.

Wind protection is mandatory, look for the furry covers from Rycote. Always listen while you record, get some Sony 7506’s or Sennheiser HD280’s at a minimum. You’re listening for issues with the recording while you’re recording: wind noise, handling noise, or background noise that can be reduced by
