Backup recommendations Mixing Headphones for cheap?

Sony MDR7506s, they look nice, but pretty pricey. They are $100 usd, decent professional headphones don't really come much cheaper than that. The only cheaper option I know which is actually good is the AKG K240 Studio. If you can't afford that, I recommend that you don't buy anything, use the headp

What’s that one cheap staple piece of gear you never plan to upgrade or replace?

For me it’s the AKG K240 Studio Headphone. I bought it as first gear in 2003 and it was my fellow companion until the plastic started to die down. I replaced it with Beyerdynamic DT707Pro and am now stuck with Neumann NDH30. It may not be the cheapest gear, but the kind of gear I was most dependent

whats better? to record vocal and do mix? Audio-Technica ATH-M30X/AKG K240 MKII/AKG K240

To record vocals, you may want to use closed headphones, so among those listed ATH m30x would be the better choice. However, unless you monitor at insane levels and use a condenser mic to capture intimate vocals, semi open would also work well. For mixing, though, none of the above are adequate. I l

I mix at home, I don't have much technical knowledge, and I need to buy something to mix better (or that's what I think?)

Honestly for your situation I’d stick with headphones for now. You can absolutely mix on them. If you don’t even have a dedicated room, much less an acoustically treated one monitors are probably going to create more problems for you than they’ll solve. Lucky for you the AKG K240’s are currently on

What made you upgrade your headphones?

The headband cracked. Well they were from 1978 so I go to a few stores that put a choice out on stands. Plug your mobile phone into the 3.5 mm socket and switch between several choices for £20 to £500. They really were so bad. So I went back with my own vintage set and okay some of the very expensiv

Today my career in music production begins. I worked hard and achieved it, I finally have my first audio interface 😄

Headphones are always a tough recommendation due to how individual tastes can vary, as well as particular needs. If your primary concern is mixing and don't need to worry about bleed, AKG K240s are well-liked. I've used my open-back Sennheiser HD6xx here and there, but haven't really dug in to a mix

Headaches after headphone use (BossKatana Go)

I just bought some AKG K240 Studio headphones for $58 on Mr Bezos's website. They sound great to me and they're "semi open" whatever that means. I've got a big noggin, and they're pretty comfortable.
