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.

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

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?)

Headphones for Heavy Metal Guitar
I’ve used AKG K240 Studio headphones for a few years. I like them. I use them plugged into my audio interface, Modeler/FX unit and amp for everything from practicing to recording to mixing. They are generally priced in the $76 to $100 CAD range. Shop around.

Headphones that sound like a HiFi?
For a budget headphone ( currently $55 on Amazon) , I highly recommend the AKG K240 Studio headphones. Open back and extremely acurate and comfortable.

Mixing headphones under 200?
AKG K240 Studio and be done with it for $50. They were used throughout the 70s for all of the classic albums and they'll give you as close to monitors as you can get in headphones.
