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

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

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.

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.

PC AM5 mais barato do Nordeste brasileiro: um sonho de adolescente realizado
Tamo junto pô!! De interface tô usando uma Behringer UM2 e de fone tô com um AKG K240 Studio. Não uso por puro capricho, é porque de vez em quando trabalho com produção musical também. A interface me ajuda a ter o mínimo de latência possível quando toco guitarra (consequentemente os jogos ficam com
