MM-500

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 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

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 :)

Audeze mm500, totally overkill and I bet some crap gaming headset is better for cs.

Ok this combined with op has piqued my interest now!! I have the audeze mm-500 and UA Apollo 8p. I was shocked to see the Topping L30 ii is £150! And it’s really that much better than the Apollo?

I have a used set of Audeze MM-500 headphones. They retailed for $1799 when I got this set for $1200. Along with my DAC/Amp, it allows me to basically x-ray any music I want to truly experience.
