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

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 :)

I've been singing the Maxwell's praises since they launched; even bought a second pair shortly after testing my launch unit and realizing how much of a homerun the set is from a value perspective.

I would say that if you are aware of the acoustics of your room, then you are already halfway there. The other half is working by making decisions that take those acoustics into account.

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.

Without room treatment, get the best headphones and headphone amplifier/DAC you can afford is the general advice. Conor Dalton the mastering engineer recommends the Audeze LCD 5 and 3, as well as the LCDX and the MM500. But really get the ones that make the most sense to you and if you can always tr

Yeah but don't forget to invest on good headphone amp/DAC too :) Side-info: I have Cranborne 500adat and it's headphone amps are really really good (Not get mentioned a lot but it is that good I was pretty surprised). RME ADI-2 pro fs = also reviewed to be excellent. I have LCD-X 2021 model and I re
