Best headphones for Video Editing.

I also edit on a Mac mini and I use a pair of Audio-Technica ATH-M40x headphones. For critical listening you need a good pair of over-the-ear studio reference monitor phones for accuracy, comfort and passive isolation. What you don't need is active noise cancellation specially in consumer grade head

Whats better for music productions Audio-Technica ath-m50x or sony mdr 7506

I'd actually highly recommend the ATH-M40x headphones. They have a much more even and flat response and are much better for music production. The ATH-M50x's are more for tracking and listening to music as a consumer. I find the Sony MDR-7506's to be harsh and lack low end. The Sony MDR-7506's are te

Casual Discussion Fridays - Week of June 05, 2026

Headphone suggestions

Audio-Technica ATH-M40x is around your budget. If you extend your budget get a ATH-M50x. They are really good studio monitors..I use the ATH-M60x The only other headphone i can think of around your budget is Sennheiser HD 560S. Everything else people suggest are just for casual listening.

Casual Discussion Fridays - Week of May 29, 2026

I fished out the Audio-Technica ATH-M40x headphones which I hadn't used in a while (because I eventually switched up a model) but I do have a Bluetooth adapter for them and I've been feeling the need lately to use wireless audio that isn't via earbuds. I discovered that the leatherette on the earcup

Which ones, is hard to tell, that is very personal.I personally would a

If you already have a decent laptop and monitors, a Ddj flx4 and some headphones like the Audio Technica ATH-M40x would set her up to start djing!

What do I need for an SM58 mic?

When you are starting out, any XLR cable and mic stand will do just fine, just make sure you also have a microphone clip to attach it to the stand. For the audio interface I would recommend the Behringer UMC202HD, IMO it is the same sound quality than the starting focusrite... For the headphones I l
