Which headphones should I buy?

I've had a good experience with Audio Technica ATH-M40x from 10 years ago. They have a fairly flat response and full range. I'm not sure if anything has changed in current models. They are around $100.

$200 budget: studio monitors or headphones for beatmaking & mixing in a home studio?

Get the Audio Technica ATH-M40x’s and call it a day. Studio monitors are great, but you also need an audio interface to get them connected to your PC, and then you’ll likely want a subwoofer. Then you need the cables to connect everything. Getting all of that together is going to easily push you ove
