Best headphones for Video Editing.

I also edit on a Mac mini and I use a pair of Audio-Technica ATH-M40x headphones.

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

An almost perfect Y1 clear case.

These are the Audio-Technica ATH-M40x. These have been my favorite headphones for years due to their balanced sound profile and comfortable fit. However, I have tweaked the EQ on the Y1 slightly toward a “classical” profile to fit my needs.

Budget Mixing Headphones

Better kung ma-try mo in person sa headphone store like Egghead (Rob Galle or Shang). Aside from the sound, consider mo rin yung comfort. Check out AudioTechnica ATH-M40x (test fit mo kung okay sa tenga mo). Other options: Sony MDR7506 AKG K240 Superlux HD681 (cheaper)
