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

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.

When buying a premium headphone, what matters most to you.
Sound Comfort Price. I have Sennheiser HD650, Audio Technica ATH-M40X and a cheap wireless Soundcore Q20i that, with its EQ, sounds acceptably. It is also noise cancelling. It can be also used wired, but sound is worse.

Hopping on amp sims, need help.
Sony MDR-7506s if you can find them on sale, otherwise Audio Technica ATH-M40x are solid for that price range. Both are pretty standard for home recording and won't make your amp sims sound like garbage. Check Guitar Center used section too, sometimes you can snag decent cans for cheap

Whats the move here?
Or, you can use flat frequency response headphones (Audio Technica ATH M40x is a great cheap option) and put a studio speaker simulator on the master channel. Just be sure to bypass it before exporting.

Hey, your welcome! I dont exactly know how good AirPods Pro are..but I would suggest over the ear headphones.. cheap: Audio Technica ATH-M40x (a bit bass heavy); medium: Beyerdynamic DT-880 pro; top end: Neumann NDH 30. .. probably go with the cheapest first.. :)

Headphones for Guitar practicing - AKG vs Sennheiser
My searches helped this post, It think this 3 model is good for practice: Audio-Technica ATH-M40x, AKG K240 Studio (Semi-Open), Samson SR850. The AKG is a good choice in the middle price range.https://practiceguitargear.com/the-best-budget-studio-headphones-for-your-fender-mustang-micro/
