What is the best headphone I can get for mixing, I can't choose.

HD 650/ HD 6XX (same headphone, but a cheaper special edition from drop.com) are legendary for mixing and mastering. And for good reason. Check out this review that includes independent measurements by Sonarworks https://www.sonarworks.com/blog/reviews/sennheiser-hd650-review And then if you compare

Headphone Lab and Minimeters

You’re supposed to turn it off when you export. When you apply EQ, crossfeed, or room simulation to headphones, it’s only for monitoring. The goal is to work against an EQ target that translates better to other systems, or to have a stereo image that behaves more like speakers. So yes, it does chang

Magni+ vs Magni Unity

The mani is a phono pre amp and the modi is a dac. Neither has a headphone amp. Maybe you mean a Magni variant of some kind? With some BeyerDynamics I’d want something that had at least a little warmth, every pair I’ve tried has been fatiguing and made me want to stop listening. But to each their ow

Questions About Sound Id Reference

It’s not good. The target they aim for is too flat, it lacks low end, and it’s too bright for good translation. I used to use it, but every time I kept turning the mix knob down, until one day I was using less than 50%, so I thought, what’s the point of this? Also my mixes translated poorly everywhe

It happened...

this is kinda well known issue with a lot of beyerdynamic headphones, that part of plastic is just absolute garbage material, and on top of that the adjusting length causes some tension on that plastic too, I do get sad too when they cracked on mine beyers :(

Closed Back Headphones vs IEMS (In-Ear Monitors)/Earphones

I too have large head issues. I mainly used the Beyerdynamic DT990 (opened back) and after a while (3 or more hours) my ears will begin to have pain. When editing I have used Sony WH-1000XM3 for long sessions (6 hours or more) and surprisingly have never had any pain while using them.

Help me choose which headphones to order today

I’d recommend the Hifiman Sundara. Let me break down exactly why it’s my pick. I used the DT 880 Pro for years. I tried every calibration trick I could to get it sounding better, but eventually I decided it was time for a replacement. I went back and forth between Sennheiser, Audio-Technica and plen

Sorry, maybe the post was not clear enough. I thought you were referring to the mix sounding different after export because the process was left on. If instead you are referring to the process altering the mix while you work, so you cannot hear the mix in its original form, then I have to say that y

Nyt gaming headset

jeg var SÅ skuffet, for selve kvaliteten af materialer føltes faktisk ganske fint, men lyden og deres pisse elendige software er bare et no go men videre må man bare, ville gerne at BeyerDynamics lavede et lækkert gaming headset til en 400€ ca, som ikke var rent plastik lol

Broke my hinge

If it's the sliders you're talking about, then you can get replacements directly from Beyerdynamic if they ship to you. You can also find 3D printed versions as well on sites like eBay and Etsy. These are supposedly stronger than the original ones. The sliders breaking/cracking is a common failure p
