Emma’s Earbuds (headphones?)

Headphones recos as video editor
Sony MDR-7506 seems to be the default staple at like 90% of the post houses I've worked at, haha. But hey, why not? They're pretty solid.

Finally got them and I’m really happy! 😃 My first pair of professional headphones: Sony MDR-7506. Paired with my Audient iD14 MKII, I think they’ll make a great combo 🎧
You'll always see soup forks on here and elsewhere talking shit on the ol' 7506.

To be fair common monitor headphones aren't that expensive as they're more bare bone tools than hobby toys.

Which headphones should I buy?
I use pretty much exclusively use headphones for editing. I’ve been using Sony MDR7506’s for 14 years. Never had any issues besides some wear and tear on the soft material that covers the cups, but they are still comfortable despite that.

Recommend Headphones for using a 2i2 to record guitar.

Any Headphone Recommendations?
spend the money on something like the sony MDR 7506. These are used all around the world in various studios and production environments. Well worth the cost. Buying cheaper stuff just means you have to replace it more often. I've been using the same pair for over a decade with no issue.
