Hi guys. I'm looking for a studio headphone but I don't know what headphone is the "best". I hear about Sennheiser HD 380 and Beyerdaynamic DT 990 pro 250ohm( for bayerdaynamic hadphones I hear you need a amplifier to hear the maximum potential but I don't know what amplifier works great with this headphone, I have a Scarlett 2i2 audio interface and this own a headphone amplifier bunt I'm not shure if this is enough). So if you can recommand something to me please do it.
Sorry for my English.

If you're in a studio environment, I'd avoid an open-back headphone as you could get leakage/feedback unless that taken care of. I'm using the DT770-M closed back straight out of my AudioFire4 and I get plenty of volume.

I have Beyerdynamic DT770 pros 80 ohm. Great headphones. Comfy, loud.

I run a pair of DT990 Pro's out of my Fireface 400 without a headphone amp and they're plenty loud.
Superb, superb headphones.

I use Audio Technica ATH-M50X. Nice, comfy closed back headphones. Good bass response. I have them connected directly to a NI AK1 interface. No volume problems. I had some Sennheiser HD 450II previously. They weren't as comfortable to wear for long periods, and had problems with 'spill' as they are open backed.

If your computer is loud i'd stay away from open back but if not that's all I'd get tbh.

These are very comfortable for those long hours spent in the nursery (aka the studio).
This is the same method MJ used when he was working on Anthony Marinelli's Thriller.

If you want a headphone for monitoring/comparing purposes instead of one specifically for recording, you may decide to not go for an open-back model. In that case, there are various AKG models I would recommend: K240 Mk II, K 701, and K 702

I have K240's and 701's as well as ATH-M50s and the DT990s. The DT's are way superior to them all imo.Skorpius wrote:If you want a headphone for monitoring/comparing purposes instead of one specifically for recording, you may decide to not go for an open-back model.

I've always used the ATH series and had good results, but not much to compare to. Currently have ATH M40s as well as a couple pairs of ATH M30s available for tracking with multiple people.
