heya one and all. i have _finally_ managed to squeeze out a few bucks that i can use to get some better 'phones for monitoring / mixing.
after _lots_ of reading and garnering of recommendations i've narrowed my choice down to the Shure SRH840's or the Audio Technica ATHM50's.
unfortunately i live way out in the sticks and don't know if i'll be able to wangle a trip to somewhere civillised to listen to both anytime soon, so, can anyone here comment knowledgeably on either of these sets of 'phones?
oh, and before the "you need to spend at least a squillion bucks on some..." or "for just blah hundreds more you should get...", thanks, i know. there are good reasons i'm not gonna go into here why my budget for this (and in general) is so limited (these are both in the AU 200 to 250 range), and either of those 'phones will be a _big_ step up from what i'm using now.
of course my next step is to scrape together twice as much or so for some small studio monitors, but it'll likely take ages before i can line up to be told what a deluded cheap-ass i am for only spending that much on those.
anyhoo thanks in advance for any replies.
