I use a set of AKG K280 Parabolic (dual transducer) from the 1980s. I bought them new for $250 back then and they still rock now.
Great all-purpose phones that have lasted me 20+ years.
What would be the best closed headphone for production.
it's not so much to get them louder but it makes them sound more balanced at lower volumes. if i plug my HD650 into my interface headphone jack i can still destroy my hearing if i want to but the bass just doesn't have the same power. that relates to what you said about open backs bottom end. a headphone amp can improve things a lot.AVX23 wrote: some people reccomend using a headphone amp with them but I personally like to monitor a little more quietly so I don't fatigue my ears as much.

This. I've been reading about it up a lot recently and seriously considering getting one. OR do you think the ones in interfaces match up? This's been quite a question for me, my guess that they don't...tone-def wrote:it's not so much to get them louder but it makes them sound more balanced at lower volumes. if i plug my HD650 into my interface headphone jack i can still destroy my hearing if i want to but the bass just doesn't have the same power. that relates to what you said about open backs bottom end. a headphone amp can improve things a lot.AVX23 wrote: some people reccomend using a headphone amp with them but I personally like to monitor a little more quietly so I don't fatigue my ears as much.

Hi, i work a few days per week programming/eng and i work on headphones 99% of the day coz of noise levels..
I've just started using AKG K702 they're really good, pretty neutral.. plenty of detail.. when i take them off and do final balances on monitors i'm not too far away !
i recommend you to have a listen to them..
(before this i was using Sen HD 25 SP) they're ass!
