Hi,
Can anyone recommend a closed back headphone model that will give me as close to the flat frequency response of my Mackie 624 monitors? Thanks -------------------- ________________--==:: Watch The Skies ::==--________________

Sony MDR 7506
Sony MDR 7509 Audio Technica ATH M40 AKG K240 Sennheiser HD 265 … I can't guaranty you they are "close" to the Mackie, but they are studio references or said good for by pros on the FR side of MM. As monitoring thru headphones is a job not to do for more than a few minutes per hours (save your ears!!!). Also, headphone dont give relevant info on phase and stereo… You should listen before buying anyway, and be aware some are tiring. -------------------- Our Classifeds • Nos petites annonces • Terms Of Service / Conditions d'Utilisation • Forum Rules / Règles des Forums • MacMusic.Org & SETI@Home

Out of all the headphones I've tried, the Sony MDR 7506 is by far the best. ...Just my opinion. All ears are different.
As the little martian said, doing your mixes with headphones will tire your ears real quick, so if you must, take a break from time to time. ...And every so often, play your mix thru your home stereo, car stereo, etc., to see if you're on the right track, before realizing that you've just wasted 12 hrs. of your life for nothing. Good luck! |

Headphones are great for keeping on good terms with neighbours, but you've got to be fairly disciplined about not trying to keep yourself musically excited and 'turned on' in a long session by making small incremental increases in volume, they all add up! if you go to bed with your ears ringing....that noise...tinnitus, normally goes by morning but some unfortunate souls (me for instance) are stuck with a permanent high hiss 24/7!!
I have several friends who are stuck with this after a youth playing in bands etc, My pain threshold seems to have dropped, I cant even cope with noisy environments like pubs anymore, and clubbing, with people shouting into your ear from two inches away is out of the question (even if I could dance:-) A nice pair of cans can provide an immersive listening experience which is hard to beat, but be careful. By the way, can anyone tell me where I can obtain a new cable for my ancient Sennheiser 560's? They must be ten years old but I like them. (the 'phones end' are smal 1cmx2cm(ish) flattened plugs with two tiny identcal prongs to stick in the phones. Sennheisers site sells lots of 'phones cables but the 560 seems to be discontinued. cheers JC |
