While realizing the drawbacks associated with recording and mixing with headphones, my living situation makes them a necessity.
I am currently using Sennheiser HD280 Pros, which have served well for many years, and will continue to see use for open mic tracking purposes since they are closed-back.
The ol' 280's are wearing thin and are beginning to show a little age when listened to with scrutiny, as in mixing. Most recommendations for mixing headphones are open-backed.
After much research and budget consideration, the selection has narrowed down to 4 types:
Sennheiser HD650
Sennheiser HD600
AKG K701
AKG K702
also considered were Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro and 880 Pro.
As with many things audio related, these are similar enough to have a wide range of opinions as to which are best. A lot of my research as to people's experiences with these are 100's of pages of nastiness (Gearsluts does have a mostly informative thread that is several thousand replies long over almost 6 years), but figured to ask here as most AO members are rational and give informed opinions. Any of these would probably serve well, but was hoping for some feedback on some or all of them.
Does anyone have experience with any of these models?
