What are the best headphones for music production and mixing?
It's a good question! Today I hope to help answer it. Please ask me anything about any of the headphones in the comments of this video and I will reply with detailed notes and feedback :)
Good headphones should:
1) Provide an accurate, spacious sound stage to aid in mixing and mastering music.
2) Reveal low, mid and high frequencies without distortion so you can make quick production decisions.
3) Faithfully reproduce the dynamics and transient response of the material.
4) Reveal the depth of audio material.
5) Feel comfortable on your head for many hours and be strong enough to withstand daily ues.
These headphones I tested and the price at the time of video publishing ($USD / £GBP)
Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro $143 = £108
Audio Technica M50x $143 = £108
Beyerdynamic DT 240 Pro $82 = £63
Audio Technica M40x $102 = £78
Audio Technica M30x $68 = £53
Audio Technica M20x $44 = £34
AKG K 702 $154 = £119
AKG K 240 MII $70 = £54
Sennheiser HD280 MK2 $143 = £110
Sony MDR 7506 $115 = £89

Notes:
- It appears that the AKG K702 is now produced in China (it used to be made in Europe and cost much more). This likely explains why my experience doesn't match what others have said in previous years.
- The DT 770 pro really is a step above the rest here and if you can afford it, I think it offers the best price to performance out of these 10.
- There were many other headphones which didn't even make it to this top 10 due to:
Lack of customer support/brand new company with no track record
Terrible first impression etc

what abt akg k92

@stanisawszczypua9076 Год назад

All you said about AKG K240 I noticed from personal experience.... when I used them on sound source that was not powerful enough! After pluging them to FiiO K5 amp (it delivers ~1W @ 32 ohm ) K240 change drastically for the better in all aspects. On paper they shouldn't be that power hungry but believe me they are. Sony MDR-7506 are probably the most counterfeited headphones on the market. Maybe you get fake ones.

@FoalysPub 7 месяцев назад

(@inthemix ) as someone who has had 4 sets of The m40x (all have failed the same way) the biggest issue with them is they almost always brake right at the arm joint between arm fold pivot that connects the arm to the swivel not to mention finding replacement arms for them you have to go to a specific website that sells the arm replacements (they sell both sides seperatly for 15$ each as of a year ago) and not amazon as you would find for the m50x's There is no tutorials on how to do the swap (you have to Desodder the headphone wires from the boards and re fish the wires and resodder the wires back to the headphone board and its a pain in the butt trust me i've done it 2x on two sets) I managed to do it using the same sodder how ever I was also using a map torch and some fine craft picks to remove the wires from the headphone boards... once you get them off its just a matter of not braking the arms getting the new ones on (its a struggle and you will need some force but not a ton) then the hard part is fishing the whole arm assembly back through it goes from the band through swivel and fold joint arm assembly banks a 90 turn through the pivot and along the arm and then again through a hole in one the arm connection... If you do open them to replace the arm I recommend hot glue to hold the wire so you can re sodder if you don't have any good way of holding it all in place...

And now I see many folks using them online and replacement parts are much easier to find. Thanks for the help!

A very good review and evaluation of these models, thanks for expending your own money to provide the review. Don’t forget that one can EQ/preamp the source to remove harsh highs, or to scoop the minds, or to balance the bass end for “thump” without toilet bowl rumble. So, with good EQ practices, one can make any one of these models to fit personal sound profile needs. For this list, I’d consider any of the top 5. It can often come down to which one is most comfortable to wear, not to discount the size and quality of the drivers, of course.

@pressure-spirals 3 года назад

Great video! Very informative and to the point. I have been looking, asking, searching for months to buy my new headphone for my mini home studio. I was almost ready to buy the dt 770. BUT most of the people i talked (for my gear, money etc) told me that if the audio interface is low budget no good quality headphones can perform well and there is no reason in giving the money for the DTs. Especially the 250oms. Lots of people suggested me also to go for open back , if i don't record with mics or annoy anyone at home. So before your video and after so many conversations/recommendations.....i was going for AKG240 mii (half open back, good recommendation for low budget audio interface) . But then......your video KILLED ME :P The Audio Technica M40x/50x is also highly recommended but i m confused with so many guys telling me about the open back's better quality. The DT 990 comes only in 220ohms (i think) :( I was hoping there would be recommendations for low budget audio interface also in your video. What would you suggest for my behringer u-phoria umc22 ? Can the DT770 32ohm perform well enough? Do you recommend / agree with the open back headphones? Are the AKG k240 mii that bad for me? Thank you for you time Edit. i just saw an older videos of yours talking about the deference between 32 ohm vs 250 ohm and open back and closed headphones. So you helped me a lot. You also said almost the some things most of people have told me. So i guess it all leads to another additional question. Should i save money for a more expensive audio interface plus DT 770-990s or leave that for later and buy cheaper headphones that work great with my behringer u-phoria umc22?

Great review! I love my Sennheiser HD 280's. They are still going strong after two decades however I need to buy a replacement headband. I got these because they also had great noise cancelling ability. When you put them on they really do block out all other noise. I used them in the early noughties on flights to Australia for two years running to block out the sound of the aircraft and other passengers and screaming babies. Worked like a charm. Also great for DJing and pretty much everything else too. The sound quality is incredible. I have to admit the cushioning on those Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro's look great!

@LiraeNoir 3 года назад

The Sony MDR 7506 _are_ an industry standard, you will find them _everywhere_ in the pro world. **But** they are a standard for a very specific reason: they are very cheap (relative to a production/set budget), light, and they accentuate all the wrong frequencies in the "right" way, making them quite good for monitoring/tracking audio (of all sort, but mostly vocals and ambiance) and noticing problems very fast (like somebody just activate the AC on set, or a phone is ringing on the floor below). They would be atrocious for mixing and mastering. As for comfort, they need to be broken in a bit, but they aren't for wearing 8 hours straight that's for sure :)

@jonhattanrai 3 года назад

@*-* They should work just fine for that, they are pretty flat.

@LiraeNoir 3 года назад

@*-* Try them if you can. If you spend a lot of hours transcribing, they can be fatiguing. Usually you want some mid-forward cans, with a lot of details in the high, for transcribing. But honestly, that can be somewhat EQ, even in software, so I would go for long term comfort first and foremost than EQ for this specific application.

I use the Sony MDR for quite a while now and used them for my first single release. They are so comfortable for my head. I don't sweat in them and I can wear them for a couple of hours. But, you are right, the low mids and the bass are hard to hear. I guess, for each headphone, you should always check out the inbuilt equalizer. All in all, it does not really matter what headphones you are using. As long as you are used to the sound, you can also mix and master your stuff with them, because you know how other professionally mixed songs sound on your headphones.

great video. I agree for the most part. Have the AKG 240 mkii and I'm shocked how bad they sound compared to other headphones i've acquired. Have had the AT m30x for a couple years, very nice for the price, with excellent isolation. Just got the m50x, which is a nice upgrade all around, worth it if you can afford them - if not, don't sweat it, the 30x are like 90% as good imo. Had the Beyerdynamic dt770 (32ohm), which had the best comfort and overall sound imo, however they were not balanced - the left channel was noticeably louder, so i returned them. Also, they are a bit bulky and noticed this when leaning my head back on a seatback or headboard of my bed, the bulk actually was an issue. Overall, get the AT m50x!

@deanZAbean 2 года назад

I have used the M20X audio Technica headphones for like 3/4 years I believe, only issue I find is the cable does wear quite easily so does the padding but the pads on the ears doesn't cause any discomfort and the audio is amazing for the price range, I have had to buy a 2nd pair of these but I just found the price and quality to be worth it. Kinda was shocked to see it on the list still as I was looking to upgrade (which I still am) but just goes to show they put the work in the right places for those earphones

@mutantbaby1672 3 года назад

Great review. A lot of people rave about the HD 280 PRO but I agree with your assessment. The frequency response is pretty weird. I'm now replacing them with HD 300 PRO which is much much better. I'd put it on par with the 80 ohm DT770 PRO sound wise or maybe even a bit better in the low bass region. It isolates better then the Beyer but the clamping force is just as high as the 280 PRO. The 770 PRO is more comfy.

Honestly, I think you've nailed it straight off that paying that bit more makes a big difference. My preference is the Beyerdynamics too (I use both DT770 and DT990 pros depending on circumstances), but the Audio Technica ones are great too, and really both are so good imo that its just personal preference between them. The cheap AKGs are really disappointing - I bought a set of the 240 ones (possibly mkii tho) when I was starting to get into studio work as they seemed like a decent, and affordable choice, but I wish I'd just held off a little and spent a bit more as it would have made starting out so much more enjoyable.

I like the isolation with the leather cushions and the closed back design. *Tipp* : In Gaming, I use an EQ and stomp on everything from 16k and up, so the harshness gets away. And they are constantly on sale somewhere as I heard from others :D Ps: I would also say they have a good amount of bass but this wording could be confusing, because they also have an excellent bass response. It's not too much but just precisely what you put in.

@metalliclark86 Год назад

I'm concerned the 50s would put too much bass into it and muddy treble to high freqs, however more powerful treble to high freqs also brighten too much the bass. Do the 50s deliver all of em correctly? Thanks in advance

Thank you so much; this was really useful. I was on the verge of opting for the Sony MDR7506 but the Audio Technica ATHM40 seems to be a bit better. Really useful info, presented impartially. Awesome!

@dothgaerwenoakblossom15 3 года назад

So I have the ATH-M40X and I am happy with them, I also love sound coming from around you so maybe I'll buy the Dt770pro in the future By the way your videos are especially so good because you are so relaxed all time!

@inthemix 3 года назад

Nice! For an even more wide open feeling maybe try to DT 990pro? That way you will have the 40s for recording and referencing and the DT990 for your detailed mixing and mastering?

My main pair is Sony MDR 7506 with Wicked Cushions replacement pads. They make a big difference and improve the sound considerably. I also have and love the Audio Technica ATH40s.

@Kiefy6886 4 месяца назад

That's exactly what I use for studio reference! The Sony's with replaced pads. I have Audio Technica ath-50 which is fun to listen to with it's naturally boosted bass but they are uncomfortable and VERY uncomfortable if I'm wearing glasses!

Thank you so much for this review. I found all the information I needed

@mauchkimberly 2 года назад

Really useful. I did some research and I'm glad to know my conclusions are consistent with a more experienced artist. I don't have the money for lots of experimenting in order to find the "right ones." I was hoping to get it right first time around.

If someday you decide to do a part 2, these are my recommendations: AKG K361, Status Audio CB-1, Superlux HD688B, Monoprice modern retro, Takstar Pro 82, Tascam TH-02 and Philips SPH9500. Great video btw.

@Brunnen_Gee 3 года назад

I highly recommend the Modern Retro, and the HD688B. I have both, and I'm constantly blown away by both of them. The Modern Retro is just stupid good, especially for it's price. The HD688B is sooooooundstaaaaaage on a budget. I play around with different pads on those, and you can get some crazy sound out of them. I just don't like the head band on the HD688B's.

@davidbcg286 3 года назад

I second the AKG K361/371 and the Philips SHP9500/9600 The AKG got some stellar reviews regarding the sound (the build is not so good, I had to fix mine once already and I stopped folding it... but love the sound for the price and natural isolation).

@stanleycostello9610 2 года назад

I just got a pair of SHP 9600 headphones today. I can tell that I am going to like them after they get burned in. I have a pair of SBC HP 250 which are still going strong. (They must be about 25 years old.) Happy listening!

@iamrichlol 2 года назад

Thanks man, I'm going for the M40s!

@insaan1234 2 года назад

I received the m40s today, the volume seems to be very low and idk if it's my ears or the details are lacking and I don't enjoy the sound of it, idk if its a good thing

@AnteroJokinen 3 года назад

I have both M50s and DT770 Pros. M50s are fatiguing without Sonarworks, DT770s are way more comfortable otherwise too (the band is softer). One thing I hope people would remember though is, that people have differently shaped heads and ears so it's not always "one model fits all". :) In my case, the top of my head and ears get irritated very easily, so I need a very good soft headphone band and cups. DT770s have been the best for me so far.

@svensvensson8102 3 года назад

Awesome, thanks. Any advice in the DT770 vs 990? Closed vs open design for all-round use in production, mixing and mastering? The impedance is also a bit of a mystery. Not technically but I keep hearing different things about whether your average USB powered sound interface can drive 250 ohm properly. Any advice welcome.

One more thing, My Friends tell me that I’ve got a slight british accent and I think it’s because I’ve seen so many of Michael’s super useful videos. Thank you soooooo much Michael!

Michael Excellent video I’ve been doing research I have Audio Technica T22s that have wonderful rich sound but I broke the arching ear band! I was looking at the One Audio units but was a little leery based on customer reviews so then I upped my budget and was thinking of the ATH-M30X but still wasn’t sure. But your video to me has been very helpful. Thank you!

@ricobonimusic 3 года назад

I'm using the AKG MK240II since 2009 or 2010, always been happy with them. Well my son almost broke them a few weeks ago so I'm gonna keep in mind your suggestions, just in case!😩😂👍thanks
