What Are Some Good Headphones to Mix In????




prime


I need some good headphones to mix in FL Studio(Fruity Loops)

Preferably under $100 and give a good true sound.......

What headphones do you guys think I should get???????

I was planing to buy these: http://www.behringer.com/HPS5000/index.cfm?lang=ENG



Answer
Probably not best to mix with headphones. Headphones are great for hearing things in music that u wouldnt hear otherwise, but in terms of organising the different tracks then there is no substitute for monitors. They provide 100x more spatial information than headphones. Not to mention, headphones for <$100 probably wont give a good true sound. I would recommend investing in some monitors.

Alesis Monitor Ones Mk2 are good entry-level monitors. Monitors dont mess with the sound at all, so they give a true sound. Whereas speakers often have their own setting which affects the music (some are bass-heavy, some are treble-heavy etc). This means if u mix with speakers, then suppose u are mixing on bass-heavy speakers, then you will increase the treble so it sounds balanced. However when someone plays it on treble-heavy speakers, the treble will be very overpowering.

what headphones are best for mixing?

I need some new headphones for my college course, i need some that are good for mixing a track, cant have any bass boosts or any boosts at all
don't say dr dre beats they have to much bass i need some HeadPhones where everything is nearly equal



Answer
Heey, I'm a fellow college student here as well.

The Beats by Dre have MONSTER bass boost. I would definitely not recommend them for mixing or mastering.

I recently reviewed Shure SRH940 headphones for the same price as the Beats, and they destroy them in every way but bass quantity: http://www.head-fi.org/products/shure-srh-940/reviews/5656

Take a look at some of the Sennheiser (HD-1-ii), Shure (SRH-840), V-Moda Crossfade M80, or Audio Technica ATH-M50 if you want headphones with a balanced sound signature. All 4 of these are extremely well-built in comparison to most other headphones and the Sennheiser ones actually have replaceable parts (in case one part of the headphone does break). The Sennheiser, V-Moda, and Audio Technica headphones I mentioned are known to be really comfortable and have good noise isolation (meaning you can listen to less of the outside noise, more of your music at the same volume level) if that's what you're looking for as well.

All 3 are also under $150! They are great budget headphones for college students looking for audio quality.

Head-Fi.org, great place for audio question if you have any more by the way.
