Like many people who work with audio I use a variety of monitors for mixing and mastering. Most frequently I’ll work on monitors, but check edits and details using the ‘phones and also do a sanity check on a more restricted monitor (a mono Avantone Mixcube or a pair of £20 Aletec Lansing computer speakers in my case).
My trusty Sennheiser HD250 Linears have been quite adequate for my needs for a long time, but recently I’ve been getting a little stale on my monitors and decided to buy myself a pair of better headphones.
Now I reckon that “which headphones should I buy?” must rank alongside “recommend me a microphone” and “what preamp do I need?” in terms of persistence. And it’s pretty well unanswerable, so here’s the answer. Ahem!
