producers - what headsets you use?

[affseofl2654]

Ultrasones is the brand, here's a link to the studio headphones,


I have the 900's myself, plus I also have their DJ1 Pro Headphones for DJing. Firm believer in their headphones since my first experience using them, and nothing else has even come close to being as transparent, accurate and comfortable as these guys have. Great for extended listening periods, i.e. studio work, and are also awesome has DJ cans as they sit very comfortably and offer great noise cancellation. Did I mention how accurate and transparent they are?

You can't do much better for the price.

I won't use anything other than IEM's, Shure are my current brand. I been using IEM's for production at night time (I'm pretty nocturnal) and to DJ with Ableton Live for over 6 years.

I owned Sony HDR5609 and Sennheiser HD25, one of my best mates has Pioneer HDJ200's. I like mine the best and look forward to upgrading to the SE535 or a set of customs.

As I am the Tech Editor of Ibiza-Voice I actually have a set of the Ultrasone DJ1's being sent out to me soon for review.

when im on the road... i use my senheiser HD25's... i find they give a good frequency response across the whole range... plus there brilliant DJ headphones... Wouldnt reccomend them for fine precision tweaking/EQing though... for that i use my AKG K240 studio's... i swear by those things for studio use... Havent found a pair of headphones that has as much depth as those things... its almost like having reference monitors strapped to your head :P

+1 on the AKGs (Though I use K242HD)

[janco]

yea ive tried AKGs and love them. personally I use RP 21 (by equation audio a small company out of Kentucky i think)

is a review. basically they are minimal on the prettyness and max on driver quality. I've also used sennheiser HD 25 #1's, they are FUCKING AWESOME.

Has anyone tried Beyerdynamic DT150 Im looking for something i can wear for hours but can stand up to being tossed around when I travel.

[tekki]

I would opt for the DT-770/880 or the 990 tbh!

[djmoya]

DT 990's look very nice! I'm looking for a pair that will last me a while. So im torn between the DT line and the AKGs.

Beyerdynamic DT770 Rule (get the 80ohms version)

feel great, sound great (low Bass)

no surprises if you take you tracks out over a PA

I use the HDJ-2000, and find them to be particularly effective for producing compared to other DJ headphones. It captures all of the low frequencies clearly allowing you to hear every little detail. This means that you won't be surprised when you play the song in the club. Production wise nothing else I've listened to has come even close. Not even the Ultrasone DJ1.

I don't know what your price range is, but Sennheiser and Grado are the best as far as non-electrostatic headphones go. Sennhesier HD600 is industry standard for on the go headphone monitoring.
