    Exclamation producers - what headsets you use?

    when it comes to producing, what headsets do you use and feel that they really REALLY help you in music production and this is when you cannot use your monitoring speakers because of a late night issue.

    and i know many go through this so music production headsets is important as an alternative to monitoring speakers when you cant bang the music anymore?

    so what sets do you use and love?

    I've been looking at v-moda crossfade lp's for a while now, haven't gotten a chance to demo them yet, but i've heard nothing but good reviews of them.

    and those are monitoring headphones? so are you making a huge upgrade or do you already own monitoring sets that you use in your productions?



    anyone else?

    They look to be aimed a little more towards DJing than production work. Here's their website:

    I'd be upgrading from some five year old headphones.

    Ultrasones by far, best sounding headphones out there and are good for extended listening

    they look pretty cool although they are not music production headsets they seem like they will do the job by 85% and if hooked on to a mp3 player it doesnt require a lot of power. idk mayb i'd buy it one day. but first i need some producing monitoring good sets

    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.
