I compare the top studio headphones out there! I test the sound quality, build quality, sound stage, frequency response, mixing, tracking, vocal recording, bass, midi, and treble, and I even test them with a headphone amp. These are the best studio headphones out right now. And one of them is under $50! Wow! I provide my top recommendations from these headphones as well. These headphones are the best selling and best quality for the price. Headphones include the Beyerdynamic, Audio Technica, Sennheiser, Neumann, Slate, and AIAIAI.

@joelnapolitano4152 7 ай бұрын

I love my DT 770 80ohms, but I must say using them for the first time was quite confronting. The lack of Bass response and the very revealing midrange took a little to get used to compared to what I was using previously. However these are perfect for mixing sound that requires less bass response such as vocals and guitars. You can really hone in on the troublesome frequencies especially in the midrange, upper midrange and highs. I tend to use my monitors and sub to balance the low and sub low frequencies. Its a great method that works for me. Great to see what others use and how they get their results.

Excellent advice for the beginner producer. For me, I use Audio Technica ATH M30X and ATH M50X, as well as Sennheiser HD 400 PRO, Beringher BH470 and One0dio Studio 10 (not recommended other than casual listening). Always great advice. Always accurate information. Always good... Always Sanjay C.

@rionvalet 8 ай бұрын

I really l like the HD600 the most on this list. It has one of the best frequency response on a headphone that is right for mixing & mastering because of it's spaciousness & detail. I used the Audio Technica M20x for 3 years now, & the right side of the headphone is not working anymore just a week ago. But nonetheless, It was a great experience making music with the M20x! :) Right now it's hard for me, because I lost my M20x that started my journey on music. That's why thank you so much Sanjay for sharing these recommendations!❤ It helps me pick what would be my next headphone. Really appreciate your efforts on this one!🙌

i also use m50x and i got really used to them and loved their sound.. BUT UNFORTUNATELY my friend, once i started mixing for others and exporting more music out there, I realized that on average in cars and speakers and other headphones that my bass was flatter and my mids were HIGHER than i had mixed them!! thats a huge problem for me!! and go figure i then realized that the m50 BOOSTS the bass and lowers the mids! - and my friend that was jus NOT ACCEPTABLE so now I am really looking to either change to the m40 or the DT's

I'd definitely pick the Audio-Technica M40X! It's a really nice, balanced option for everything, and the biggest bang for your buck, especially compared to the M50X. It makes more sense. It also really helps that it's so flexible, meaning I could still hear other things and people. Plus, I could take it everywhere much more easily. The comfort is good enough still as well.

@ebinrock 4 ай бұрын

I use the M40x at my work, but I work in video production, so it's strictly for field camera monitoring, not music production. I only wish they had velour earpads rather than the vinyl (same for the headband), because the vinyl flakes apart on your ears in no time.

@singingfan 2 ай бұрын

@@ebinrockI have a pair of the m50’s and I’ve had the same thing happening. They’ve started flaking. I also find that they get warm with long wear sessions which makes them more uncomfortable. After only having them a couple years, only one side works. Not sure if it’s the cord or not. It’s too bad because I loved them until I now kinda don’t. I wish they were more comfortable and that they lasted longer. Now I’m using my AirPod Pros while I figure out which headphones to get.
