Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | I did a LOT of research on headphones, and came up with Sony 7506 Studio Monitor headphones. If you are just watching TV and see someone with headphones on, chances are they are the Sony 7506. You can't miss'em cause they say "Studio" across the top of the headband. Anyway, I have tried many in both studio and live environments. When you get in the $100+ range, it starts to come down to taste. A few of the things nice about the 7506 are they have a long cord, handle high volumes, and sound pretty much the same at all volumes. They can be had for about $100 from most sources. |

There is a worm (latest MyDoom variant) that is hitting Google pretty hard today (well, it was this morning). Infected computers from certain locations scan the local addressbook, then do Google searches for email addresses in the same domain (the @xxx.yyy part) and attempt to perpetuate the infestation via email to any addys it finds. So, yeah, Google is getting hammered. :) The virus/worm writers are asshats, IM!HPO, but the people who run systems that are ripe for infection (read: no protection) are right up there with them.
Now, onto the topic:
I have a pair of Sony MDR-V700DJ which I use when playing with Sonar and my synth gear. Very nice, not terribly expensive (but not cheap either). I don't know how they compare to the "Studio" models, though. I was going to get a set of powered near-field monitors, but I find the headphones help keep a happy home. :) |

Location: Scotland | In Europe, especially for broadcast the industry standard are Beyer Dynamic DT100's. They sound good and every single component is available as a replacement part, so potentially their working lifespan is indefinite. The Beyer DT150's sound better but cost a lot more. I haven't tried these in a studio environmemt but I'm quite impressed with the Bose "noise cancelling" headphones. If you want really good headphones be prepared to spend a lot more than you think is reasonable. The difference between $40 & $100 headphones can be difficult to perceive. The difference between $100 & $200+ can be massive |
