Can anyone suggest a pair of loud headphones? Posted on: 14.01.2013 by Rosina Stanford Right!I do a lot of rave events and require lightweight loud headphones that can keep up to the levels of my top cabinets at various venues, outdoors and so forth. I do not require a lot (if any) bass since I've always mixed on tops not bass. The most important factors are: Open ear (I don't want headphones that cover my ears to the point they will perspire) Lightweight (They must be able to come off instantly using one hand time to time throughout the events) Loud (I would estimate my tops have no less than 12,000 watts their disposal so the headphones must be very loud) | |

Thats how they were 25 years ago.. This is an example of what I am referring to… http://www.koss.com/en/products/head..._Ear_Headphone Cheers! |

| Alphonso Deitchman 14.01.2013 | Open/closed back headphones don't really affect how sweaty your ears get, that's more dependant on the material of the ear pads. |
| Maxie Miltz 14.01.2013 | check V Moda LPs |
| Margaretta Hebenstreit 14.01.2013 | Ok i don't get what open ear means... |
| Josie Kozyra 14.01.2013 | Have you ever tried mixing with IEMs? They could be an option for you, because of good isolation. |
