producers - what headsets you use?
Posted on: 27.10.2010 by Nikki Mcpeek
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 evening 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 use my 5-year old Sennheiser HD25, I also use them for DJ'ing and in the last 5 years I only had to replace the cushions, besides that they still look brand new.
Best HPs I've ever had!

I use AIAIAI TMA-1 now. Because mastering i dont do myself and really low and high frequencies i cut out anyway with the EQ. Tma-1 has really nice bass and highs so it will help you not turn the volumes too high. kinda nice gimmicky club feel in ur headset. For me they are the best so far

gonna get slated for this but, I have a pair of 'Dre's. I bought them for when I started college and have opened my ears to aspects of tracks I had never heard before. Plus great for producing.

AKG 240s. They're the shit. Long ass cable, comfortable design, only tiny flaw is the lower mids get a little grating on the ears after 6+ hours but that's hardly a fatal flaw.

sennheiser hd 25-ii's for me. i can only compare them to cheapo consumer sony brands.... by which the hd's blow outta the water (of course) in terms of separation and definition between sounds. i can have the eq all flat and still hear what the bass and kicks are doing.

I won't use anything other than IEM's, Shure are my current brand. I been using IEM's for production at evening 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.

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'd be upgrading from some five year old headphones.
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

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?
