The Sony MDR-V6/7506 (same thing, different price) is probably the one you were referred to. I wouldn't say it's loud (unless you turn the volume up), but it is just slightly bright, which is a good thing, because it helps you hear detail and things like hiss. It also has fantastic low frequency extension, so you can hear things like microphone rumble (which you can't on most nearfield monitors, unless you have a really good sub). I would have to disagree with the HD600 as a monitoring headphone. It's fine for "pleasure" listening, but I would not use it for critical listening -- the upper frequency extension is too laid back, so you'll be straining to hear detail. It's also open, which makes it a bad choice for mixing. > Doesen't really matter to me- any monitor/headphone you buy will > need to be "learned" - This is brilliant advice. Whatever you do, learn it. I also agree with the advice of listening to your mix on multiple platforms -- even a mono one -- before distribution. > The only thing that I hate about the MDR-7506 is the suction on > my ears with bass notes, ugggh! Not sure I understand this, but if you're talking about the pad, there's actually a mod for this. I forget which model, exactly, but you buy a replacement pad for one of the Beyer's, and put it on. It's on here somewhere: http://www.head-fi.org/ This is where I get most of my advice. (I actually know more about headphones than looping. I have...[does a quick count]...over 10 pairs of headphones. And growing.) > for mixing I'd have to reccommend the AKG 240S. I've heard good things about those, too. I'll have to get a pair (see?).

But again, not the last word in detail. -- I remain, :-Peter aka :-Dusty :-Chalk
