bary555 Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 ok. so i used the search, but didn't find a topic of which headphones do you all sound mixers use. for years i used classic 7506, but lately one side gave up. repaired them, but i'm thinking of getting something new. tried dt-770, sennheiser hd-25, hd-280pro and few more. didn't like them much... i'm leaning towards ATH-M50x. what do you guys use for everyday location recording?

RunAndGun Posted August 15 Report Share Posted August 15 Originally I had Sony 7509’s(a big part of it was I preferred the physical deign over the 7506)(still have one or two pair), then one of my guys turned me on to Ultrasone’s about eight years ago and the PRO 900’s* have been the ‘A’ set, ever since. *I got them for about half of what they are selling for, now.

Tuhiva Posted August 17 Report Share Posted August 17 ATH-M50X...very awful for listening to music (ok for movie), but very good (at least to my ears) to judge if the background noise will be manageable in post.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted August 18 Report Share Posted August 18 Sennheiser HD 280Pro or Sennheiser HD25ii. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attila Posted September 14 Report Share Posted September 14 Try the Beyerdynamic Custom Studio. Nice price tag. Unspectacular dry but precise sound but works really great. Also die listening to music. I recommend to switch the earpads from velours to leather dir better Isolation. You can get the earpads in eBay or AliExpress. https://a.aliexpress.com/_mO8jlbz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcminute Posted September 15 Report Share Posted September 15 HD-25II's. Tough, comfortable ( with the velvet ear pads), stay on your head when you bend over thanks to the split dual band and their lightness, neat 90 deg socket works better with recorders in a bag than straight ones, sound good enough to hear what's being recorded although wouldn't use them for mixing / mastering in the studio.

I love my Neumann NDH20‘s. Very solid build, and they feel solid on the head and they sound really good, especially the midrange. Good for long sessions, too. I also really like my HN-7506‘s for when I need more isolation, but I‘m not a huge fan of the sound of the 7506, so that‘s a drawback. Remote Audio should really make a HN-25… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Neumanns? Yes, they are 150 Ohms and I do plug them straight into the recorder. No issues with the Scorpio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Flowers Posted Sunday at 04:30 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 04:30 PM When I was working (I am more than 15 years retired) everyone in film sound was using Beyerdynamic DT48s. I've got a pair hanging up next to me now! Quite expensive - they were abut £250 back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
