    Default Headphones for many - what did i get myself into~!

    Hey all, firstly apologies if this is in the wrong place. Recently i have had the opportunity to bring in an 8 peice band into my considerably small "studio". The space works out and the members have agreed to a kind of crazy recording process. However i need some headphones for these guys. I personally rely heavily on my Senn HD-280's but i have a pair and im going to need a least a few more pairs for all these players. The good part is their will be no more than three recroding at the same time. So essentially im in need of about three new pairs of headphones. In my search to spen no more than 150 bucks i came across these most likely lousy Noise HUsh NX22 headphones. Any suggestions to keep that "professional" stigma and give these guys the monitor they need would be great

    Headphones for monitoring don't need to be top notch. As long as the sound is decent and they are closed (to stop leakage from both sides) it should be fine. If you can go and listen to them first it would be best.
    You could look at some ATH-M20 for monitoring. They go around 30$. Never used them though but they have good reviews.
    Take into consideration the bassist and drummer. They need to hear some low frequencies, and in this price range, it could be harder to find headphones having some lows, even more precise ones.

    HD202s make passable monitoring phones. Decent isolation, good enough low end extension for bass and kick monitoring. Long cable too, which helps rather a bit.

    Thanks guys! Your advice is appreciated, this session is going to begin on Tuesday of next week so these amazon prices are making me feel like a fish in a puddle as they surely wouldn't get to me in time. And my local guitar center does not carry those HD202s....but i wish they did, at least close to that price. I think my best bet is to make my way over there....smh. The low end is important to me for the drummers performance, but mainly i feel like i (sounds crazy i know) just need a "good looking" professional looking headset to make up for all the un-professional gaps in my set up..lol. But if all goes well i should make back the price of these cans and gain some new customers!

    I've been eyeballing the More Me headphones as I ran into a similar situation and my current rig ain't so great at accommodating the huge bands.
