High End Headphones With Accurate Bass Response

[dach]

That's a good list. No offense RB, but I hate the 280's and mine have ZERO bass.... but you can crank up the level on those guys with no bleed into the mic.

I still use AKG 240M's most of the time. I also tried the in-ears which wouldn't mold well with my ears, I was lucky they allowed me to return them.

I actually looked real hard for some inexpensive cans, and after trying a bunch, decided to stay with the 240M's. My next choice is the Grado's but I really need them for tracking, not mixing...

The AKG 240s seam to be the standard...kind of like Les Paul / Marshall for rock guitar, or NS-10s for monitoring.

Maybe I should check these out some time.

I've got a pair of old SONYs 7509s (japanese), and recently bought the same chinese cans, although the price was the same, they sound completely different, to say less.. I just threw it away, my oldies are screaming, but they do it right for me. The only cans I could work with before were KOSS XTC-pro, they broke soon, and for some reason were discontinued by KOSS. But my mixes made with them alone translated everywhere well.

I'll go ahead and update it then. The #1 reason I check my mixes on my ATH-M50s is for the low end...particularly the kick drum which I always make too loud on my Mackies.
