TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 It's a bit off topic, but what do folk recommend as good, affordable (i.e. 30-50) headphones that I can use when recording? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Senn's are simply an overly high concentration of sound to bear for long periods of time. I once borrowed a pair of open AKGs which were much better.

Stripey Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 My advice would be, don't get closed back headphones.Jan-Deal: You need closed-back headphones when recording (particularly in a less than ideal environment), because they're designed to prevent sound leakage and attenuate ambient external sound. They can be uncomfortable to wear for long periods because they are meant to grip your head tightly.I had some really comfy openbacked sennheisers, they sounded great and I could wear them for hours but utterly useless in any kind of recording context, imagine that annoying twat on the bus with his headphones amplified 100x and you will see why they aren't any good if you're trying to record a guitar part or a vocal while listening to the clicktrack or whatever.

KimyReizeger Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Ok. But if you value a balanced mind don't get HD25s. Most nights I leave my computer feeling as though I've entered an alternate reality of pain and hearing loss. It doesn't help that I have a kind of boob-job syndrome whereby, as soon as I settle on a level, it ceases to seem enough, and I continually increase. I generally only use them out of necessity, as opposed to using them like a second opinion on the sound, which is what I'm led to believe is the good and proper way.

As you turn it up the headphones start to distort and kill the dynamics, which sounds seductive at the time but becomes incredibly fatiguing and lies to you about what the mix actually sounds like.

Play.com (UK) : Sennheiser HD 25 SP Headphones : Electronics - Free DeliveryA bit expensive (for me), but I'd imagine that you get what you pay for. I suppose the lack of comfort is just something you have to accept if you want better sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundian Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Closed-back headphones are meant for monitoring only so I'm confused as to why people are wearing them for extended periods. Once the actual (mic) recording is done you should be using monitors or, if noise is an issue, open-backed headphones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Guitars:ESP Viper (I bought it when I was in hardcore bands. but now I just hate it. Looks too metal. Metal guitars are piss)G&L Tribute TelecasterYamaha 912J Pacificaand a cheapo Yamaha 112 Pacifica.And an even cheaper Yamaha ERG, my first guitar, pasted in stickers, with an EMG81 in the bridge.Amps:Marshall JCM2000 DSL50, Modded to get rid of the fizz, and add more warmth and crunch. Sounds less like a fizzy wanky metal fest now, and more like a JCM800Don't have a cab at the moment. I did have a Matamp cab which was the tits, but I had to sell it to move up here. Disaster.Pedals:Marshall Guv'nor, for boost.Boss tuner pedal.I'm pining for a Rickenbacker or a Gretsch of somekind though right now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cynic Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Just thought I'd agree with Soundian about 'phones......if I mix using phones the levels are usually all to pot, so I always use monitors. They're fine for actual recording though, especially if you've got thin walls! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're fine for actual recording though, especially if you've got thin walls! Stripey said that, although I have to agree as well. I use open backed headphones mostly to set up a basic mix; it's easier to hear little coughs, rustling paper etc and the stereo imaging is more accurate (how many drumkits have I heard that seem to be 30 feet wide, ugh). I'll check my final mix with my open phones as well because if it doesn't sound good on them as well I've done something wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Cynic Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Forgot to mention my occasionally-used Watkins Rapier 33.....great sound! I also have a Baldwin 12 string from 68 which sometimes gets a run out, and an old lute-guitar, which I use now & again for recording, but have only used live once.
