Types of Headphones
Forums
Okay so I want some really nice professional headphones. I have done some research but I have no idea what some of the terms mean. Like what is the difference between mixing, tracking, and monitoring headphones? Also should I get studio headphones or audiophile headphones? I intend to use them for the soul purpose of listening to music and watching movies.

Headphones repair?
Forums
Hi everyone
I've got the AKG k240 headphones, which I love. After 1-2 years of using them, I noticed that its left side stops working.
I must shift around the wires on top to get the left side to work again. But as I slightly move, the left side goes off again >.>

Mackie monitors or Sennheiser headphones?
Forums
I'm trying to do the best I can to monitor and mix my own stuff with a really low budget. I can't afford more than $200 right now, and I'm working in an untreated room. Through craigslist, I have the choice of a pair of Mackie MR5s or a pair of Sennheiser 598 headphones. They're the same price. Any recommendations?

Headphones OR Monitors?
Forums
Only have $200 to spend. This is all I have to work with so please just list ones you would think are the closest to natural sound.
Either I buy ATH M-50 headphones. They are $120 and said to be flat, natural sounding.

Can this Audio Interface work with these Headphones
Forums
Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 USB interface
Analog Output Impedence is 10 ohms
New to all of this, so I am wondering if I could use these headphones without the need of a seperate headphone amp.
These headphones are the ones I have researched and am trying to decide which one to get for best flat, neutral sound in my price range.

90% buzzing 10% Audio-- laptop to headphone amp -- Need help--
Forums
HI,
The Setup:
I am using a laptop for my DAW/Sound output to my Headphone distribution amp. The laptop output is a headphone output not a line-out output. My Headphone amp has a 1/4 stereo direct input and the laptop has a 1/8 output. I use a 1/8 to 1/8 cable with a 1/8 to 1/4 stereo to stereo adapter.

Live Sound Headphones
Forums
I need to buy a new pair of monitoring headphones and was just wondering what people on here use for live sound monitoring?
Some of the specifications I am looking for are closed back, encapsulating the ear completely, comfortable headband, single lead from one side and neutral response.

Good recording headphones?
Forums
Pretty self explanatory, i want to buy some over the ear headphones for recording. Someone i know recommended Sennheiser but i just want to explore all my options. I dont mind going up to 100$ or so, but what are the biggest differences between something like 50 and 100? I dont want something that enhances the sound too much cause i want to really hear what I'm mixing.
