Monitor headphones.
I should change my monitor headphones, but I do not know which is
te best for my work: to digitalize old tape recording. Now I use a Sony DR-6M. Price max 500$. Thank. Sergio Fucchi Macerata Italy. |

Two very classic, high-resolution choices: Sony MDR 7506 Sennheiser HD-580 In the US you can buy two each for a little over $500. |

Thank. Sergio Fucchi Macerata Italy. In addition to Arnie's suggestions, I'd look at the 'budget-priced' audio-technica m40fs. They work for me, I used them exclusively while I was transferring 8-track to digital. I paid $75 US. You don't need to spend $500 to get good reference headphones. The main characteristic of 'studio' headphones is the relatively flat frequency repsonse. The transition from consumer monitoring to studio monitoring can be disorienting - you may not like what you hear at first, because the recording is more accurately represented than it is with consumer gear. So a lot of ugliness that was covered up before may suddenly appear, as well as a lot of beauty. That's the point. jb |

(note the Sennheiser bias, just what I'm used to) Sennheiser HD-600 (get a decent amp) open air, excellent phones. HD-580 is very similar for less $$ Sennheiser HD-280 Pro (works on anything) excellent isolation but not as refined as above. Macerata Italy. http://www.musicians-gear.com/ has competetive pricing and isn't too far from you. |

I would recommend checking out the Grado line of cans, I use the SR125s and find them to be excellent. My 02c. Edwin -- Remove the*obvious to reply |
