Need Help With Headphones Choice Options

[straydog]

Simple question:

Which pair of headphones do you think would be best for studio use with a budget of up to 300 euros?


(Resellers here refuse to order such "expensive" headphones just for me to hear them out myself. Life is hard for musicians in Greece)

Thanks in advance

I have some Sennheiser 280s as well & can testify to their comfort & Utilty. If you want noise cancelling headphones that are cheap (though not especially portable & a little heavy on your head) Vic Firth makes some for around 50 bucks US. I wouldn't recommend working with headphones too often or mixing with them, they will trash your hearing & your mixes will suck. My ears ring constantly & I would prefer that they wouldn't (I grew up with a walkman & loud guitars & have worked in construction for 10 years...so it goes). Think also about some cheap, portable monitors....m-audio makes some small Studio Pro 3 monitors that aren't too loud & translate pretty well when you listen to your mixes on other systems & they only cost 100 bucks US.
