Absolutely agree with you about the comfort, soundstage, and audio quality of the Sennheiser 598s. Keep a pair next to my chair in the family room for music and cinema.
Since I got a pair of Blue Mo-Fi on a screaming USD189 sale they have become my main phones though. Closed back, very comfortable with their race car looking suspension, and a built in Fiio amp. No bass accentuation unless you want it. Great isolation. Relatively flat with the amp on, very flat with amp off. Good soundstage for closed backs but not as open as the 598s.
If you don't have practical experience with a variety of headphones at different levels, Doug's rundown is excellent information.
If you do have tons of headphones knowledge (or believe so), the review is still brilliant to see why a particular musician/producer selects different types of cans.
Seriously, it's important to learn why mixing on some beats by Dre or something isn't the best idea. You'll get the opinion that mixing on headphones is a huge no-no anyway but I've always disagreed with that.
First, it's good to check mixes on more than one source so listening on monitors, headphones, car stereos are all key to achieving a well balanced mix. But I also think if you KNOW your headphones like the back of your hand and will reference the mix on something else, the bulk of the early editing, mixing, EQ shaping, etc. can absolutely be done on headphones, especially in the iOS production realm as one of it's draws is mobility and being self contained.
My workhorse headphones are Sony-MDR 7506's, have a pair from the mid '90's and a new pair. I am so familiar with that headphone I can mix with them no problem.
Thanks again Doug for the cool rundown.
Sigh. Am the Imelda Marcos of headphones. Know nothing, want all. What times we live in though, when finally these accoutrements (additional items of dress or equipment, or other items carried or worn by a person or used for a particular activity) are accepted out in the public sphere and no longer (NO LONGER!) are we who were born with such proclivities and violent desire made to walk the dark roads of shame etc.
Thanks Doug.
Being a long time Sennheiser user, after rather unfortunate experiences with other brands, I am sort of biased: if it's Sennheiser, it's better than the competition.
I use a HD280 for tracking (very robust and great value) and a HD650 for mixing (the only I tested that could get close to the results I get with good nearfields and a properly treated room). Both are very comfortable for hours-long usage.
Sometimes I mix with the HD280 on the go (my HD650 never leave my house) and get pretty decent results if I have good references to A/B and also pay attention to the spectrum meters.
I had Ford Cortina (MK 3) that six of us sweaty buggers used to pile into after recording something on a cassette in the rehearsal studios. Always late, Wandsworth, windows up, light a joint, have a listen. It's true that the stereo in that thing cost more than the car did, but I used to always imagine it was the body shape which made it the best possible place to listen to almost anything.
