it's a little more, but what about Audio-Technica ATH-M50x headphones? I've heard a lot of good reviews
I had a pair in the 90s too, made some of my best mixes with them. Amazing yours lasted so long!
Sadly many of the 'higher-end' headphones are too hard to drive from the iPad/iPhone output and need dedicated amps. I've settled with the ATH-M50X which I like a lot...
yeah, thats a good point. yeah, it's starting to look like that may be the direction I go. Ath m50x seems like the way to go
I spend my time between a pair of krk kns-8400, which are very comfy, nice sounding and light, feel flimsy but are sturdy. Also use a pair of apple ear buds, (in ear ones), not as comfortable, good for when I want no leakage at night, nice to have a different reference, that is very common.
Thought I'd keep this thread alive as it's an interesting topic...
My current choices are Audio Technica M50X for 'headphones' and a pair of old(~2009) Klipsch S4i for 'In-Ear' that I still love.
As the S4i's are pretty 'fragile' I'm looking for alternatives that could eventually replace them if/when they break...
So those of you who use in-ears I'd love to ask for advice on what brand/model and why?
The quality of your headphones won't matter if there isn't a 3.5 mm Jack on your device. I will opt to use my audio interface, unless some really good lightning headphones appear.
yeah, it has been an interesting thread. I just dug out some of my old headphones I had forgot about. they sound pretty great. they are Stanton dj 2000 headphones. just curious, has anyone used them for mixing? they actually sound way better than the current. Monster Dna headphones I was trying out( wich are way to bass heavy)
why is that? because of ohm resistance ?
Looks like future iPhones won't have a 3.5mm jack.
That's true, most audio-devices I have and use do have 6.3 or 3.5mm jack or other connection to which I connect my 'listening devices'
I'm still sceptical to the removal of 3.5mm Jack as it would have to be replaced with dual lightning 'hub' because how else are we going to be be able to use say a Lightning iRig Mic HD and 'monitor' the recordings if the only port is occupied by the device? (It's very handy to attach the iRig Mic HD to the Lightning port and monitor thru the headphone jack). And nah... Bluetooth is not a viable option for that...
Who knows maybe there will be 'lightning adaptors' with classic 3.5mm Input/Output as well as additional lightning ports for charging and using lightning devices attaching USB-Hubs etc...
The 'stupidest' reason for removing the 3.5mm jack is to make the device(s) even thinner. I say make it a few mm thicker and increase the battery life to cover at least one day of heavy usage
I just received a free set of Beats Powerbeats 2 Wireless with my iPad.
They are Bluetooth in-ear. Never used Beats before.
Could sell them sealed for around €100. Or use them myself... but worried about latency.
What do you guys say?
True, although I have been using DT990 (250ohm) with my iPad, it's okay with volume up.

Bluetooth wont generally work for mixing as most programs can't output to Bluetooth. Sell them to someone who wants a fashion accessory and get one of the headphones mentioned in the thread.
I like the Shure stuff myself, sounds great for the price and they've always been very sturdy. Haven't had a pair break on me yet, despite years of traveling in my pocket all over the world.
You’re going to protest loudly, fighting and pushing back, refusing to have them anywhere near you or even look at them, yet in the end actually trying them out?
Of course, headphones are the worst way to listen to anything — there’s no crossover, no catering for natural HRTF which leads to inaccurate HRIRs. The second worst way to listen to anything is speakers.
That's one reason I like CanOpener, shame there's not plug in version for iOS like there is for the desktop.
I use a Bluetooth receiver which works for most media and some synths. But I'm afraid the latency on these Beats will be frustrating when playing Synth apps. Probably gonna sell them.
Sadly, Shure 215s break a lot... mostly losing audio one ear after a while of not-rugged use... I love the sound and form factor so much, I own several, and keep sending them in for repair (often exchange) under warranty.
Another vote for the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x.
cool, I think this is going to be what I'm looking for
Also have a look at the Audio-Technica ATH-M70x. They're 'flatter' than the 50s, i.e. not base enhanced.
Built like a tank they were, had to replace the cable once, and the ear pads were pretty much due for replacement, but they sounded just as sweet as they ever did.
Still, the 702s I ordered should be here shortly and I can start a new love affair.
EDIT: Just arrived. Yay!
EDIT: And they're very nice. I actually really like the understated bass when listening to music too.
So after talking to you guys here. I bought the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x. I didnt even try them at the store. everybody here talked great about them, and i trusted you guys.
I have to say. they are amazing. Although i have only had about an hour to use them in a real mixing situaiton. they all ready have made a huge difference to the mix. They no longer sound muddy. And I am hearing all these subtle details in my synths that i have never heard before. fantastic. I highly recommend these cans. thank again for your help guys!
Nice! If my Sonys ever buy the farm I'll check these out.
