How to Pick out The Best Studio Headphones for Music Production

By Jr. Huff


Finances - Whenever looking at buying stuff for audio it is extremely simple to spend countless funds on gear. There is in fact a keyword just for this, it is called a "gear slut". The reality is you will never possess all the music production equipment you really want and you will always wish for more. Always obtain the best quality you are able to with the capital you possess. That or just save until you can get your idea item.

How comfortable are the headphones? Can you see yourself with the pair of headphones on for hours at a time? You will be working on music for long periods of time and you are unlikely to use a pair of headphones that are not comfortable. I used to have a couple of gaming headphones and I cherished them but over very long periods of time they would hurt my head I'm no longer using those headphones.

How does the pair of headphones sound? - This will be a given but I thought I will throw it in. Really listen to what the headphones are doing to your music.

What is the difference between Closed and Open Back Studio Headphones?

Looking at headphones you will notice that some headphones contain the drive facing out and several in. The types that have the driver facing in are known as "closed back headphones" as the headphones driver is enclosed. These are typically less expensive and certainly are a good starter set of studio quality headphones.

The down side is there is less room regarding bass to develop and you'll have less acoustic interaction as everything is "enclosed". Two solid pairs of these would be Sony's MDR-7506s that I personally own and ATH-M50s. If I did it again I'd be going with the M50s even so the 7506s were required when i went to school for audio production and I cannot justify spending $120 with a minimum return in audio quality.

Open Back Headphones

When the drivers are facing out there're known as "open back headphones". This allows some sound to escape and generally enables better bass does respond. They tend to be a little more pricey but most music engineers prefer them for mixing. There're not as beneficial for tracking with as these bleed sound out which will come through while recording.

No two ears are the same and it is all about the music. Take time listen, and with these tips you will have a better ideas of what the best studio headphones are for your music production.
