Production Headphones

[Barely Human]

I know there's been a few threads on this before, didnt really turn up any answers for me though. Should I go for closed back, open back, or in ear? I know a few people seam to rate the in ear ones now. Also, any recomendations? Looking to spend up to around 100 quid mark. Been using A7's for the last year, so I want something quite flat with a good mid-high response. Someone also posted a link to a really good site for headphone reviews a while ago. Cant find it now though.

Cheers guys.

Try the shure e4-c's... They're quality

I used beyer 770s for a bit, but the shures are more comfortable, more detailed, less fatiguing and the response is brilliant.

Plus you can use them with your walkman, and they're small and practical to carry around.

Hd 25s are great for djing

Not so great for production.

[detfella]

i think hd25s are fine for production, i would say use what you are used to.

Thanks for the help. Ive ordered some Shure E3C's. I'll post a review when I get them.

why did you choose e3c over e4c?
Very little price difference between the two if you shop around, and you get more for your money with e4c
(sorry, probably not a helpful comment at this point)

Becuase the E4c's were 50% more than the E3c's and it was well over my budget:lol: Should be ok though, they have pretty good reviews. To be honest, im not expecting too much anway after using Adams for 12 months. Ah well, beggers cant be choosers.

Well, had them a few days now. Really quite impressed. Good balance to them and they go really low. A little uncomfortable for long use, but better sounding then many traditional studio headphones ive used. Found the foam sleaves to be the best for comfort and sound, just have to see how long they last.

Just make sure you keep your receipt IQ.
I hope the higher end models have a better build quality, but I have returned about 5 or 6 pairs of E2C's over the years.
You get 2 years limited warranty with the Shures, but if you get any problems, just phone Shure Distribution UK for a returns number.

The E range has just been discontinued and replaced with the SE series.
I can't help wonder if that is due to the reliability problems?
