Subject: Re: [motm] OT: Headphone Recommendations

Actually the question about headphones also needs to be accompanied with
whether you plan to use them for mixing. If so then you may want headphones
with a flat response that are made for mixing. I have a pair of
Audio-Technica phones for that, model ATH-M40fs. I believe AKG also has
something similar.

If just for listening the I second the the Sony MDR-7506. They are very
popular, very comfortable and sound great. They are the professional version
of the commercial version, the MDR-V6 which is no longer available. What
that means is Sony changed the model number and color of the label on the
MDR-7506 compared to the MDR-V6 so they could charge considerably more for
them. The MDR-V6 used to sell for as low as $70, the MDR-7506 sell for $100
just about everywhere.
