Headphones - Sony MDR-V700DJ vs Beats by Dr. Dre?
I am looking to buy some new headphones mainly for studio monitoring at odd hours, and also for casual music listening. I've had my eye on the Sony MDR-V700DJs for a while now, and especially since they seemed to have dropped in price, because the reviews were solid, and I really like the design (flip ear cups, thick headband, etc.).
However, I've recently been looking into Beats. They seem more geared toward casual listening, but I have to admit their overall style and claimed excellent bass are alluring.
Has anyone used any for studio monitoring or casual listening? Thoughts?
Thanks.
The beats are no good for monitoring - too bass heavy, you risk mixing your tracks with not enough bass through normal flat eq systems. I personally recommend you check out the senheisser hd-25 mk2, they're basically as close to the original source as you can get, and still sound great with an ipod etc. They're pretty much the standard for engineering though.
Out of the two though, I'd say the sony ones.
