Headphones for mixing

Hi, what are your favourite headphones for mixing? I know they won't replace monitors, but still I need good ones for this task. Thanks.

That's an excellent point, Tom. One of the reasons I thought the headphones were so great is because my mix sounded terrible when I first listened through the 750s! Like you said, they force you to really work on getting a great mix -- which then ends up sounding great everywhere else (the car, home stereo, etc.). When I first got them, the higher frequencies were very harsh. After leaving them playing on my home stereo for several days straight, the harshness went away, and I'm left with what I consider to be some outstanding headphones.

Brian....I just got my 750's today.
After years with Sony 7506's I thought they were broken when I put them on. They were cloudy and dark and I didn't like what I heard at all. After a bit, I took them off, and listened to the mix on my Adam monitors. The mix was....well....cloudy and dark.
These phones are about as close to what I'm actually hearing out of the monitors as I've heard. After working all day today with them, it's the first pair of phones that when A/B with the monitors I don't feel like I've been buried in a treble booster all day. Very cool. The monitors were more revealing yes, but the overall sound and balance was what was in the phones. These are definitely keepers. They are not "hi hype" phones at all, rather flat and make you work at the mix. Pretty darned cool.

Bluetooth Headphones for Sport (BH-503 or other......

Hi there,
I need some new headphones for my Nokia N79 and thought I might try for some wireless ones. I like the look of the Nokia NH-503 ones. They're nice looking, have nothing that hangs round your neck like there are on most wireless headphones and they look like they clip on your ear for stability when jogging or something. I looked at the compatibility list and the N79 isn't on there. I emailed Nokia who confirmed that the BH-503 is not compatible with the N79 much to my shock and awe. I find this completely ridiculous. I was pointed in the direction of several innapropriate, ugly or expensive alternatives like the 504, 103, 903 and 604.
Does anyone know if the BH-503 is actually compatible and that Nokia just haven't tested it so are saying it isn't?
Looks like I'll be going for some wired non-Nokia branded headphones if not, which sort of sucks, I think.
Thanks,
Nick.

Just in case anyone is interested, the Nokia BH-503 Bluetooth Headphone DO WORK with the Nokia N79 despite what Nokia UK have told me. I took the plunge and purchased them after being sure they should work based on the Tech Specs I've found and lo and behold they do. Amazing. They're excellent headphones and I'd highly recommend them!

Best wireless headphones for 5G?

I want to get wireless headphones for my 5G iPod. There seem to be three models from Logitech - the black ones, the white ones (more expensive for some reason), and the new "Free Pulse" with the stronger headband section.
From what I have found, you have to use a short adapter cable to make the original Logitech headphones work. Does anybody know if this is the case with the new model "Free Pulse" too? I would prefer to have one that plugs directly into my iPod so I still only have to carry around one unit rather than the iPod plus a little attachment.
If NONE of them plug right in...has anybody tried using PSP headphones with their iPod? I believe that also works as a little attachment rather than connecting directly, but I'm not sure. The PSP wireless headphones are cheaper than the iPod ones, I've noticed.
So has anybody had any good experiences with wireless headphones for your 5G iPod? Which do you recommend? I want to keep the cost as low as possible but I do still want a decent product.

Wireless headphones for my Toshiba 22LV505

I am trying to hook up wireless headphones for my 90-year-old father to his Toshiba 22LV505. He is extremely hard of hearing but my mom is not. Can you tell me what device(s) I need to get and how I can hook up his wireless headphones so that he can hear the TV through them and my mom can watch and listen to the TV (without headphones) at the same time? I am technically challenged so please make your response as low-tech as you can. Thanks for your help.

Best replacement Headphones for ipod

My family has seven ipods of different sizes and ages. We are constantly stealing each others' ear buds, losing them and breaking them. Every time I look for replacements, either Apple brand or 3rd party, it seems the reviews regarding quality are spotty at best.
What are the best options for replacing ipod ear phones?
Thanks!

Well, the Bose In-Ear Headphones are pretty good, high-quality, but expensive and don't really help with the Classic's lack of volume.
I have two sets of headphones, both made by Skullcandy (available at Best Buy - at least that's where I got mine). One is their Over-the-Ear Headphones, which have a BASS-Booster built in, and the other is their In-Ear Headphones, which have a volume adjuster on the cord, which does boost the volume just a bit without losing any quality that I can notice.
And you can purchase BOTH sets of the Skullcandy headphones for the price of the highly-rated Bose In-Ear headphones. Personally, if you're looking for a new set of In-Ear Headphones ... I'd go with the ones from Skullcandy.

Since I've updated to iOS 6 I am unable to use the next/back buttons from Headphone for audio book chapters.

Since I've updated from iOS 5 to iOS 6 I am unable to use the next/back buttons from Headphone for audio book chapters.
This is working fine for albums but are broken for audio books.
The back button refers always to the first chapter of the audio book (very annoying if you are in the middle of an audio book) and the nex button goes one level higher back to the selection of the audio book itself.
In iOS 5.0 it was still possible to navigate throught the audio book chapters using these buttons.
This still happens in iOS 6.1.
Is this a known bug?
Does any solution exist?
Thx,
Oliver

To gdgmacguy your a f****** idiot for one I'm having the same problem as pennymar. And you tell me to quit whinning. You got more problems then the iOS 6 you did not answer my question nor the other 13 or whatever you replied to within a 30 min time frame. You must got nothing better to do then to harass people and to pretend you know something about apple products. Which you don't from what I've read the other advices you should have gave to other people. But you didn't you replied a question back to the people asking a question. So if your not gonna use these community forums the right way don't use them at all.

Special headphones for iPhone4?

Do I need special headphones for the iPhone4?
When I plug my headphones into the iPhone4, the sound comes out of the phone speaker instead of the headphones.
The same result whether the silent switch is on or off.
My headphones are generic headphones with volume contol on the cord.
My headphones work in all my other devices except the iPhone4.
When I play a YouTube video on the iPhone4, the sound plays thru the speaker regardless whether the silent switch is on or off.
Comments?
Thanks.
Martin

The remote on my headphones isn't working. Any suggestions of how to get it working would be much welcomed.
Thanks

Best Headphones for x-fi fatali

Hello,
i am planning to buy a soundblaster x-fi fatality next week.
Currently i am using the speedlink medusa 5. headset, but i am not pleased with this headset.
As long as i am buying a quite expensi've (imo) soundcard, I want the headset to match perfectly to that card.
I am going to use the headphones for the following purposes: playing games (Battlefield 2, Everquest 2, GT Legends, Age of Empires II) and listening to music.
I thought about buying the Sennheiser PC 60 Headset, but i am afraid, that this one doesn?t fit exactly to the x-fi: i read in a test, that the simulated surround sound works best with headphones, that cover the whole ear (hope that you know what i mean).
Does someone have experiences, with this hardware combination?
Or can you recommend some headsets?
Maybe it'ss even better to buy some good headphones and use a seperate microphone?
Thanks in advance for your help

You should do a forum search on this topic - it has been posted a few times and the responses contained the info you seek.
Good luck with your new card. I have a fatalty and like it very much. You will love how good BF2 sounds.

Best headphones for working out? Shure E2C or Bose In ear TriPort?

I want some good headphones for my Nano (2nd gen) while I'm working out (jogging).
My wife gave me the Bose In Ear TriPort for Xmas, and while the sound is very good, the right tends to "loosen up" easily. I can return within 30 days, hence I need opinions on other headphones for working out.
I have read positive reports on the Shure E2C and the Sennheiser MX 70.
Does anybody have any experience using these headphones during workouts? I am looking for great sound but more importantly, a set of in ear phones that stay secure while working out. I do not want heavy bass either.
All opinions are appreciated.
Thanks

I have the E2c and they are great. The only caveat I have are the sleeves. It comes with 3 types, flex, soft flex, and foam. They all come in 3 sizes also. The best fit that works for me are the foam. They stay in your ear and provide excellent isolation.
Here is the site to read about them.

After using headphones for about an hour both my built-in speak and head phone stop working

After using headphones for about an hour both my built-in speak and head phone stop working, what could be wrong? I have checked system preferences and all appears ok there but still no sound

Your put your Air into sleep mode with headphones attached, I assume.
Upgrade to the latest OS to resolve that issue.

Recommendations for headphones for MacBook Pro.

I'm looking for a good pair of headphones for my MacBook Pro. I'm not sure I'm an audiophile, but I do appreciate excellent equipment and sound so high fidelity is important. With that, so is comfort. I'm not a big fan of earphones that fit inside one's ears, though my brother-in-law's Etymotic Research ER6i sounded great. I'm leaning toward the Grado SR 80. They're certainly not very portable in terms of tossing them in my computer bag as compared to the ERs, but it'd imagine they're going be more comfortable. Someone told me that the Grados need a good sound card for them to shine. He wasn't familiar with Macs, but assumed the MacBook Pro's audio output would be fine. I have no dealer in my area, so auditioning them is out. I'd appreciate hearing of anyone's experience with these and a MacBook Pro or other suggestions. Thanks.

I have the same computer. I use the Bose "noise-cancelling" Quiet Comfort 2 headset. They are somewhat expensive ($350), but they work well on commercial airlines (lowers jet engine noise), especially if you travel a lot. I also use these headphones at work to block out background noise.
I have had mine for well over a year with no complaints. I suggest going to an Apple or Bose store to check them out.
