I'm stuck between the ATH-M50 and Sennheiser HD580 headphones for mixing. I know that headphones aren't the best for mixing, but I plan on using them mainly for checking if the EQ is right and using speakers for checking levels and panning. Both of these headphones get good reviews for mixing and seem to be the best in the sub $150 price range. Does anyone have experiences with the two?
