Decent Cans, Decent Price

Looking for a decent set of cans for monitoring, producing voiceover, would appreciate rec's and experiences, needs to stay on for extended period without
major skull compression.

couple of items on the radar

Sennheiser EH 150's at ~$20
Moreme deluxe ~ $30 + S&H


many thanks..

i just bought a pair of Audio-technica Pro5 ms.. they sound good, and feel good.. although i havent used them on a session yet... and they are a little more expensive then the others you listed..
but they also come in bad-ass camo!!

i recommend them thumbsup

It's going to be hard to do this in your price range.

Best bet: Audio Technica ATM40fs

Shop around. I've seen them go for around $55

i'll tell you what. i used to get nice headphones for the studio and would seriously replace them at least every 3 months. then i got 4 pairs of the more me delux (the fact that they dont have one of those crappy attachments to turn a 1/8" jack to 1/4" jack rules....mannnnnn i hate those attachments) since then i havent had one problem with headphones. no one side going out becasue of bad connections. no blowing up. no falling off heads that are rocking really hard. i still have some nice jawns for doing vox and what have ya, but those moreme headphones are great for laying down basic tracks.

sorry, just reread that this will be for mixing and crucial listening. i wouldnt throw the moremes in that catagory.

Can Cans

Thanks everyone for the recs, strictly from noob experience, just exactly what is risk of using a moreme over say the slicker AT models...

The MoreMe deluxe's are great, but I wouldn't try mixing with them.. for tracking, which they are designed, they are great.. and for 30 bucks? Amazing...

They may actually be good for leveling.
