hello all ..i want ask ..i have a bad acoustic room with no basstrap or something acoustic treatment ..i want just buy a headphone which can translate the sound to another sistem ..is audio technica ath - m50 is good ?or there is another headphone ?i had budget $200 ..thx

p.s
sorry if my english bad ..ehe

the senheiser hd280s are a great starter pair of headphones, but if your room sounds bad that's going to be a problem for tracking as well as mixing. also, you shouldn't ONLY mix on headphones...although sufjan stevens mixed all of his "michigan album" on just a pair of akg's

thats why i use headphone ..i'm only tracking guitar, bass and vocal ..guitar and bass i use direct ..so i not be a problem ..but vocal i use vocal booth ..so its get a better sound ..ehe

In the $200 price range I'll give a vote to Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro.

Haven't tried Sennheiser HD280 or the Audio Technica, so I got no idea how DT 770 Pro compares to those. Maybe someone else here does?

so headphone can't get a better source sound that can translate to other sistem ?coz if i buy a flat monitor speaker ..its not help me too coz i have a bad acoustic room ..T_T

There was another thread on this a few days ago which went into detail comparing different headphones. The consensus is to go with DT770s. While headphones alone won't give you a foolproof, portable mix, the beyers are a good starting point.

the dt880 pros are even better

I have the dt770s and my biggest complaint is that they are very bass heavy.
I've heard the dt880s and will say that they are quite a bit smoother.

With that being said, I still keep my dt770s as tracking headphones! I love the closed back. Talk about silent =)

i agree with all of this

i picked up a pair of HD280 5 years ago and found them to be very functional for the $100 price tag. I recently moved up to the Beyer DT880's and I am loving them. If the price is too steep, the 770 is obviously a great alternative, however, the 880 is where its at for me. i too found the 770 to be a bit heavy on the bass. the 880's semi-open design in great. the 280 is now my "cheap" tracking headphone.
