|  headphones for recording VOICEOVERS: Beyerdynamic 770 pro or Sony 7506 ? Hi guys, I'm looking for headphones for recording voiceovers (my own). At this moment I have AKG 240 Studio but they're semi-open so I'm afraid sound will bleed into the mic. For a VO person recording his own voiceover, which one would you recommend, Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 80h or Sony 7506 and why? I found Beyerdynamic 770 more comfortable but they supposedly offer "only" 18dB isolation (as opposed to say 32dB by Sennheiser HD280 which I wanted to buy but after trying I find them a little too tight on my head and I'm afraid they would get uncomfortable if you work for an hour or so). Are the Beyerdynamic good for VO? (i.e. no bleeding at reasonable levels...) Are B. 770's and Sony 7506 comparable in terms of isolation? How about soundwise? Any kind of input would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance g ps: i'm in Canada so I have a little less choise than in the US |

| I could be wrong, but I'm thinking "ambient noise reduction" refers to how much it will reduce noise coming from outside of the headphones as compared to how much "leakage" will occur. I have the DT 770's in the booth and most VO talent love them. They are very comfortable and relatively light. Leakage is a non-issue with them. To me, they sound too "flat" but that justs the downside of listening to hyped Genelecs all day. N8 |

| I think the 770's have much more iso than the Sony's. And you can't beat those cushy velour earpads.

| Another vote for the DT770PRO's. How about the DT770PRO-M's? They have 35dBA of ambient noise attenuation - And have even less spill than the normal 770's. Although, either pair won't really cause a problem with spill, IMHO. |

| I'm used to the 7506s, so that what I used when I first started recording at home. Wouldn't trade them for anything. |

| it seems like there's lot of "Beyerdynamic 770 pro 80" happy users out there. my only concern was whether they offered enough iso for tracking voiceovers but it doesn't seem to be a problem based on your input. thanks again, much appreciated |

|  770 pro - M ?? Anyone here used the M-version of Beyerdynamic 770 pro for tracking VO? If so how do they compare to the regular 770pro? (sound and comfort...) Would the M version be a better option for this particular application or you'd recommend to rather stick with the regular 770 pros ? |

I've never heard the Beyers, personally, but I own several pairs of the Sony 7506s. They sony's are very hyped, but if you are not mixing on them and just using them for VO's, that may be a good thing. I was in radio for about 10 years and almost every DJ had a pair of 7506s (or the v600 i think - more isolation). These days, I use them to reference a mix only, and use the Sennheiser HD600s as my engineering cans.

| "If you use the "search" function, you'll find a lot of GS love for the Audio Technica ATH-M50. " but as you know, you record with microphones instead of phones Matti |

| appreciate your replies ath m50 - i tried it and it's way too big for my head. (i guess my big head is still a little head after all....  ) based on the input here i spent couple hours auditioning pair of dt770 pro. while i really enjoyed the comfort level they provided, for me, they made it somehow difficult to do the VO... they didn't sound bad at all - but maybe the deep cups made hearing my voice in them a little weird, or was it the bass boost? not sure. so finally went for a pair of Beyerdynamic dt250-80. To me they could use a little 1 or 2 dB lift in the HF but for my head they were absolutely the most comfortable by far (well right after dt770 that is....) . They sound pretty natural too. Having researched the internet, it seems like they have been used in many studios for a long time... g |
