    I have Beyerdynamic DT250 which I love. My Mackie HR624s are decent speakers but I've just moved into a new apartment and this room sounds seriously wrong, so I've been mixing in my headphones a lot, and was thinking about upgrading. This video came at the perfect time, thanks! 2 questions please Dom - what is that funky music in the background of this video? I like it! And, if you could only choose 1 pair of headphones purely for mixing/mastering dance music (mostly breakbeat or D&B) which would you go for? Let's rule out the Audeze because of the price, but any of the others.

    I love the statement, "I use different headphones for different things". (I also don't use a hammer for a wrench, lol). You simply cannot have open backs for live tracking, especially in large diaphragm, or tube mics. (AKG-C414, or on the low end Octavia). I won't even use them near instrument mics. Thank you for explaining the reverb on the send channel. I did not know that as an effect it lowers the volume of the raw track. As always, thank you for all your help, and ABSOLUTELY love your videos.

    Thanks again, Dom! My speakers are Adam A7X with a matched Sub10mk2, which is beautifully detailed and un-hyped in my room, which has good quality absorption, but is basically rectangular, so I still use headphones as a double check. I often use Bose Quietcomfort 15's, which are really intended more as noise-reduction phones on an airplane, but the low end is solid and un-hyped. I've been thinking of some better ones, so this video is timely for me. As always, thanks for your perspectives!

    Hey Dom - I am definitely going to check out that Steinberg kit for my niece (on a budget in college) My personal favorites are the Beyer Dynamic DT-770s are the best and the headphones I swear by. One thing I really like about them is they are very repairable. I had a flood where a LOT of my gear got wrecked - these headphones actually have parts available - I was able to get new drivers, wiring, and fabric covers... Restored for about half the cost and about 30 minutes of soldering :) - I would def try out the Yamahas though (can't say anything on those because I haven't tried them).

    Great video - again :) So thx for that! I just bought a pair of Beyerdynamic cans (DT 1990 Pro), which are amazing. What I would like to hear is your opinion or a recommendation on Plugins promising to enable the user to do Mastering and mixing with headphones only. I am pretty close to buying CanOpener from Goodhertz, but i am unsure if the manipulation of the original signal really helps producing decent Mixes (if someone must use cans only). Do you have any recommendation?

You helped me find what I call a "sonic microscope", the headphones that I was searching for for quite some time to use them at the end of a mix and later at the end of mastering to find last details requiring correction before my scores go public. Those are Yamaha HPH-MT7. And let me repeat what you said: these phones are for studio works, not listening to Abba.

  • @DojoOfCool

    I'd say the bottom line is understand to speakers/headphones your listening with, so you mix has a better chance of sounding good whatever your end users listen on. Go into mastering studios and a lot of the engineers have older monitors because they know and understand the monitors. They understand the their target systems they are mastering for and how the two relate. So really good high end montors are great if you have the budget, but if you don't then really study what you are using, make mixes and take them to other places and listen to on other speakers or monitor and compare the sound. It's part of the learning experience learning the sound of your gear to get the most out of it.

    of course this vid counts as teaching :- ) ...thanks a lot for sharing your experience, Dom. ...thanks also for not only talking about the headphones themselves but also bringing everything in perspective (pro and con for expensive headphones vs speakers vs other equipment) - I think, you just saved me from investing into some new speakers (not high end, but at the upper end of my budget), which would most likely achieve small improvement vs. my bit oldish Adam Audio speakers in a smallish room, packed with stuff and difficult to treat. I will instead try a little room treatment and rather buy some good to very good open back headphones, I don't have, yet (instead of hunting some fancy new speakers ...but some day will buy some nice Neumanns or Genelecs, anyway :) ...but not now!) ...watching this vid. in Apr. 2023, and still so helpful .

My mixes translate far better now across multiple devices. I have not had an opportunity (or the financial means) to do a comparative of all the mentioned headphones, but I feel I really lucked out when I opted for the MT8s. These work well for me.

    Thank you for your great advice. I was going to purchase a pair of DT 770's but after listening to your advise, i may reconsider getting the Yamaha's. What i want is a accurate representation of what my true sound is and i believe the Yamaha's will give me that. I have a pair of Hs7's but they are in Singapore and i am in Los Angeles. I remember though how great they translated my mix to other systems . No hype or anything like that. It was professional sounding. I remember listening to the DT 770' many years ago. The soundstage was so wide i couldn't find my center. And it made me dizzy. It felt like i was lost in a Canyon. He he... .But they're very impressive. I will hopefully be able to listen again to the both of them as my ears have developed over the years and are more finely tuned . Once again thanks for giving your experience. ❤.Blessings to you.

    I'm using *Focal clear mg pro* for everything, recording (the bleeding is not a problem in my case), mixing, mastering, without any profile correction.They seems to be good too for Atmos and binaural. They seems to be the best for less than 2kEUR (got them at 1kEUR) for sure and even more: few suggested it was better than the Focal Utopia (suggested as GOAT headphones, at 3.3kEUR and 4.2kEUR for the new version), which may be too analytical. You definitely must try them ! In a nutshell they are super flat, very sensitive, and the presence of the sound and the stage wideness are incredible. Unlike the LCDx, they likely won't need EQ/profile correction. You won't like the 3.5 jack length cable, but the 6.3 jack cable is 5 meters.

Ive had this setup for over a year and I've been very happy. I also put dearVR MONITOR and Sonarworks on in control room.

    I use Beyer DT990 Pro headphones. They aren't really that expensive, but do offere a lot of quality for the investment. With most headphones, you can compensate for any shortcomings by listening to the same track on multiple audio sources. You will hear the differences and similarities between the audio sources. This will tell you how to compensate for them :) Over all, the DT990 Pro headphones are not for tracking, but offer a much more detailed sound than my awful speakers in an awful room ;)

    Thank you for another great and informative video Dom. Been loving it! I have an probably "unusual" question - Unfortunately I am partially deaf, on my left hear. Actually happened while gigging with my band on a extremely loud room... This was some years back, which made me stop from doing many of the music related aspects, which I am very passionate about. Though at the moment I want to try to get back into music production and even though knowing of this limitation, I can still recognise lots of frequency enhancements and I will be relying on the "visual rules" for mixing for example but also in my musical intuition and my passion a lot. Do you think that it is possible to become a at least semi pro? Is there any advise you could think of about processing audio in this condition? Much appreciated for your incredible dedication. Much Love

    Thanks my man! Definitely not an audiologist but no, I wouldn’t be discouraged. Mixing in mono and then isolating in L/R channel would be a good practice. The brain generally compensates for these sorts of things but don’t forget there are excellent tools for metering and judging strereo width and compatibility. Maybe another trick would be to flip the stereo field and double check like this. Tools like the BX Control from Brainworx could be of great help :)

    hi dom! i'm wondering if it's really important to choose headphones that are as flat as possible. the sony mdr 7506 has been the industry standard for like eternity, it's extremely flat. and i really don't know if i should choose the dt770 pro over the mdr 7506, i'm just worried that it won't let me hear all the flaws in my mix, but the mdr 7506 just lacks soundstage, and i don't plan on buying another headphone until about 1 or 2 more years. thanks so much for your help and love your videos!

    Hi Dom,great informative and enjoyable video as always )) i have a question if u do practice and use it.i see lately some music videos that are mixed in some sort of surround audio for regular stereo headphones. are this ambisonic or surround that were converted somehow for "stereo" headphones ? is it possible to do it in cubase pro ? i see some ambisonic tools and some surround converters to stereo plugins in cubase pro but i don't get what they do and how to use them really :)) ( just to add, i don't have surround system in my setup ,only stereo,so i really can't use the surround tools in cubase as they should be used in real surround setup)

    Cubase can do surround very well. Actually, did you know that the Revelation reverb is capable of surround ? :) Nuendo has even more capabilities for these sort of things but the issue is that you will always need a surround system to check your creations in true surround. Do you have an example to share so I can have a look?

    Greetings from Greece ! Could you please tell me which headphones or what specs should I use with the Ur22c for higher volume? I currently use the ath-m40fs but they don’t provide enough volume for tracking vocals. They are ok for listening to music, although the headphone volume knob is always past 12 o’clock. And yes, I tried everything else. Should I exchange the Ur22c for the ur24c, as it has stronger headphone amp 2x100 mW instead of 2x15mW of the Ur22c? Please answer to me ASAP as I have to see if I’m keeping or returning the device. Thank you in advance. Geia sou file !!!

    Geia sou Petros- The UR22C should be able to power even headphones with high impedance. That being said, the loudest headphone preamps that I’ve tried on a Steinberg interface are the ones on the UR-RT2/4- really powerful. But it’s a bigger, less portable interface with those tasty Rupert Neve transformers :)

    Hi Dom, I'm trying to decide between the HD600 and the HD650 for mixing and mastering in an untreated room. I was able to test the HD650 and liked their sound, but I felt that in hard rock songs the main vocal was a little bit on the back, while in pop songs everything was fine. What do you think? I read that the HD600 is more flat and has more treble, but has a narrow soundstage - which I'm not sure if it'll be better for me or not. Also, do you suggest listening with Sonarworks, or just to get to know the headphones as they are? Thank you!

    They are quite comfortable for their size and weight. I would probably not wear them for more than 4 hours without a break but they don’t squeeze your head to the point that other headphones do that cause you headaches. The one annoying thing I have with them is that my hair always gets tangled in their screws so I always pull a hair or two when I remove them quickly. It’s so annoying but I guess not a problem if you don’t have long hair hahaha
