Recommend several headsets and monitoring headphones

From the perspective of use, monitoring headphones are divided into studio monitoring, broadcast monitoring, sound reinforcement monitoring, dedicated (special) monitoring, etc., among which studio monitoring is divided into simultaneous (field return) monitoring and downmixing Monitoring and live feedback generally send the accompaniment music, beat or music melody to the recording singers, performers, etc., just like the music played in karaoke without the original singer. The purpose is to allow each singer and performer to hear the rhythm and music clearly and coordinate the recording. Therefore, the requirements for this type of headphones are not high, but the prerequisite is that the headphones must be closed or semi-closed, because the sensitivity of the condenser microphones used for recording is very high, and some weak details will be picked up, including the headphones. The sound leaked out. Of course, most of the live monitoring headphones used in recording studios of a certain size are relatively good, such as AKG K240M, K141, SENNHEISER HD250, HD270, BEYERDYNAMIC DT770PRO, DT100, SONY MDR-7506, etc., because good headphones are easier to use. The singer is engaged.

Downmix monitoring has the highest requirements on the sound of headphones. It requires the ability to restore all sounds as realistically as possible, with as little sound coloration as possible and sound positioning close to the scene. This is also the effect pursued by audiophile headphones. Therefore, this type of headphones can be used as fever headphones. Such as AKG K240DF, BEYERDYNAMIC DT880PRO (the current model is DT880), SENNHEISER

HD250, etc. Among them, the AKG K240DF has the largest number of recording studios. However, conversely, not all fever headphones can be used as monitoring headphones, because most fever headphones have serious sound coloration, or the frequency response curve of the entire frequency band is not flat enough, or the phase characteristics are not good, although the listening experience may be Quite good, but for certain frequency bands or certain instruments, the playback effect may be defective. Of course, high-end fever headphones can also be used in the recording studio, such as HD600, but this is also related to the personal preference of the recording engineer. Many recording engineers are accustomed to using a certain model of headphones and have developed their own listening habits. Generally, they will not easily change the model of headphones they use.

The above two paragraphs are just to illustrate a problem. Monitoring headphones are not only used by professional music practitioners. There are many types of monitoring headphones, and some of them are also very suitable for music appreciation.

At a price below 1,000, most professional monitoring headphones that can really be used to enjoy music are only second-hand. If they are brand new, Beyerdynamic's dt770pro is a very good choice. The sound is clean and the reproduction is good. Beyerdynamic It is also one of the few major manufacturers that insists on manufacturing original products in the country. In addition, you can also consider Beyer's newly launched fully customized version of the monitoring headphones, Custom One Pro. Compared with the dt770pro, it is easier to drive, the sound is more suitable for pop songs and rock songs, and the price is consistent. dt770pro is similar and not too high.

For the in-ear type, please first tell me what kind of music you usually listen to and what kind of playback device you use. This recommendation will be more reliable. The disadvantage of metal earplugs is that they are relatively heavy and may be uncomfortable for your ears after wearing them for a long time.
