my ears are trained to the AKG 240 open backs and the DT 770's and use both!...less ear fatigue with the 240's and can still communicate with the environment around me, good for jamming... the 770's though are super luxurious in comfort and sound quality.
I love my AKG K-240s! I have two pair, one from the 80s that still work perfectly (albeit just a touch 'warmer') and another new pair I bought a couple years back for hardly any more money. Super comfortable and great for tracking vocals due to the semi-open back design, and my new ones have better impedance match to my amp so much better volume. I don't mix in them but I use them for mix review on every project- they equate to real world averages pretty well. I also bought K-701s for their high end detail, which they deliver very effectively (when I need to review that) but they aren't very much fun to listen to. Funny that!
Own a pair of the DT770's.They are sort of mid rangey sounding, which is good for people tracking vocals. All the parts can be separately purchased from Beyer, which is good for replacing any broken worn out bits. But sound wise, more so for tracking, I absolutely love the sound of Vic Firth MKII Stereo Isolation Headphones. So much so, I bought 5 pairs of them for the whole band to track simultaneously with no bleed, +20db of isolation due to the 'ear muff type' design. They were designed originally more so for drummers, but they have a great clarity/ bass response around 100Hz area to hear the kick/ bass relationship, and quite smooth/ flat sounding. Apart from needing just a bit more air/ brightness/ 10khz lift, if you really need to hear the cymbals/ vocals clearer, I'm really happy with them, especially at that price point.
I think if you find them comfortable and you learn them well then most will do, but it’s great to have a good starting point. I use the Sony 7506s and I’m used to their quirks etc, I seem to muddle through, with liberal amounts of referencing of great tracks
I DO have them . The 250ohm version. I have had mine 2.5 years and I love them! When I let my friend try them she loved them too! The only thing I could love more would be a 2.4 Ghz wireless version for everyday listening!

Awesome! I'll have to look up the 240's! And yes, the 770's are sooooo comfy!

Amazing! Thanks for sharing, Giselle! 🙌🏻
Just discovered you channel....the shorter beard is better...now back to learning Reaper.
I was too busy in Reaper and before I knew it, I had that beard!

Yep, spot on! Also, within the means of what one has, you'll make it work for you...(and sometimes that means eventually)

Oh man, that would be ace!!
No, never was never will be. Average at best.
