Fellow PARISians,

Do you have any recommendations for studio headphones? I'm looking at
buying a handful of pairs for musicians to wear while tracking.

My priorities are:
1. Must be closed headphones (no leakage of click tracks)
2. Comfort (You've gotta be able to wear them for a couple of hours of
tracking, if need be)
3. Price (I'm hoping not to spend $200 a pair. I'll go as high as $150 if
I need to, but less than that would be even better.)
4. Sound quality (I'm not doing mixing on these, so as long as they're
relatively clean, that's fine.)

Let me know what you might recommend. Thanks.

Brian

For the money and performance, the Behringer HEADPHONES HPS5000 and HPS3000
($39.00 list and 29.00 ) can't be beat.

They sound good and their light. This way, you can pretty much stock up..

100 bucks retail.

We've been using these for a year, and I like them more than 7506's (not as
harsh). Not to mention you get 5 for the price of one Sony.

But what happens when they catch fire while a client is wearing
them?

:D
