i use whatever the studio i booked has for tracking i see sony's more then anything.... harvey, what do you think of your grados? i really want to get a pair and have heard that the SR80's are great but for a little more money you can get better bass response with the 225's what are you thoughts? |

The Grados are wonderful, but unusable for serious decision making - they literally make everything sound great. |

Have you heard the RS1's? I'm seriously looking to getting a pair of those but I'm not interested if they have that problem. |

I've always liked the sound of the grado's but find them uncomfortable to wear. Just my $.02 |

I like to give the musicians the best sounding cue mix possible, so I've spent hella cash on headphones. |

Harvey's are good too for tracking but that's it. (Sorry Harvey, they don't sound good, but that's not what they're for, are they?) |

The more I use the Ultrasone 600s the more I like them, though it's too soon to tell how durable they are since I've only been using them a few times a week for the last several months. My clients and university users are all pretty conscientiuos, too, so that may not apply to your situation. But what phones should I have on hand for musicians who don't want to mess up their hair? I'm serious; one of my regular singers wants something that is light and unobtrusive (if that's the word) and won't mess up her hair. Still it'll need good isolation since she's overdubbing vocals to a track. Maybe some kind of in-ear monitor? |

Just ordered (seconds ago) the More Me's on a whim but will probably go with the Grado SR325s if I ever do decide to do a headphone mix.............if they prove comfortable enough. |

I just bought 5 of the MoreMe headphones - great for tracking. I'm curious about one thing though - they are advertised as having removable earpieces, so that 2 people can use one set of phones. I could find no way to remove the earpieces - and even if I could, the little wire attached to them looks like it would not allow them to be moved far enough away from the headpiece to allow use by a second person. |

I'm going with the "tracking phones are a disposable commodity" idea. We give people a choice, $20 behringer's or $20 AKG's. These seem perfectly usable given the price range and the behringers seem to be relatively comfortable for longer periods of use. Also there was a review in the last TapeOp about some cheap Sennheisers. |

I have 4 Fostex T40's and a Pair of T50'2. Ironic part is when I bought these one of the reasons was the replaceable cable. At least that part is still good. |
