Pioneer Headphones ???

[cjacek]

Hey Guys,

Does any of you have any experience with the Pioneer SE models ? I'm talkin' specifically the se-50, se-205, se-305, se-405, se-505. How's the sound, isolation etc ...

Thanks,

Daniel

I haven't seen or heard a pioneer headphone in almost 15 years!

As long as it is a closed cup design and grips your head firmly, you should get decent isolation from them as long as there is not the foam type pads on it which leak sound and, as long as the volume is not too loud when overdubbing.

I use Sony closed cup headphones and get good results with them.

Cheers!

I thought it was time for a Ghostly makeover!

As for the Sony cans; I have two pairs. One is an older MDR-V55 from about 10 years ago and they still work like a charm. They were the consumer version of the MDR1760s which is a standard pro studio model at half the price. They sound great and fit nice and tight so they leak very little.

My other pair is an MDR-CD800 which is a large, closed cup design that sounds very nice but are a little too bulky for wild overdubs where I am flailing around the microphone as I sing. They are better for calmer activities.

I also have a pair of AKG240DF's which is also a studio monitor headphone but it is not a closed cup design so it is better as an engineers headphone for checking thing out, mix-wise and for when I play my guitar or keyboard quietly on them in the house.

Merry Christmas, BTW!

Cheers!
