Im looking to buy a cheap headphone for mixing. As background, Im kind of newbie, although i have been playing guitar for about 7 years, and previously attempted to produce music, I'm starting it again more seriously. I have a cheap but decent IMO interface, Tascam US1200 (Also an Avid Eleven Rack i use for guitar tones, but it also works as an interface), already have a condenser mic, midi keyboard. I don't have monitors right now, but anyway my home-studio room (bedroom) is not properly treated so investing in a decent pair of monitors is waste right now as i won't be able to hear everything faithfully, so I'm looking to buy some headphones for mixing purposes.
I already own a Tascam TH2 and they sound good enough for tracking and stuff, but everything i have read so far suggests me to get an open cans set for mixing, so thats why I'm looking to get them. My budget is up to about US$80, although the lower the better, I'm on a really tight budget right now. Price is really important right now as i need to buy more stuff. Even 5$ i can save it helps. I WILL be getting better cans down the road, but i need something cheap now, but something that works.
Im considering these for now, but I'm open to suggestions:
- Samson SR850 (Current Prefered based on reviews, research and price)
- Superlux HD681
- AKG K240
- Sony MDR7506
Question: How do i know if the headphones doesn't have a hardwired cable? I would prefer to have a detachable cable.
Thanks a lot for your answers and time.
