rooooooook!...

i've a simple (it's never simple) question.

-I'm looking at buying some good 'flat' headphones for monitoring.
-i've used headphones to mix since i started digital recording.
-I will be mixing for consumer hi-fi's.

So... it begs the question!

I know monitors allow you to mix your music with a lot more accuracy and have better results on a wider range of output devices(hifi's etc) but seeing as though i will need new headphones for real time monitoring and i'm not planing on giving my music to a studio wizz who will listen to it on a pair of (quotes really expensive monitors here), then will it really pay off to get both monitors for mixing and headphones to monitor my playing ?
IF not... can anyone recommend some good 'flat' headphones that will get the job down on both accounts.

Tah,
Rory.
 
so i've been told... but i haven't seen any decent arguments that say mixing with monitors is that much better... mind you, i can't see how mixing with headphones on is the best way... it's not the natural way you listen to music in most situations. In saying this... would it be such a bad choice for someone in my situation ?
 
Check out the AKG's... They rule... the K 240DF's are very nice... but mind you, they'll show every little mistake... :D
