Hi, i'm getting a new headphones for studio tracking, and trying to decide between these three sets. It looks like these sets are quite popular and liked. These are all closed back headphones, as i understand it's better for tracking because it has less leakage to the mic. I'm going to be using...

Hi, i noticed that on lots of 70's live performances i hear, the Shure SM54 is being used, and i like its sound very much. maybe its just the fact that its music from the 70's that is effecting my judgment, but i think its really a good mic. what do you think is the closest thing in tonality...
