I need to buy a good pair of headphones to be able to mix and master a song with. I purchased a Sony MDR-v150 and well... It was $20, and had amazing reviews on every site I went on.
They're very weird. When connected to my iPod (no EQ set), they sound TERRIBLE. The bass is far too loud, and everything is in the mid tones. It just ends up sounding very muddy. My friend bought a pair of Skullcandy earbuds, and they sound FAR superior. I was amazed. But I don't want earbuds to do my mixing and mastering with.
On the other hand, when connected directly into my Laptop using Winamp and a custom EQ, they sound better. Even with the same song that was playing on my iPod, alot of the sounds are far clearer and more discernible. So I'm sort of stuck. Should I return them to the store, and buy something far superior that I could hunt for under $30, or keep them and tough it out? Hmm. Suggestions?
