No headphones for "mixing."
For listening, tracking, clicking or clacking, Beyer 250s or the 750 models will give you a good sound.
Of course, there are "good" AKGs, Sony, H.G. a bonanza of cans that will do the job.
Hoping you have little labor on Labor Day.

Headphones can reveal things that your average monitor can not. It's all relative. If you have $10,000 monitors (I don't) then maybe you don't need the cans. For $150 you can get some HD 580's on eBay.
Generally, you can get great headphones for way less than you can get great speakers.
As others have said, don't mix on headphones, but I believe they are great for use as tools in the mastering process.

kid klash said:Sorry for butting in here, but I'd strongly recommend listening to your mixes with headphones and earbuds after mixing them with monitors, just to find out how the mixes translate to headphones. As popular as iPods and protable CD playes are these days, the MAJORITY of music today is listened to on headphones and earbuds. Don't forget to try the mixes in your car and a fairly crappy boom box too.![]()
