Proper headphones, no b.s which ones?

Beyerdynamic DT100 or AKG K272 HD

Bear in mind that I will be using these to record, but also for all other music listening purposes, i.e plaines trains etc and nightly tv watching while the missus is asleep...what do you think?

Secretly, you know you want the 272's infact you just want someone to talk you into buying them because you know she'll kill you for wasting £130.00

I know, you're right, I know she'll kill me, I know i'll be totally broke, exactly £130.00 short of surviving the month. I need headphones, you know mine broke, well I now have to sit at the computer desk to watch fucking tv! with earphones in with a 0.5m cable

Schizos are never alone

Just an FYI. This thread is an example of multiple personality disorder, not schizophrenia. Schizophrenia has to do more with altered perception, the resulting paranoia, and other related things. But not multiple personalities. My psychdoc bill will be in the mail.

To the OP - headphones sound different to each user, re EQ balance, depending on the shape of their ears and head. That said, if you need isolation (tracking) use closed-backed cans. Otherwise, IME you'll generally get better sound quality using open-backed headphones.
