Quality headphones for mixing/mastering?

[solaris1982]

I was looking into doing the same thing as the op (Sennheiser HDs), then I realized that I can get a pair of KRK-5's for the same price. If you're trying to save money, that's one thing. But if you can pay the same amount for monitors, why not do it?

***EDIT***
I was thinking the wrong headphones. I was actually looking at the Beyerdynamic DT-770's, not the sennheisers.

At any rate, I'm not suggesting anything more here than for D_Vincent to get the headphones described above. .

No, that's cool. Fair enough. I just wanted to make it clear that you shouldn't go through the whole mixing process with headphones, unless you really have to.

I prefer bone conduction headphones. The difficult part is maintaining a bone throughout the entire mix session.

Yeah, I have trouble maintaining a bone for 20 minutes.

Is that what they mean by "hard limiting"?

Talk about ear fatigue, priapism when mixing is even more of an annoyance.

That's why they call it a "joystick".

You need a set of the new v-phones. The company also has a new line out for liars that comes in a powder that you snort. It's called vinnoccio.

No no no, but I was playing with the expander a little

I got a pair of Sennheiser HD600 a few weeks ago and the things are fantastic. The sound and build quality is out of this world.
