Which Headphones for a Roland VS 840?

[Buddiedavey]

How do I choose the right headphones for home studio recording? I use a Roland VS840. I have read various reviews, the Beyer Dynamic DT100's are industry standard, but I notice there are a least two versions - 200ohm and
400ohm, so which set is best considering the output on my multitrack states 100ohm? There is also a set of 'phones that Sony produce, I've read they too are excellent.

I'd be very grateful if anyone can advise me which to choose and what difference the "Ohms" reference makes.

Many thanks,

Yo BD:

I wouldn't worry too much about ohms. I have enjoyed my Beyer 250 cans and DT 770s. I have a new pair of AudioTechnica high touted M-50s. They are "all right" but a tad on the boomy side.

I don't know if they still make the Beyer 250 cans; however, I'm sure they have a model about the same with a different number. You can ask your vendor.

Call all the 800 numbers and "ask." It's a free call and you might hook up with a "good" sales rep.

Your Roland recorder will accomodate a plethora of cans. AKG makes some excellent sets, as well as Yamaha, et. al.
