Best Closed Headphones For Recording

I use the headphones primarily for tracking in my recording studio. Because the cover the ear and have a closed back, they block out the music in the room, and allow the player to hear the headphone mix clearly. They do not distort and have a fairly even frequency response. The only downside is the cost, usually $ a pair, B&H did $ with free shipping, so I bought 3 pair.

I wouldn't pay full retail for these headphones, but at the current sale price, it's a great set of headphones if an open back design will work for you. Keep this in mind - professional studio recording headphones have to be a closed back design, for multiple obvious reasons. It's more difficult to get neutral balanced sound from the drivers with closed backs. So thus you get the whole headphone scene for audio production tasks. You can't use these Philips headphones for any of that, but for normal consumer enjoyment of music, if nobody is bothered by the sound coming out the back of the phones, these sound absolutely fantastic. Beautiful open, clear, three dimensional soundstage that presents any recording at its best.
