Best Studio Headphones For Mixing Under $100

I have had these headphones for almost 10 years. In these 10 years, they have been THE BEST headphones I have used for mixing. I have used a bunch of headphones and studio monitors in that time, and nothing has beat them out, not even the infamous Sony 7506 (given, cheaper, but more prevalent headphones in studios) Things to note with these headphones; they are not super low end present. If you are getting these to listen to consumer music, you may not like them because they are not "boomy" or "full". These headphones are for users who are looking for definition and clarity for making a solid mix. The other note is a MINOR complaint; the part of the headset that rests on the top of your head/hair has worn out for me. The muffs also wore out, but I replaced them. If there is a way to replace the foam under the band, please let me know because I would love to have them looking brand new again. I broke the cable that came with the headphones by accidentally vacuuming it about 2 years in (stupid, I know), but the detachable cable saved me some money. Also nice if you want to swap out different size cables. I would highly recommend these to anyone looking to invest in headphones for studio mixing.

I use this model for monitoring and mixing in my studio. These headphones are the best I have ever used and goes right along in the same category as the SM57 microphones. Best sound and amazing price for the performance!

Great headphones...I use it for mixing in my home studio and I love the sound clarity

I use them for mixing and mastering in the studio. I truly can hear the difference and feel the difference in these headphones. This is my first pair of headphones above the $100 price range, and it is obvious why they are superior headphones. These headphones truthfully and accurately allow you to hear what is in the mix, which allows you to make critical mixing decisions. I would still use a reference track when mixing in these headphones. Also don't expect to get as much volume without a good headphone preamp. When I listen to these on my iPhone they don't get ear piercing loud, but it is a little quieter than the earbuds that come with the iPhone. I should also mention that they are very comfortable. I wear glasses and they aren't uncomfortable while I'm wearing them, even for hours at a time. I let my wife listen to them and she could clearly hear the difference in these and the headphones I own that cost $100. I hope this review helps someone who is debating on buying these headphones. If you edit, mix or master music, you can't go wrong with these.

These headphones have many good reviews from pros who use studio headphones for mixing and editing, many recommend M40x rather than the more expensive models. I am not experienced enough to evaluate them like a pro, but I will say that they seem to pick up sound very accurately - they are not noise cancelling though, but I think noise cancelling headphones are a lot more expensive. If you have a small head (like I do) they fit perfectly and are very comfortable. The included coiled and longer cables are a nice bonus.

Purchased 2 years ago and use for both live performance soloing, personal listening, and some studio mixing. These headphones are very durable and comfortable, but the sound quality really sets them apart. They transport me into whatever I'm listening to. Combined with a fiios dac, they will do everything and will do it well. Unless you're looking for open back headphones, these will easily become your favorites. A+. I'll replace the earpads and cable when they finally wear out.

Great headphones for mixing and recording.
