Best Studio Monitors For Orchestral Music

I use this for scoring orchestral music for films.

Orchestral Essentials really says it all..

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 got these headphones to use as both studio and field monitors, but listening to music is also truly a treat. It's lovely to hear music entirely as it was intended to be heard; no added bass or anything. These are the real deal, and they will make you both fall in love with your favorite records all over again, and will help you capture and mix amazing audio. What are you waiting for?

Because of the pandemic, I have not been able to go to the music store to listen to and purchase studio monitors. I have been doing all of my music editing using Sennheiser HD 289 Pro headphones. This Blue Cat Audio software/VST has been very useful in helping me better understand what is going on in my recording.

I really like the quality and design of this speaker. I used to listen to music using my near field studio monitors, but decided to switch to something more compact and.. far field :) And this speaker produces the same sound clarity as a two much more powerful monitors. I'm really happy with it. The only thing that I wish it had for such a steep price is the AirPlay support, and also I think it was a mistake to remove the optical input, like on the earlier model.

I use a pair of JBL 306P MkII's for studio monitors and for music playback, song accompaniment during guitar practice and pleasure listening. Really, for a set of reasonably priced powered monitors, they sound fantastic. I run them from my PC through a DAC directly to each speaker. Impressed by the sound and the build quality. Purchased and shipped directly from JBL. Great experience. Would buy again.

Fantastic for the studio monitors.

I like the way these studio monitors sound. I purchased several pairs.

Seems to be a good value. I use it for my project studio monitors.
