I am looking to get affordable Studio Reference Headphones for recording at home. Budget R800-R2000 max. (cheaper will be better for now). I am not planning to do serious mastering with it, mostly to track my guitars, but a little bit of mixing. Usually I would spend a lot of money because it is an investment, but now is not possible. I also bought earphones for my wife which cost a tiny fortune.
So far these have been suggested: Samson SR850 Headphones. At R800 it is very affordable BUT
Maybe a closed back suggestion will also be nice as I have some noise in my office (amp, inverter, PC, server etc.). So if it has some relatively good passive noise cancelling it will be a plus?
Any suggestions?
Poll options so far (Excludes shipping):
• Sony MDRV6 (R1500)
• Sony MDR7506 Pro (R1500)
• Audio-Technica ATHM40x Pro (R1500)
• Audio-Technica ATH-M50x (R2000)
• Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro (R2000)
• Sennheiser HD280PRO (R1500)
• Grado SR80e (R1500)
