Best headphones or monitors for hearing true sound with an Arranger KB and why...? Thoughts..

Right now Im using a pair of Samson SR850's not bad for the price but I know there is better.Never in a million years would you ever imagine…That a $50 pair of headphones could deliver studio quality sound…right?The Samson SR850’s are are worth much more than their modest price tag.True…you probably won’t hear its name mentioned among gear-heads…Yet the SR850‘s offer many of the same features of other headphones costing several times as much.
If you’re strapped for cash, you won’t find a better deal than the SR850‘s.

PS: and yes I know not to setup the KB with headphones for live use,....just sayin'....but looking for a quality set of headphones for home studio use using the Pa4x, etc,..what are you using

I think this is a very individual issue, because shape of head for comfort feel and our ears are not equal tuned when listen..
Our age matters as well, and I guess some of us at SZ are close to the hearing aid equipment age. wink
Tried many head phones during the years, at the moment I've found pleasure by use Shure SRH840 for the T4.
Also a low cost, light weight Sony set does a nice job connected to MicroArr.

The Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro is another consideration a bit more $$$

or I can just bring inside the Maui 5's and enjoy the KORG Pa4x in Stereo.

Best open heyad sets...

You however might prefer over ear closed headset, in which case i am very hapy with the Senheiser HD 280 pro...

I, also, use the Sennheiser 280 Pro. For a closed headphone, I find them very comfortable, and the realism is the best I have found.

I custom ordered a pair on e-bay from a foreign site.

Must have lost something in the translation of the specifications!!!
