Bill Lewis Senior Member Registered: 11/12/08 Posts: 2443 Loc: Bluffton/Hilton Head SC USA	Just got my AKG 553 headphone from MF. Wow is all I can say. Everything is so clear and they are plenty loud enough plugged directly into my BK9. Thanks again Jer for the tip. These are a keeper. _________________________ Bill in SC --- Roland BK9 (2) Roland BK7M, Roland PK5 Pedals, Roland FP90, Roland CM30 (2), JBL Eon Ones (2) JBL 610 Monitor, Behringer Sub, EV mics, Apple iPad (2) Behringer DJ mixer

Quality and comfort and amazing results, without using monitors. _________________________ Live: Korg PA4X/EV Everse 8s/Senn 935/K&M stand Studio: Korg PA4X/Yamaha DGX670/Boss BR900CD/Tascam DP24SD/MTM Iloud/Sony C80/AGK 214/K&M stand

I use the SENN HD 280s because they are closes phones....... although the HD 650s are terriffic as an OPEN BACK set of phones for playing KB etc,.. but IMO for Recording you will hear everything outside of your phones in your recordings and you don't want that at all,..

For the price difference the 280 are still a perfect match, espescially if you want as Donny says a closed system. It has a very flat characteristic.

zuki Senior Member Registered: 09/20/02 Posts: 4718	Oh I don't know about hearing everything outside the phones. I guess it depends on how quiet your studio is. All I know is I mixed through the 280s and the mix was dreadful. I remixed and balanced through the 650s and the results were astonishing. _________________________ Live: Korg PA4X/EV Everse 8s/Senn 935/K&M stand Studio: Korg PA4X/Yamaha DGX670/Boss BR900CD/Tascam DP24SD/MTM Iloud/Sony C80/AGK 214/K&M stand

zuki Senior Member Registered: 09/20/02 Posts: 4718	All the hoopla about FLAT for recording is probably true. I hated the HS8s and unloaded asap. I mix through the 650s entirely and would never use a monitor again. And for anyone recording on the skinny - I use the Tascam DP-03 CD and the results are truly fantastic. I paid $99 and am blown away. _________________________ Live: Korg PA4X/EV Everse 8s/Senn 935/K&M stand Studio: Korg PA4X/Yamaha DGX670/Boss BR900CD/Tascam DP24SD/MTM Iloud/Sony C80/AGK 214/K&M stand
