Open Back headphones for mixing

Recommended Posts

Hello basslings,

 

I record a lot of bass guitar centric music. 
 

I really need / want some open back headphones. 
 

Sennheiser 600 or Audeze or…?

 

Every single review has too many pros and cons. 
 

Any experiences mixing bass guitar with open back headphones?

 

Thank you!

I have the Shure SRH1840s which I think are superb and would recommend very highly. Very detailed and revealing but not hyped in any way, so great for making mixing decisions (especially since the bass response in my studio room is a little... flattering). Comfort-wise they're very light and easy to wear for long periods, and the sound is not fatiguing. I prefer my Shures to the Sennheisers I have listened to - for my ears perhaps the Sennheisers warm and extend the bass a little too much to be really accurate. I've certainly found that mixes I've checked on my Shures tend to translate very well.

 

I've not tried anything from Audeze so can't comment - I've seen some great reviews though.

 

Cheers,

David
