Headphone Upgrade

[Johnny Bueno]

Hey all,

Im finally shopping for decent pair of headphones to monitor my audio. Out of these choices that are in my budget which should I buy and why? Also, the headphones are for shooting weddings.

I use the Audio Technica M50s for location work. They are the only piece of AT gear that I own. I just bought a bunch of different ones and tried them, and the M50s had a special quality in the sound--not as good as open back design, but pretty good. I had read rave reviews about them, but I was actually surprised, since I usually don't like AT stuff. The 280s are fine. Lots of happy 280 owners; I used them before the M50s. Headphones are personal, so you will find everyone has their favorites--once you "learn" your headphones any of the top choices are fine.

For video work, the Sennheiser HD 25-1 II are the best for the job and the industry standard in Europe.
