Update on my headphones comment from yesterday, I ordered the Audio-Technica ATH-R50x. Less than 200 bucks so not that expensive all things considered. I've never used open back headphones before but they probably suit my needs better since I prioritize comfort and don't care much for noise cancelat

HD 480 Pro

Oh yes, I am newer to the hobby but I have compared back and forth my couple of inexpensive open backs with the momentum 4, a couple of earbuds and IEMS I understand we shouldn’t compare passive to active headphones, but when talking specifically about what sounds better, that shouldn’t matter. For

Proper headphone such as Audio Technica ATH-R50X or Sennheiser HD560s is miles better. But cod has shitty audio design, good headphones can't fix that

Best beginner audiophile headset setup?

I'd skip HD 600 for sure, 6XX is good value for $200 but if you are fine with getting Hifiman Sundara > 6XX and EDXS > Sundara, so grab an EDXS 560S is also good option, great price, so is Audio Technica ATH-R50x and FiiO JT7 but if you are fine with getting Hifiman you can't beat hifiman sound, the

HD 650, FiiO FT1 ou Px8 S2? Ajuda para não ser redundante no meu setup

Peguei um Audio Technica R50X recentemente. Muitas reviews botando ele como alternativa ao HD 560s (e não ao 650). Peguei na Amazon, revenda oficial, envio nacional e estou MUITO satisfeito. Além do som excepcional, achei que ele tinha mais graves que o HD 560S sem perder a neutralidade e tecnicalid

Headphones for practice that translate to live use

My suggestion would be to set your tones with your live setup at live db levels. Then, to practice, plug in whatever studio headphones your budget will allowed without changing anything even if it sounds "worse" to you. Just tell yourself its practice time and not tweaking time ;). I go with beyerdy

Headphones primarily for music, 200-250 range?

You might want to consider the Audio Technica R50x headphone ($150 to $170 US) with OEM Replacement R70x pads ($30) which do fit, but are a bit roomier. That is one of the set ups that I have and it sounds great.
