Best Headphones for Monitoring & Mixing
If you are looking into mixing or monitoring you should be looking for the “purest” sound possible from your headphones.
By “purest” we do not mean the brightest sound but the most unadulterated, uncolored or which shows the least amount of boosting and/or recession over most parts of their frequency range as to ease the work of mixing and monitoring.
