Hi. Recently, I decided i will buy new headphones for my Korg Kronos, and I was wondering what you guys think. Which one should I look for, which one should I avoid, etc? |

Not bought headphones recently,I'm sure that today's standards will provide a wider selection than were previously available.
Probably most forum members will post information regarding the ones they actually use.
In my case,I use a Sennheiser HD 650.
They're semi open back,produce a near flat response and are fairly comfortable for long usage.
Although they are expensive and a little dated,but still work well.
Also use a HD 201 as an alternative pair,but they tend to be bass bias and don't do the Kronos sound justice.
However,are useful for making comparisons. |

Got the Shure SRH840, just great on the Kronos headphone jack, especially for the acoustic pianos. |

I’ve had my Sennheiser 600 for about 10 years now. Far and away the finest headphones I’ve ever used. I paid about $300 USD for them back then. |

I'm using Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro. I was searching for a long time. I chose this one because of its linear frequency response (it is well known for that), I didn't want it to alter the Kronos sound.
What's more, I found it is very comfortable. |

Yes. Sennheiser 650. Faultless.

I've used Yamaha RH-5Ma phones for years, they have a flat and uncolored response, and you can probably get 3 or 4 pair for $180 if you look around online...
