High-Definition Drivers that go up to 80Khz!
WOW... !!!!.

Most people in their mid 30's can only hear up as far as 18Khz, and 80Khz is a freaking LONG...........way away from 18Khz. That's so high a Bat would even have a problem hearing it :-)

Regards.
Sharp.

Look, take it from someone who actually owns 18 PAIRS of Headphones!

18 pairs??..Sina, I wish you would have mentioned that to me.. especially before backing out of the Oasys Stand you wanted, after offering me $750 for to hold it for you! I know you said you just couldnt get the money together but I would have have gladly taken a couple pairs in on trade. Whats the best pair for about $100??

I highly recommend the Sony MDR-7509HD. Got a pair to use with my Oasys after reading this article:
www.soundonsound.com/sos/jan07/articles ... phones.htm and they sound beautiful!

I'd very highly recommend the Denon AHD-5000, though they're sort of pricey... the AHD-2000 is supposed to be almost as good.

This is a rather interesting subject indeed, I'll need some headphones cause I'll be playing during night time too. But I think instead of asking here I'll just go to the store and ask the store what they have that's suited for me and I'd test them :) Best to buy the most comfortable that sound the best. Should be good enough for several hours on your ears without them hurting your ears at all...
Buy me a Korg Oasys 88, please :)

For this price maybe you can find a Sennheiser HD600. It sounds wonderful and lets you ear in a very reliable way how your own created sound are "really" sounding.
Another option is some model from the Grado line. For my tastes, I'd choose the cheaper model, the SR60, for overall "loudspeaker" feeling.

8hz to 25khz .. clarity and real bass in headphones

Post by shaneblyth »

8HZ (yes 8!) to over 25KHZ response on the Sennheiser HD 280 Pro
these are Noise canceling and designed for studio Monitoring hence why I bought them for my recording studio
I spent quite a bit of time checking headphones out and the M3 sounds absolutely magic through these. The bass response is amazing. the clarity across the range is stunning. Just play any of the Korg Piano sounds and they sound amazing.. if only I could get something that sounded so good that I can use on stage.
