Ordered a korg kronos 61

Post by Ev1ldead7272 »

Hey guys.. I've just ordered a korg Kronos 61 key , so thought I would register here as I'm now in the club so to speak :D
Can't wait to receive it, only played one briefly but I was absolutely blown away and decided to sell all my other music gear to fund the Kronos , which included my much loved fender Malmsteen strat but i'm sure this keyboard will be worth it.
Could anyone advise on a good pair of headphones to use with the Kronos? I'm saving up for a pair of focal cms40 monitors but until I can afford those I'm going to be using headphones, I only have a cheap pair of Roland rh 50 which came free with a Juno g..but pretty sure they aren't going to do the Kronos justice.
I can stretch to around £200 preferably a pair that doesn't require an additional amplifier as funds are very tight...and ones which are good to use for recording but also just general listening playing piano and sounds in the keyboard etc.
I do apologise in advance sure this question has been asked many times.

Regards Nathaniel.

i'm sure that most of akg, senheisser, and shure headphones at that price range will satisfy you the most..

Love my yamaha psr s910 as well

Korg Kronos 88, Yamaha PSR s910, Korg C720, Yamaha DTX 520, Focusrite Scarlett 18i6, a pair of Yamaha HS80 in (soon not to be) an unproperly treated room..

Hi, thanks for the reply
Any particular models out of those you could recommend?
Some of the phones I've been reading reviews and looking at are as follows...Akg K550 , Shure Srh940 ( not sure if the treble is too bright with these) Ultrasone DJ-1 pro....the Sennheiser 650 look great but over my budget as I'll also have to buy an additional amp.

I don't use it with my Kronos currently (they're at work), but I've had a pair of Sennheiser HD-280s for years and they sound great - really balanced, with a crisp high end and tight low end. Plus, they're really comfortable if you've been wearing them for a while (something a lot of people forget about with some of these headphones). They cost me $100 about 7-8 years ago, but I think Guitar Center is still selling them for the same price.
