    Thanks everyone for replying! I'm considering the ATH-M30x's now as well as the KRK KNS-6400. Maybe I'll even spend a bit more for a pair of MDR-7506's or a Beyer DT-990. I'll test all of them at a local music store and then we'll see :thumbsup:

    And to all the people who say that using headphones for mixing & mastering is blasphemy: I sure get your point, but still, if I have the choice between producing on a pair of decent headphones and not producing at all, I'll gladly take the cans.

    Best help when mixing in phones: 1st. Phase analysis, But don't let it auto correct until you listen for yourself and can compare A to B. 2nd. As many of your different friends stereos or studio monitors as will tolerate you listening to your own things at their house. Listen at the lowest possible level. What do you still hear? Then Joe Walsh and I both say: "Rock and Roll is made loud to be played loud. CRANK IT UP!" :rofl:
