on 8/2/2008 try $99.99. http://www.guitarcenter.com/Sony-Pro-MDR-7506-Headphones-271056-i1126810.gc

on 3/18/2009 its called 'choosing the best headphones'.

all he has rambled on about is buying 'good headphones' which could be a little misleading, it depends what you want.

you can get headphones for £40 that work fine, you can get headphones for £320 that work fine, it just depends how you use them.

this man obviously has been recording on some other planet

on 8/2/2008 Tad- I would like to share something with you. I run a studio, a real one. I don't invest money into expensive headphones. Would you like to know why? Because they get messed up, dropped, kicked, stretched, and abused; it's the nature of things in a real studio. That is why I don't by the bad'boys as you like to put it. I go through about 4 sets of headphones every 6 months. Lets do some math shall we- 150$ x 4 = 600$ Times that by 2 to make a year, 1200$ annually in headphones. I buy low grade ones for about 40 to 50$ a pop. Same math: 400$ a year, that makes much more since. Ladies and Gentlemen, buy a nice set for yourself- provide economy headphones to clients, they can always bring their own.

I went ahead and got the best headphones, headphones, you know, $150, $170, it is worth it to get some good headphones, you know, why not. I mean the guys appreciate it, they put them on here when they come here and they go to other places and they have cheaper headphones and they hear it, they go, I can hear better over there with these headphones on, than I can over this place, they are going to come back, why not give you guys something really good, this is not all that expensive but the Sony, these are the professionals, these are the bad boys right here, these things are clean, lite, big sound, it is the only way to go.
