Nevertheless, on the eve of the new year, we decided to share a list of headphones worth paying attention to. All models from the list are suitable for working with Realphones and can be an excellent gift for the new year!
AKG K371
The frequency response of these headphones without correction has no sharp spikes and almost completely corresponds to the Harman curve, which can be useful when using headphones with synthesizers and household devices.
We recommend purchasing the wired version of these headphones, as it has better sound insulation, and there are complaints about the reliability of the headband about the wireless version.
KZ AS10
DT 900 PRO X
Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO
Beyerdynamic DT 900 PRO X
Without Realphones correction of the frequency response, the sibilants in these headphones may sound a bit sharp, there is also a slight lack of presence due to a dip in the 3-4 kHz region.
Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO
Sennheiser HD 600, Sennheiser HD 650
Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO
DT 1990 PRO are energy and punch, and because of their engaging sound, they will be an excellent choice for working on arrangements and mixing electronic music, hip-hop, and rock music.
It is worth remembering that these are high-impedance headphones and they are quite demanding on the sound source. Among the disadvantages, we can note a rather sharp sound with a predominance of high frequencies when using these headphones without Realphones correction.
Sennheiser HD 800 S
If you are looking for headphones with the best spatial imaging - these are for you. Due to their design features, it feels as if the source of sound is at some distance from the listener. HD 800 S will be an excellent option for working with acoustic and academic music. But when working with modern electronic music, you may lack low-frequency punch. The sound of these headphones can be described as calm and analytical. These headphones are positioned as audiophiles, so they have a “beautifying” frequency response, for this reason, it is difficult to evaluate the timbres and tonal balance of mixes with these headphones without correction. With the correction, the
Sennheiser HD 800 S are an accurate and excellent mastering grade monitoring tool.
7️⃣ Those headphones that you already have
Sometimes it is very difficult to make a choice. But there are no perfect headphones - even the most expensive models have disadvantages. We recommend focusing on the strengths of your headphones, and Realphones will help make them even better. It is important for any master to be able to achieve results using the tools that he has. You will achieve more if you start looking for the "right" sound for your track, and not the "right" headphones that should do all the work for you!
