I tested the best headphones for music production and mixing. Please read below for information about how I compared them.
Good headphones should:
1) Provide an accurate, spacious sound stage to aid in mixing and mastering music.
2) Reveal low, mid and high frequencies without distortion so you can make quick production decisions.
3) Faithfully reproduce the dynamics and transient response of the material.
4) Reveal the true depth and image of audio material.
5) Feel comfortable on your head for many hours and be strong enough to withstand daily use.
I tested each headphone with a high-quality headphone amplifier and a standard MacBook 1/8 audio output. I referenced, mixed, and listened casually to each headphone over the course of many weeks and months to reach my conclusions.
