so i've been rocking a pair of DT-880 Premiums for nearly 6 years now and i'm looking for a change. the best thing is how comfortable they are (lighting clamping force) but perhaps they sound a bit "unexciting" for my purposes.

i've always had my eyes on the 6XX because of the price point and the fact i'd like to try out Sennheiser. the new 900 Pro X look really nice too.

one thing to consider is that these aren't only for mixing and mastering (personal music/passion project type stuff), but for general use and listening. essentially doubling as, and as close as i'll get - to a pair of "hi-fi" headphones, if you will.

that being said, which would you go for?

Welcome to the forum.
I've been thinking about a new set myself; maybe next year.
This is my research so far.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

FWIW, I notice BT's first listing has ATH-M50 listed
I traded my M50's for M40's, and have bought a couple more M40's since. Not due to any problems, just needed more headphones for the studio.
Everybody's opinion will be different of course, but I technically lost money on that that trade and still feel like I came out ahead.
M50's have exaggerated bass in my opinion, which was messing with my mixing efforts when played on other systems.. if you have an opportunity, do compare before buying.


Make your sound your own!
.. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

I have many sets of ‘phones including many on the list. Anything is fine for tracking, IMO.

For critical listening, I trust Sony MDR-7506 and the Slate VSX when used with their proprietary app. The VSX is the most comfortable pair I’ve ever worn in over 50+ years of studio work.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
