NOT looking for alternative suggestions... there would be tons of opinions. Just hoping some guys here have the Senns' or the Sonys.



I have used the Sennheiser HD800 headphones for about 1 hour. They were insanely great as open backed phones. Seriously, I have not heard a better set of open cans since I used to use STAX electrostatics on a regular basis.

Now, with that said, I do have an alternative solution for you Mitch - I realize that you said no alternatives, but just in case you have some extra GAS. The company I work for is Westone Laboratories. One of our product lines is in-ear monitors. I believe ours are the best on the planet.

You can use these for mixing in rather loud or quiet environments with the same precision as over the ear cans. You can use them for 'walking around' headphones without looking ridiculous with giant muffs over your ears. And you can use them for their original purpose of in-ear monitoring while performing.

We just launched a new website this week. Here's the link: http://www.westonemusicproducts.com/music/

Warning - the custom shop pieces are absolute works of art. If you add their function as wearable art then you have yet a 4th use to the audiological usages.
