This may be a good spot to discuss some options for this.

Anyone want to tell what they use for monitoring that seems to transfer well to a lot of systems? I know a lot of it is a matter of knowing and being familiar with your own monitoring devices. But there are some things that can help. Having a system that overemphasizes and under-delivers in certain frequency ranges can make things tougher than it has to be.

One low cost headphone option is the ATH m40f/s. For me these seem to tranfer pretty well. I never finish a project in headphones, but for those times when headphones are necessary, these, to me, give a fairly good representation.
When they come off and I go to the nearfields, it seems like a pretty seamless transition most of the time.

I recently got a set of the ATH M50's (twice the price) and have liked them less and less as time goes on. To me they overemphasize a lot of the upper/lower range (especially lower). They've been delegated to lesser demanding applications. Price isn't always a representation of quality, I guess. They look cooler though <:rolleyes:>

I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
