Hi Fivestring,

I love to listen in more than one environment on my mixes. I have a pair of JBL 8" Powered Monitors and a set of Sony MDR-7506 headphones that I use. The perfect tool to get a good and accurate response for both is the following:

Sonarworks Reference 4

For my speakers they provide a test mic to calibrate my JBLs to the room and it's bad frequencies. Then on the headphone side they have hundreds of headphone models to establish a flat response. I checked the Sennheiser model you are looking to buy and they do offer a preset for that model.

This tool isn't required when using headphones but it does go a long way into improving the sound when you do have to use them.

The software is free to try so you can test with the headphones you do get and see if it helps you. My two cents.

Good Luck with your headphone shopping!
