Hello Everyone I’m new to this forum website. So I’m wondering whats the Best Headphone for making music and for mixing and monitoring.
I also play Electric Guitar and do Vocals, I do a lot of different styles of Music.
I’ve got Fiio K3 for the Dac and JDS Atom for the Amp.
Let Me know what headphone i should get thanks.

Well if your mixing and monitoring i would assume something neutral and natural sounding? Whats your budget?

Are the Sennheiser 280 HD Pro or 300 HD Pro good?? Did some research and they seem great for my usage.

Very solid monitor picks, pretty nice

beyerdynamic DT1990 that @Antpage2 mentioned come to mind

Sennheiser HD 280 blocks sound from the outside extremely well. Keep in mind that for monitoring yourself recording vocals, you might want something more open.

Sony MDR-7510 is another nice affordable option.

Or every broadcasters default: Sennheiser HD-25 (comfort may be an issue, they last for ever though)

Ollo HPS S4 might be what you are looking for

My only gripe with the ollo stuff is the u shaped sound they have, which is pretty strange being marketed as neutral. Otherwise pretty decent headphones. My guess is that they ended up going for a u shape for lower level listening to combat equal loudness, but at levels you typically work at for studio they tend to sound pretty u shaped.

Theres also the Audio Technicas that are pretty neutral. the 2000’s are pretty great from what i hear. maybe @M0N knows which one for you

They really aren’t neutral, the only at that I would call neutral would be the r70x and the adx5000 on a tube, the rest of the audio Technica have a pretty crafted sound
