Hi All,

My baby sister in-law is studying music production at university and she is looking for on-ear headphones. Clarity is obviously very important. Could you make some suggestions from £20 up to £60 please.

Thanks Smile

I'd look into the Superlux HD668B. They're big and ugly, but extremely accurate, erring slightly towards brightness, and have detail retreival I haven't heard in much else short of the ATH Mt0s. They come in at about £30.

 

 

I can't imagine that a low end pair of noise cancellers will be particularly good for use as a pair of studio monitors.
