Scott,
Thanks for this input.
This is all a very helpful discussion. After trying many yesterday, varyin=
g in price from $80.00 through $250.00 - Beyer Dynamic, Audio-Technica, Sh=
ure, AKG, Sennheiser, etc - I have narrowed down my decision to two phones=
: Sony MDR-7506, or the Sennheisser HD 25-1 II (there is a $115.00 priced d=
ifference between the two as well)
I have not A/B'd the two, but am taking advice from most on here.
I do not like the idea of wind noise that supposedly occurs while using Son=
y cans in the field, AND I would like to hear more about that from anyone t=
hat has experienced that low end rumble. I do plan on doing some outdoor n=
ature and music recording, as well as indoor monitoring/mixing.
Thanks again folks!
