Best Headphones in 2024 For Music Production, Mixing, Tracking

⬇️ Links ⬇️

I compare the top studio headphones out there! I test the sound quality, build quality, sound stage, frequency response, mixing, tracking, vocal recording, bass, midi, and treble, and I even test them with a headphone amp. These are the best studio headphones out right now. And one of them is under $50! Wow! I provide my top recommendations from these headphones as well. These headphones are the best selling and best quality for the price. Headphones include the Beyerdynamic, Audio Technica, Sennheiser, Neumann, Slate, and AIAIAI.

FYI: Beyerdynamic sells replacement parts so you could have easily repaired the headphones instead of replacing them. Not as easy as a plug in type but still a good option.

HD600 and M40x seem like a nice pairing that will serve the needs of beginners whilst also providing the headroom to accommodate their growth for many years to come.

I love my DT 770 80ohms, but I must say using them for the first time was quite confronting. The lack of Bass response and the very revealing midrange took a little to get used to compared to what I was using previously. However these are perfect for mixing sound that requires less bass response such as vocals and guitars. You can really hone in on the troublesome frequencies especially in the midrange, upper midrange and highs. I tend to use my monitors and sub to balance the low and sub low frequencies. Its a great method that works for me. Great to see what others use and how they get their results.

I've been using the Beyerdynamic DT 770 80ohms for at least a decade. They are the most comfortable headphones I've ever used and the sound quality is excellent. (Audio Technica's are good but not as comfortable) Price point is excellent. You'll see them al lot in studios.

DT 990 250 ohms have been some of my favorite to use because of how comfortable it is. Along with it's mixing and soundstage qualities, the air that passes through the cups makes it a pair that you can use for long amounts of time. Perfect for film scoring.

Your recommendations are always on point. Thank you for doing the research and testing them out for us.

I really l like the HD600 the most on this list. It has one of the best frequency response on a headphone that is right for mixing & mastering because of it's spaciousness & detail. I used the Audio Technica M20x for 3 years now, & the right side of the headphone is not working anymore just a week ago. But nonetheless, It was a great experience making music with the M20x! :) Right now it's hard for me, because I lost my M20x that started my journey on music. That's why thank you so much Sanjay for sharing these recommendations!❤ It helps me pick what would be my next headphone. Really appreciate your efforts on this one!🙌

[geekmastermind]

Hurray! I've been looking forward to this one, and you don't disappoint. I've been using the M50x for awhile, and I really love them. I've wish-listed the Neumanns, though. I'll definitely be checking out the Sonarworks software (via your link, naturally). Thanks again!

SanjayC is right. Every set of headphones, even if 'flat', has its own color and take on your music. But like SanjayC says, get to know your headphones and their sound reproduction for your own best results. LOVE this channel!!!!

[Hauxenz]

I've got a chance to work with the Beyerdynamic DT 770 and it sounds great! I also love how comfortable it is. This will definitely be added in to my Christmas shopping list!

[Lucas-jzvj]

I'd definitely pick the Audio-Technica M40X! It's a really nice, balanced option for everything, and the biggest bang for your buck, especially compared to the M50X. It makes more sense. It also really helps that it's so flexible, meaning I could still hear other things and people. Plus, I could take it everywhere much more easily. The comfort is good enough still as well.

Great video! These days, I use 3 headphone sets - DT770’s, AT M50x, and the standard Sony MDR 7506’s - they each have their purpose and strengths, and I use all 3 every week.

[by_antony]

Excellent advice for the beginner producer. For me, I use Audio Technica ATH M30X and ATH M50X, as well as Sennheiser HD 400 PRO, Beringher BH470 and One0dio Studio 10 (not recommended other than casual listening). Always great advice. Always accurate information. Always good... Always Sanjay C.

[heldersimoes]

anyways, I just really need to tell that i have this massive crush on your studio aesthethics...gives so much life to the video, thats definetely goals man

[dazbuc]

I love the DT990 headphones and have used them about 5 years recommended indeed.

[kuysre]

I started with the m20x's and they are great for the price but the m40x's are my favorite. Sounds more balanced for mixing on the go. Great video as always!

[MSJMusic]

I stand by the M50x for all my songs! I've been using them for a few years and they're so fun to produce on due to the colored sound. But mixing always came as a challenge for me so I'm saving up for a good Headphone to mix on like the HD600. As always amazing video Sanjay! Long time fan<3

[OnlyDharti]

🎧🎶🥳 you know my favorites!!!! Amazing video! I’m sure this will help so many people🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽💕

[ThruTheMatrix]

Instead of upgrading my Senheiser HD598's I just purchased Sonarworx Reference and that did a WORLD OF DIFFERENCE to the quality of sound. It's like I have entirely new headphones. This has improved mixing and mastering tremendously

[douglasfugazi]

I watched the entire video, and I have to say, the range of headphones you covered is impressive! Each of them has its unique features and strengths, but if I had to pick a favorite, I'd go with the Sennheiser headphones. Their sound quality is outstanding, providing a rich and immersive listening experience. The comfort and build quality are also top-notch, making them a great choice for extended listening sessions. Thanks for the compressive review. 🎉
