Which headphonesdo you suggest for the Helix Floor?

[ullo1955]

Hello, everyone. I have a Helix Floor and would like to use the headphones so as not to disturb anyone. Can you suggest a really good model for me to hear all the parameter changes that are put into a patch? I would prefer not to use mixers for space reasons. Thank you all and have a great day

I use Tangzu Wan'er in-ears. Very affordable, well balanced and never get harsh. They don't fatigue the ears, have good detail and I enjoy playing through them.

 

You might need a TRS extension cable if you use the Floor on the ... well ... floor.

I use the Beyer Dynamic DT 990 Pro. Love ‘em.

I use Sony MDR-MV1 with my Helix & Pod Go, and balanced 4.4mm when listening to music

with ZX-707

I use these, and they works all great. The 770 sounds a tad weak because I have the 250 Ohm version.

1. Shure SRH840A
2. Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO

3. AIAIAI TMA-2 Studio Wireless+

Hi,

 

A lot of this sort of thing comes down to personal preferences - everyone will have their own favourites.

 

In your case, you mention “not to disturb anyone”, that would make me point you in the direction of the “closed back” option, in an attempt to control any “audio spill”. Further to that, you don’t mention what budget you’re considering - this can make a big difference.

 

There are many, many threads in here all asking for suggestions for headphones - it could take weeks if you went through all the listed products. Ultimately only you can decide.

 

I have a few sets of cans, but I generally find that the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x are usually close to hand and therefore are the first ones picked up. They are a bit of an studio standard for closed back phones.

 

Hope this helps/makes sense.
