Best mixing headphones!

I have a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO 250 ohm phones. Open back design & also very OPEN sounding. IMO they sound way more expensive than the $200 they sell for. Great for checking details on a mix or in mastering. U could save yourself some $$ dough w/ these unless u have...

Which of your synth rules did you break this year?

...cheer me up and get the creative excitement going.

Right now Im having the time of my life...

my favourite headphones, by far. :)
...and I have a lot of them: AKG, Fostex, AT etc.
Excellent sound and construction. I use them all the time, but only for ME. Don't ask, I'll never let you wear them.

Originally I bought DT990 Pro to use in my synth set-up (without a computer) but the coiled cable quickly became problematic, so I plugged it into my computer, replacing DT770 as mixing headphones.

My first impression when I played some music was like: "My ears! It hurts!" because of the amount...
