    krk kns-8400. they're cheap, they sound really really close to krk monitors (as close as headphones can), and they have memory foam around the ears so you can wear them for a whole month at a time.

    I like the Beyer DT770's - Bit more expensive but worth it IMO.

    AKG & AudioTechnica do some good studio quality Headphones but Sennheiser are probably the best value in your price range. A lot of guys recommend the HD 25's. I haven't used them myself tho.

    I was gonna recommend the Beyer DT770's too,
    you should save a little extra, because these cans are really worth it.

    I was looking at these as well! My HD25's I keep for DJ'ing only.

    consider this an investment man and dont go affordable just wait until you can afford ones that will do the best job and have more lastability. HD-25s all the way sir

    I beg to differ. however no producer should just use headphones to produce imo.

    Camo and Krooked swear by there 25s. I have 25s and the 203s I prefer the 25s for DJing and the 203s for production as I find the bass response better.

    to those who think 25s are good for producing, why?
