what kind of headphones should i get?
Byi am a rapper well, on the line to becoming…
anyway i am making a home studio and i need some good and not to expensive headphones what one’s do you think i should get?
any from these catogeries?
Broadcast
DJ
Education
Noise Reduction
Stereo
TV
Wireless
With Microphone
Like any home studio equipment, good is not cheap.
If you want cheap, go to Circuit City, Best Buy, Sam Ash or Guitar Center & test their Sony headphones to find the ones you think sound best. Sony makes some pretty good sounding headphones for under $100, some as low as $20.
If you want good headphones go to Sam Ash or Guitar Center & test the headphones that are within your budget. The two most popular headphone with both Club DJs & production DJs (recording studio DJs) are the Sennheiser HD 280 Pro ($100) & the Sennheiser HD 25 ($200)
You do not want headphones with an attached microphone, unless you want them just because you think it looks cool. It’s better to use a microphone mounted on a mic stand.
The two most popular microphones with rappers are the Shure SM58 & Shure Beta 58A, but those are dynamic mics. Good for multi-purpose use (Both a live stage mic & a recording mic.).
Condenser microphones are better for recording.

I suggest Altec Lansing iM716’s. I have them and I love them.

They have great sound isolation and phenomenal sound quality. They sound just as good as several $200 to $300 headphones I’ve tested. They also have a volume control and "Bass Boost" switch, they don’t need batteries, and they’re only around $100. Plus you can use them with portable audio devices as well (MP3 players, CD players)
