Just found out that my beyerdynamics are defect. Got some crackling on dark sounds. First thought it's that (cheap) Behringer Eurorack, but it's not. Well, the latter adds quite some noise, but that's a different topic.
Any recommendations regarding headphones you are using for composing?

Cheers, Stefan

MB Quart Quartphone 95X or the later models (MB Quart 400, I think).
Incredibly open-ended and well-balanced, focussed, pleasant on the ear, even after extended listening sessions, wonderful!

Sennheiser and the AKG are the most mentioned headphones in boards I found. Just, as all those headphones are different, it's not always clear if they are a proper choice for the task, i.e., listening to various kinds of music or using them in a production environment.
So I assume, the ones you named are for studio use, which I am looking for

Thanks, so far.

Well I do all my mixing on my Sennheiser HD650. Most of the time I make music at night when everyone is a sleep so I can't use monitors for mixing. I love the details you can hear on them. They are like an audio microscope. Even the low end is very nice. And I would suggest open headphones any way since you can work way longer on them than on closed ones. (all in my humble opinion off course).

Oh I forgot to mention that I also have a pair of AKG 271. I use them in the living room to judge my mixes as well. These ones are closed and I get tired of them after a while. But they sound great.

I also like the Beyer 770/990 for their sound, but their cloth get so dirty after some time.
