If you are on a budget (like me 🥲), Audio Technica's ATH-M20X might suit you as it has for me. For the monitor, I had used Presonus Eris 3.5 and it wasn't that bad for the price. If you need a speaker that you can carry with you, Headrush's FRFR108 or FRFR Go might be an option as well.
KZ ZSN Pro for IEM (over $50 if you want them wireless with a Bluetooth module, though)
1MORE Sonoflow for wireless (these will be more in the $50+ range, but they're the best wireless headphones I've used for their price tag)
Audio Technica ATH-M20X for wired (they sound super similar to the old Hyper X Cloud 2s)
Been buying AT headphones for about 20 years now, the quality on the budget products has gone downhill pretty drastically, but their mid range/expensive gear is still really really good quality.
I am particularly well equipped to answer this because I JUST got a new ATH-M20x in the mail two days ago as a replacement pair for my 8 year old ATH m-20's and thought "wow, these feel at least twice as flimsy than they used to"
That being said, they still sound amazing. Even for cheap ass 50 dollar headphones. The build quality on the more expensive Audio Technica studio headphones is considerably better, you can go check them out in person at any decent music store. If you are careful with your gear the ATH M-20 will be fine, but they are of the quality nowadays where they might break if you sit on them or something.
(You could drop a brick on a set made in the early 2000's and they would be fine)
For me, they are, but with details I.m not a proper Known Pro, but have a lot of years in the game. Apparently they are pretty good for the price, but, finally, is your ears what makes the difference. My personal opinion, there are no "perfect must use" headphones despite some people claiming that this or that brand and model are neccesary. My personal trick, is to test your final results in your old portable radio CD, in your car sound equipment, everywhere you can. With practice, you will learn what your headphones are good for or not and what to check in monitors or external devices so you will get used to the sound they give. For the price, reviews and technical description, i would say yes. BUT eventually you will move to another ones.
