Beyerdynamic. I have the DT880 Pro, 250 ohm headphones. I have to use a DAC/Amp to power them from my PC, but...wow. the sound is magnificent.

My headphones, the Beyerdynamic DT 880 Pro, are somewhere around a decade old, still working great, and I use them with a Samsung GoMic and the setup has lasted for years very reliably with good performance. I hate headsets.

I use these: Beyerdynamic DT 880 Pro 250-ohm Semi-open Reference Studio Headphones They sound amazing and if he does any producing he'll want studio headphones so they work for both. They are your max budget though

Try DT 880 Pro and K702 And buy a good DAC Welcome in the rabbit hole ;)

BeyerDynamic DT 770/880/990 depending if you want closed, half-open or open. Best there is without spending a fortune. Once you touch proper headphones you'll laugh at how awful "good" brands like HyperX or Astro sound.

Beyerdymanics DT880 Pro, when I had it on the first time I thought I was in heaven. At the time it was my first time going into an audiophile shop and wanted to try the sivga headphones but felt disappointed, then one of the workers recommended me that. Thank you lady at stars picker malaysia in the old location

Genuine question: why would you not just use the same phones for producing/mixing and mastering? DT 880s and you're sorted.

Ive been using the beyerdynamic dt880 pro since 2019. Great soundstage and width but the default EQ is wack and kinda mid scooped and lean on the lows (they're also open back). I use them with sonarworks soundID and they're fantastic. I had ath-m50x, sony mdr-7506, and sennheiser hd650's and overall with sonarworks active they all sound really good, though it removes quite a lot of their individual character (which I feel is for the best). The ath-m50x and Sony 7406 are really flat sounding, and make guitar sound thin imo, so I didn't care for those. The Beyer's and sennheisers are great. Get drop HD6XX or 58X, call it a day.
