i'm searching for good allrounder headphones for mastering
and mixdown, i've just got 2 eltax consumer boxes, a
selfmade 200 watt box and a 60 watt box on my table. maybe
good monitors would do the job too. but actually i'm
searching good headphones...

I think Sennhesiser are generally considered the best out
there...prices are pretty high tho but they do some cheaper
models that are still pretty sharp...

Altho I've recently got a nice pair of Technics phones that
have a very nice warm sound...and very comfortable to wear
for a long period (a lot of phones are very heavy which
tends to be too obstrusive)...but perhaps not that good if
you want a fairly flat sound for monitoring/mastering....

but like most audio stuff, it's all fairly subjective so
probably best to get yourself down to a decent hifi/music
shop & see what suits you best....

Also try Beyer Dynamics. Mine are awesome sounding with
great comfort.
Anyway, u shouldn't master with headphones. Headphns are not
stereo, they're binaural. Also phase cancellation never
happens on phones.

i just have AKG's at home, and they're more for classical
music (good for high frequencies) thx for the tip. so which
monitors would you recommend ? it's just a homestudio, not a
professional recording studio, no vocal recording and so
on...

Being a trained audio engineer, I recommend Sennheiser
aswell. AKG would be a solid choice too.
