HI,

There are two headphones from the same company, but only need to buy one set. The tech specs are nearly identical, but one is listing as studio monitoring headphones ($150), and the other is listing for studio mixing headphones ($70). Please give me some advice.

Guess: Spend the money if you can.

Recommendation: I love my Shure SRH440 cans

Rock on, good people! :punk:

I have the Shure SRH400 too, but thinking to return for an exchange. I couldn’t listen for more than three songs and it started to irritate me. It was like a brick on my head. I was wearing from my forehead to reduce the weight pressure. My ears got warm and sweaty after the 4th song. Without a doubt, the Shure cans make Adele’ voice many times better, but it destroys Lady Gaga - no bass. If you are into vocal and neutral Eq then it’s a good choice. I like some bass.
