34 headphones rewiewed in comparison – plus reasons to mix with them
Not everyone has enough space in the studio for large speakers and correct placement. Besides, even the best monitoring system is useless if the acoustics aren‘t right. So why not mix with headphones? We‘ll show you which models are best for you and your sound, what to look for when buying them, and give you all the advantages for headphone mixdowns to give your tracks the final touch.
