So just had a post on to check if anyone has tried the beyerdynamic dt 770 pro. Reviews seem on the positive size.

Take a look at the JVC HA-RX700. They are around $50. They are huge and look goofy but they sound great and SonarWorks SoundID Reference has a stock profile for them.cosmicdolphin wrote: ↑Sat Jul 25, 2020 7:29 amShort answer. None of them ...I've not seen any recommended budget studio headphones for that low of a price. Sennheiser HD 280 PRO MK2 seem to be well regarded as a budget option at under $100collmerosie wrote: ↑Sat Jul 25, 2020 3:59 amI also need suggestions on what headphones to buy within the range $45-$60

Re: I need new headphones, any suggestions...
I'll second these, the AT_M50x's. I've been using the same set of sony mdr-7506's for over 20 years (got to admire the longevity), but when I started incorporating the AT_M50x's into my mixing routine everything got noticeably better, especially the low end. It's hard to end up with a muddy boomy mix if you go back and forth between good monitors and the AT_M50x's. They also isolate better than the sony's, so you get less headphone bleed when recorded vocals or acoustic guitar.
The main headphone wire is detachable which is cool and also the ear pad wires are hidden inside the frame, which I really like...in theory they should hold up better in the hands of novices or idiots (i mean rappers) in the studio, though I'm done running that experiment. I've had at least 6 pairs of various brands get ruined by rappers being careless with headphones, i've re-soldered/fixed at least 4 of them only to have it happen again within a matter of months. Now I make them use apple ear buds which they seem to actually like, lol, and they've yet to destroy a single set.

These are OPEN headphones. They won't give you the isolation you probably want for recording acoustic instruments & vocals, but they are very accurate for mixing and editing.
While mixing with these headphones I use 112db's Redline Monitor: http://www.112db.com/redline/monitor/
Product reviews:
"The first week I've been listening to music much more often because these make it sound so much better."

"... excellent open ear design, true sound reproduction..."
(bestheadphonereview.com, 08/2010)
"The clarity of the DT 990s is superb. You hear everything, whether you want to or not."

+1 on this - the level of comfort is second to none in my opinion!
