As the name implies, anything branded a studio & professional headphone will have been designed especially for use in a studio setting, with a particular focus on accuracy and transparency for monitoring and mixing. These headphones present an accurate image of your music than consumer headphones, allowing you to hear every nuance and aspect of your music. Therefore, having a good set of studio headphones is just as important as any other gear in your studio. These headphones provide a fresh perspective to that mix you’ve spent hours working. This gives you another set of ears. You want studio headphones when critical listening is a priority, in comparison to more entertainment uses (like listening to music in your living room, gaming, watching movies, working out, etc.
Factors to consider while buying Studio & Professional Headphones:
Closed-Back Or Open-Back - In your search for studio & professional headphones you will encounter closed-back, semi-open, and open-back headphones. This is very important because they're pretty different from each other. Closed-back headphones have ear cups that are completely closed off, and since the soft foam (or leather) pad forms a seal with your head around your ear, the sound has nowhere to go, so it stays inside the ear cup. The majority of headphones out there are closed-back. Open-back headphones have ear cups that are not closed off. The part of the ear cup opposite your ear - the one that faces the outside world - is open, meaning that instead of sound staying contained within the ear cup, it can travel outwards. For best isolation, you’re going to need Closed-Back headphones. If you’re mixing or monitoring when recording electronic instruments, then Open-Back headphones are going to give you a more natural sound and be less fatiguing on the ears.
On-Ear Or Over-Ear - On-ear and over-ear is a pretty easy concept to grasp. An on-ear headphone rests on top of your ear, and an over-ear goes over and surrounds your entire ear. You can choose a headphone that best suits your preference.
Frequency Response - Every headphone advertises its frequency response, which is the effective range they can reproduce of bass, mids, and treble. Some headphones have a frequency response beyond what humans can hear (5 to 35,000 Hz for example). What you should look for in a pair of Studio & Professional Headphones is accuracy and keep in mind the headphone's frequency response curve.
Comfort - A headphone’s comfort is as important as the sound, no matter how you feel about any other criteria. If a pair feels like a head vice after 30 minutes, you’ll never be able to focus, get in the zone, and truly enjoy your music production.
