Subject: Re: Headphones for Research Purposes From: Warren Bakay <warren@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 8 May 2012 14:54:34 +0100 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>I really recommend the Audio-Technica ATH-M50. They have an excellent frequency response, especially at the price point, and good isolation and durability characteristics. But, I would also recommend checking out head-fi.org, where there are lots of reviews, opinions, and other discussion, on headphones.
