Recommended Headphones for your Home Recording Studio Setup

Nowadays, in the modern home studio, where sound isolation issues can make the use of studio monitors an issue ( especially those late-night mixes) headphones are the solution.

The two main categories of headphones are:

• Closed Back - where the main requirement is sound isolation when recording.
• Open Back - where the priority is sound quality over sound isolation when mixing.

Whether you need both will depend on your setup and if you plan to use your studio monitors for mixing. However, it is a good idea to have more than one pair of headphones in any case.
