Attention to detail is everything in studio mixing. A good pair of headphones is your microscope. You need flat, extended frequency response in order to perceive the most minute sonic detail without false coloration. You also need reliability and an ergonomic design, so the experience of using your headphones is as transparent as the sound.
For all of this and more, you can turn to Audio Technica's ATHM40fs Precision Extended-Response Monitor Headphones. Their wide, even frequency response lives up to the Audio Technica name. The construction is excellent, with 1,600 mW of power handling, high SPL capability, 40 mm diameter drivers, neodymium magnets, and CCAW voice coils. The cables, drivers, and ear pads are field replaceable, so should you ever need a new part, the down time will be minimal. And these ATs are designed for comfort and ease of use, with one-side exit cable and rotating earpieces for easy one-ear monitoring. Audio Technica has fine-tuned the details on the ATHM40fs so that you can do the same.
