A great piece of tech for established and budding producers alike are the Audio Technica ATH-M50 headphones (and the price won’t hurt the wallet!)

Audio Engineering lesson 101 – The number 1 quality you are looking for in a set of studio headphones is a flat sound. This means that the low (Bass), mid and high frequencies come through at the correct volume without any “peaks” or “dips” in the frequency response.

These bad boys don’t lie to your ears and will help you get the sound you’re specifically looking for! Put an honest sounding audio reproduction with a tiny emphasis on the low end, all in all you will be on your way to understanding mix downs to help improve the overall mastering of a track.
