All four cost less than 200 Euro, all four can be used for mixing and playback, yet each sounds different. Choosing the wrong model means mixing against a sound that isn\u2019t even in the track.

None of these four replaces a good monitor speaker, but each gets you closer to a solid mix.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Why closed-back and not open-back<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp; All four here are closed-back headphones-and that\u2019s no accident. Once a microphone is live in the room, nothing can leak out of the headphones, or the click track will bleed onto the vocal track. Closed-back design isolates sound; open-back models like the DT 990 or Sennheiser HD 650 sound airier but are useless in the same room as an open mic. &nbsp; The trade-off for isolation is a narrower soundstage. Closed-back models build the space smaller, making reverb tails and panorama harder to judge. That\u2019s why many studios split the workflow: closed-back for recording and loud environments, open-back for final mix evaluation in a quiet space. If you\u2019re buying only one pair, closed-back is the safer bet because it handles both jobs at least competently. &nbsp;[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<h2>The character of the four in detail<\/h2>\n<p> &nbsp; The Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro is the classic for tracking. Its soundstage is surprisingly wide for a closed-back headphone, with crisp highs that reveal details but can feel fatiguing on sibilant recordings. It\u2019s available in 32, 80 and 250 Ohm. The 80-Ohm version strikes the best balance between interface volume and bass control. &nbsp; The Audio-Technica ATH-M50x delivers the punchiest bass of the quartet and the sturdiest build. It folds flat, the cable is replaceable and it lasts for years. The bass makes it a favorite with beatmakers, yet it tilts the balance slightly: anyone mixing exclusively on the M50x often ends up dialing the track\u2019s bass too far down. &nbsp; The Sony MDR-7506 is the veteran. Analytical, mid-focused, uncomfortably honest. It flatters nothing, which is exactly why it\u2019s been in TV studios and edit suites for decades. For editing, dialogue and troubleshooting in the mix, it\u2019s unbeatable value. As a casual-listening headphone, it\u2019s not a pleasure. &nbsp; The AKG K371 is the newest design and the most neutral. AKG tuned it to the Harman target curve-the frequency balance that most listeners prefer in blind tests. The result is a headphone that neither leans forward in the bass nor the treble. For beginners hunting a reliable reference, it\u2019s the safest pick. &nbsp; <\/p>\n<h2>Impedance, gain and connecting to the interface<\/h2>\n<p> &nbsp; A common stumbling block for newcomers is impedance. The DT 770 Pro in the 250-Ohm version needs more voltage than some budget interfaces\u2019 headphone jacks can supply. The outcome is a weak, low-volume sound that\u2019s not the headphone\u2019s fault but the lack of drive. The 80-Ohm version or an interface with a strong headphone amp solves the issue. &nbsp; The M50x, the 7506 and the K371 all sit in the low-impedance range and play loud enough on every interface, laptop and phone. If you\u2019re working exclusively on a notebook or a mobile rig, these three are therefore the better choice over the high-impedance Beyer model. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Which headphones for which task<\/h2>\n<p> &nbsp; For pure recording and maximum isolation, the DT 770 Pro is the go-to. For the mobile all-rounder with robust mechanics, the M50x. For editing, dialogue and a tight budget, the 7506. And for a neutral mix reference you can trust, the K371. &nbsp; None of these four is a bad buy, and none replaces a proper monitoring setup with treated acoustics. But each one takes your tracks further than any laptop\u2019s built-in cans ever could. If you know your main focus, this list gives you a decision that will last for years. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"display:flex;gap:24px;flex-wrap:wrap;margin:32px 0;padding:20px 24px;background:rgba(117,178,169,0.1);border-radius:12px;border:1px solid rgba(117,178,169,0.3);align-items:center;\">\n<div style=\"flex:0 0 auto;text-align:center;min-width:120px;\">\n<div style=\"font-size:2.8em;font-weight:800;color:#75B2A9;line-height:1;letter-spacing:-0.03em;\">4<\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size:0.8em;color:rgba(255,255,255,0.65);text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:1.5px;margin-top:4px;\">Models<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"flex:0 0 auto;text-align:center;min-width:140px;\">\n<div style=\"font-size:1.6em;font-weight:700;color:#75B2A9;line-height:1.1;\">from \u20ac100<br \/><span style=\"font-size:0.7em;color:rgba(255,255,255,0.5);font-weight:500;\">Sony MDR-7506<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"flex:0 0 auto;text-align:center;min-width:140px;\">\n<div style=\"font-size:1.6em;font-weight:700;color:#75B2A9;line-height:1.1;\">up to \u20ac140<br \/><span style=\"font-size:0.7em;color:rgba(255,255,255,0.5);font-weight:500;\">AKG K371<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"flex:1;min-width:200px;font-size:0.95em;color:rgba(255,255,255,0.85);line-height:1.5;\">Four closed-back studio headphones that have been industry standards in home studios for years-and all for under \u20ac200.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin:12px 0 32px;padding:12px 18px;background:rgba(0,0,0,0.4);border-radius:10px;border:1px solid rgba(117,178,169,0.2);\">\n<div style=\"font-size:13px;color:#75B2A9;font-weight:600;margin-bottom:8px;font-style:italic;\">Reference tracks to audition new headphones<\/div>\n<div style=\"display:flex;flex-direction:column;gap:6px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/69kOkLUCkxIZYexIgSG8rq\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"display:flex;justify-content:space-between;align-items:center;padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(117,178,169,0.06);text-decoration:none;\"><span style=\"color:rgba(255,255,255,0.8);font-size:13px;font-weight:500;flex:1;text-align:left;\">Daft Punk \u2013 Get Lucky<\/span><span style=\"color:#1DB954;font-size:11px;font-weight:600;white-space:nowrap;min-width:70px;text-align:right;\">\u25b6 Spotify<\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/2Fxmhks0bxGSBdJ92vM42m\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"display:flex;justify-content:space-between;align-items:center;padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(117,178,169,0.06);text-decoration:none;\"><span style=\"color:rgba(255,255,255,0.8);font-size:13px;font-weight:500;flex:1;text-align:left;\">Billie Eilish \u2013 bad guy<\/span><span style=\"color:#1DB954;font-size:11px;font-weight:600;white-space:nowrap;min-width:70px;text-align:right;\">\u25b6 Spotify<\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/5ChkMS8OtdzJeqyybCc9R5\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"display:flex;justify-content:space-between;align-items:center;padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(117,178,169,0.06);text-decoration:none;\"><span style=\"color:rgba(255,255,255,0.8);font-size:13px;font-weight:500;flex:1;text-align:left;\">Michael Jackson \u2013 Billie Jean<\/span><span style=\"color:#1DB954;font-size:11px;font-weight:600;white-space:nowrap;min-width:70px;text-align:right;\">\u25b6 Spotify<\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/6ZFbXIJkuI1dVNWvzJzown\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"display:flex;justify-content:space-between;align-items:center;padding:8px 0;text-decoration:none;\"><span style=\"color:rgba(255,255,255,0.8);font-size:13px;font-weight:500;flex:1;text-align:left;\">Hans Zimmer \u2013 Time<\/span><span style=\"color:#1DB954;font-size:11px;font-weight:600;white-space:nowrap;min-width:70px;text-align:right;\">\u25b6 Spotify<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"position:relative;margin:32px 0;padding:24px 28px 20px;background:rgba(117,178,169,0.06);border-radius:12px;border:1px solid rgba(117,178,169,0.4);box-shadow:0 0 20px rgba(117,178,169,0.2), 0 0 40px rgba(117,178,169,0.1), inset 0 0 30px rgba(117,178,169,0.03);\">\n<h2 style=\"margin:0 0 8px 0;font-size:1.3em;color:#75B2A9;letter-spacing:1px;\">Q&Acirc;&amp;Acirc;

Closed-back models isolate sound and are mandatory when recording, so nothing leaks back into the microphone. Open-back headphones sound airier and are more pleasant for mixing, but they\u2019re useless in the same room as a mic. If you\u2019re buying only one pair, go closed for maximum flexibility.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details style=\"margin:0;padding:0;background:transparent;\">\n<summary style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:flex-start;gap:12px;padding:14px 4px;cursor:pointer;list-style:none;font-size:1.02em;font-weight:600;color:rgba(255,255,255,0.9);line-height:1.4;text-align:left;\"><span>Is the extra cost over a \u20ac50 headphone really worth it?<\/span><\/summary>\n<div style=\"padding:0 0 16px 0;color:rgba(255,255,255,0.65);line-height:1.7;font-size:0.94em;\">For casual listening, not necessarily. For production work, yes-these four models deliver a predictable, well-documented sound you can rely on year after year.
