I've got the BH800 and have a Gig tonight with Jo Harman which is an Acoustic Show and Boaters in Kingston on Sunday with Jacqui Hicks, Simon Carter and Frosty Beedle which will loud! I have run the BH800 and K210 up in the house and it sounds very nice and accurate. I will report back later on my findings...

Hi [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Lowregisterhead,[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] I was wrong, the power rating is the same at 400 watts for the K210 and RS210.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]All the best,[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Phil.[/font][/color]

Hi Lowregisterhead, I tried the BH550 and the K210 recently and they sounded great, very full bodied but with a nice mid and top. The K210 is cheaper than the RS210 (which I had) but has a higher power rating so should be ok on smaller gigs. My BH800 K210 rig arrives this week, so I will report back once I have it. I did have an RH750 but the low end which is rolled off frustrated me a bit with my 5 string, the BH550 I tried sounded great with my Overwater J5. I compared the BH with the Aguilar Tonehammer 500 and Sans Amp 500 and found it to be slightly less coloured and more 'modern' sounding than the other two, although it was a close thing between it and the Aguilar. The tone prints are great and save me taking loads of pedals and stuff out! I will let you know how I get on with the K210 soon. All the best, Phil.

Hi, I have one very similar except orange fur and is definitely genuine. They don't all come a logo btw.

Hi All, I have used a lot of different headphones in 30 years as a working pro, some say 'professional' on them, steer clear of these! Beyer DT150s are great as they have an enhanced low and high end compared to DT100s but are for monitoring not mixing. I carry DT150s for tracking session as most cans I find (usually DT100s) on sessions can't handle the amount of bass I want to hear. A lot of Theatre Shows spec Sony 7506s and I bought a pair home to evaluate them. They don't take much stick on the bass end to make them pop and they have a sucked out mid. I used these in a Show for monitoring as they were provided but I cannot recommend them for mixing. Grado cans are a good hifi choice but unlike Sennheisers and Beyers you can't get any spares. They are nice to listen to but make everything sound 'pretty' and are not built for 'Pro' use. Audio Technica cans come up time and time again but as with all these thing you need to be able to listen to each pair with some music you are familiar with. They are good value though and well engineered. I have an old 600 ohm pair of AKG K240 DFs. They take a lot of driving but are very 'open' sounding and very revealing for placement of sound, reverb/fx amounts but are bass light. A new pair of these with a more suitable ohmage would be good although they are fairly open (not well insulated) and any background noise could be distracting. A friend of mine uses and swears by the Focusrite VRM box. Some of the work on these tracks for Mothership; http://www.mothershipofficial.com/Mothership_Official/Music.html were done using a VRM box, although probably not the final mixes.. Summing up you won't find headphones that will tick all the boxes. Get yourself a decent pair and learn by listening to your mixes on lots of different systems. I have some Soundmagic E10 bud type headphones to check/listen to stuff on after mixing via my iPod. They have a relatively decent even response, although no speakers or headphones are 'flat' in response. A couple of good websites to look at are iHeadphones.com or Studiospares. Good luck studio! Phil.
