Didn’t realize how good cheap studio headphones can be

I always thought you had to spend $200+ to get decent headphones for producing. I ended up buying the Audio-Technica ATH-M40x for about $90, and honestly, it sounds way better than I expected, really clear and pretty flat.

But honestly, there are a bunch of budget headphones in the $40–$90 range that get you solid sound without breaking the bank. If you’re just starting out or building a setup, it’s worth giving some of these a look.
