Best headphones for transcribing bass?

[Dave Speranza]

Hi all,

I am considering purchasing a pair of high-end headphones in an attempt to get more accurate transcriptions and have an easier time of it. We all know how hard it is to hear a bass note clearly when Tony Williams is bashing like a wild man and my current headphone set-up ain't cutting it.

What are you guys using?

Thanks

I have been looking at hd600 myself but I am searching here also for recommended cans for the same such work. as well as for general practice.

Last summer I found a shop that was selling the Sennheiser HD555 set for about $85.00. I think they sound clear and rich, if maybe a bit on the warm side, and are extremely comfortable, at least to my head. I use them often...

Wow, they've got headphones that transcribe bass now. What a world we live in.
