RH450 with Headphones

[Gibbles]

Can anyone recommend a set of headphone that will sound good when practicing with the RH450. Something in the $100 or less range.

I just went thru a headphone search and ended up with Sennheiser HD280s when I saw them on Amazon for $74. They are a significant improvement over the < $50 stuff I have been using prior. I was looking for something with that was at least flat in the bass region. These have a slight boost or maybe a slight attenuation in the low mids. In my search, most $100 studio phones had a roll off in the bass region.

Absolutely unbeatable in that price range, true pro sound. I was floored by them and I have $300 Sennheisers to compare them to.

Same here - I needed a second pair to do some mixing work @ home and couldn't believe how excellent they sound. Not well known yet but they should be.

Thanks for the suggestions.
