What are the best headphones for music production and mixing?
It's a good question! Today I hope to help answer it. Please ask me anything about any of the headphones in the comments of this video and I will reply with detailed notes and feedback :)

Good headphones should:
1) Provide an accurate, spacious sound stage to aid in mixing and mastering music.
2) Reveal low, mid and high frequencies without distortion so you can make quick production decisions.
3) Faithfully reproduce the dynamics and transient response of the material.
4) Reveal the depth of audio material.
5) Feel comfortable on your head for many hours and be strong enough to withstand daily ues.

Notes:
- It appears that the AKG K702 is now produced in China (it used to be made in Europe and cost much more). This likely explains why my experience doesn't match what others have said in previous years.
- The DT 770 pro really is a step above the rest here and if you can afford it, I think it offers the best price to performance out of these 10.
- There were many other headphones which didn't even make it to this top 10 due to:
Lack of customer support/brand new company with no track record
Terrible first impression etc
