Headphones for a Tonelab LE

[eyeball987]

I am currently using Sennheiser HD201's but feel like I could do better. I get some unnatural distortion in the high end sometimes. I poked around and saw that they are rated for having >0.7 harmonic distortion.

I saw the Sen HD 280 has 0.1 harm distortion but the Sen HD515 and Sony MDR-7506 look promising too. I am trying to keep this under $110.

What are you using? Opinions?

Don't count on the phones to improve the distortion you hear based on specs.
Try before you buy with your gear at your listening levels.

GC and other stores don't seem to like the "try before you buy" policy when it comes to headphones. I can understand that I guess.

What are people using with their modelers?

I never use phones with mine, because it doesn't help me make a sound that sounds good through a system. Tweak with headphones, plug into the house... sounds bad. Plug into the house and tweak... success...

BUT... I like my AKG k240s.

I use these.
