Advice for a good set of monitor headphones?

[RedMoses]

I was thinking about these Focal Listen Professional, Audio-Technica ATH-M50x, Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO-250.

Not sure really and you can't get out to listen to them

From what I can see the Focals are probably hitting the mark atm.

Oh, budget is around £200

The Beyer's are a great basic studio workhorse, I own at least five pairs. Not the flattest and closed back makes for quicker ear fatigue, but absolutely solid. Combine them with something like Sonarworks and you're gold. I use the Beyerdynamic 1990 Pros along with a pair of Audezes for mastering purposes frequently, both a bit off your budget limit though... I don't have direct experience with the Focals, but several of my mastering cronies use Focal headphones and speak highly of them... Sux that you can't test them out at present...

I got a pair of Beyer DT 990 Pros with a DAC and my mixing has come on leaps and bounds since.

I’m a huge fan of the Focals, they really have such nice sound and comfortable for long periods of time..
