What headphones do you use?

they are the cheaper ones, yes - there is very little change in quality out of the driver though, like Si mentioned, I think it goes more in to the comfort/isolatioin area than the technology.

it all depends on your own personal mixing style what you buy

some wear them all night on the top of their head, some wear them around their neck all night (mixing off the shoulder), some take them off between mixes

take your hairstyle in to account when choosing! 4 hours with a band over the top of your spiked mop is not a good look

the best advice though, is to go and try some out yourself - we all have a different size and shaped head so what's good for one, is not good for another

I really fancy getting some inner-ear phones... thwe few times I've had to resort to using them I've found it far easier to mix.

Its just a proper shit-on putting them back in yer lugs to make adjustments in the mix.

what!

nonsense!

They are the most durable, and parts can be individually replaced.

edit: i see ive been beaten to it

Just turn the volume down on the mixer when you dont wanna here through your headphones?

Aye, tried that. Just need to get used to doing it rather than taking them out.
