I'm going to start mixing live sound for events on my school and some of the other mixers said I should purchase a pair of headphones. I have set a list of parameters shown below, help me decide which headphone to get:

 

BUDGET: 150-200

 

USE: Live audio mixing on an Allen and Heath ZED 436

 

PREFERRED CHARACTERISTICS: 1/4" adapter, black in colour, compactible, noise isolating, swiveling ear cups, ability to fold 90 degrees.

 

PREFERRED MANUFACTURERS: Audio Technica, Shure, or Sennheiser. 

 

Thanks for your help!

One of the other mixers showed me these ones. I might get these ones, but do you know how the compare to the ATH M50Xs?

The Shure ones seem to be a bit nicer but both are amazing headphones.
