Headphone for content creator

Felmbo

Hello everybody,

 

I just started my YouTube channel and I need a good headphone for editing and monitoring.

 

the budget is 250-300$.

 

Which is better a cheaper headphone with amp/dac or an expensive one that don't need amp/dac?

 

Thanks

I use Sennheiser HD280 PRO.    They work really well.

They are the lower cost end for great value.   There are higher level models at higher price.

the K612's and HD600's are damn good for editing

Before you buy amp and dac.  My thoughts on the M50x  Ultimate Ears Reference monitor review I might have a thing for audio...

My main Headphones and IEMs:  K612 pro, HD 25 and Ultimate Ears Reference Monitor, HD 580 with HD 600 grills

DAC and AMP: RME ADI 2 DAC

Speakers: Genelec 8040, System Audio SA205

Receiver: Denon AVR-1612

Desktop: R7 1700, GTX 1080  RX 580 8GB and other stuff

Laptop: ThinkPad P50: i7 6820HQ, M2000M. ThinkPad T420s: i7 2640M, NVS 4200M

If the main use of these cans is for monitoring audio, yes. They're the best monitoring headphones in their price range.
