The silver and black that would pay it's cheerleaders decently.

and they sound fabulous, too! i most often use them for monitoring my final mastering jobs;

i have one of these patched into a tape loop in my system;

- i can digitally record whatever audio program that pipes through my system using it,
and commit it to CD-R or -RW. from there i can take it to my PC and run it through MAGIX AUDIO CLEANING LAB
to produce as clean and high-quality a final CD copy as the source material and judicious use of the programs' NR effects will allow,
used only when absolutely necessary, of course; the less futzing, the better the fidelity of final product, as always.

with this chain, i can make "needledrops" (CD-R copies of vinyl LPs) that, to my ears, sound every bit as good as the source record...

I don't want to be rude in this matter because I don't know what you are mastering using these cans, but although they are very nice vintage cans the technology in it is overaged by far.

Maybe it's wise the have another more suitable pair available to compare during mixing and mastering.

I'm overaged too and need to repair the SE-30 and 50 pairs...I can get any rare earth fancy headphones I can afford, and have a couple of really nice Sony pairs as such. Headphones are not my listening mode of choice except on the computer where I normally use a formerly folding pait of Sony phones I accidentally broke the headband in half and fixed with cardboard, foam cushioning and wrapped in electrical tape (because the band was pretty uncomfortable anyway). The Pioneers are more comfortable that my old Koss and maybe my Roberts and Lafayettes. Somebody rewired my Panasonics and they did that side out of phase, otherwise I like them as well.

I had a really nice pair of SOUNDESIGN headphones once and I gave them to a niece with her vintage stereo system.
