Is it worth it

Thinking about purchasing some monitors but where i live at the minute i can’t play my music loud at all.Im doing all my production through my headphones so is it worth buying any speakers if i can only use them at a low volume.

You don’t have to mix loud - infact I never do - unless I am drunk and want to annoy the neighbours (ok thats every nite then)

I’d say definitely Man.

Dont know your situation at all… but if you can play them at low-medium levels, then you’re grand.

In fact, you can probably pick out more stuff at lower volumes than higher.

I’m sure you’ll get to crank them up every now & then :wink:

But I’d say its essential for getting a sense of WTF is happening with your sounds. Sucks wearing H’phones 24/7… If I were you, I’d buy them.

Also, maybe some others could give their opinion, but theres some good open back’d h’phones that give a bit of extra “space” (I believe) - they give a truer stereo picture.

Yeah the akg240 mk2 headphones are like this and they are regarded to be pretty good.

F&@k the neighbours, get some monitors :slight_smile: lol



Have a look at the little krk’s !!
