at some point I'll need to do something more "Pro" but for $90 I thought this might be kind of useful. I still have a couple of better headphones in the studio, too....

OK....I figured that two of them will fill the need in the studio until i can put together something more robust....

You know...it's just for tracking. It doesn't have to be the best sounding system on the market, IMO. I've gotten by just fine with my Behringer 4 channel headphone amp and a motley assortment of headphones. I've only got one set of headphones that cost more than about $30, and I don't even use them for tracking anymore because my $30 Sennheisers actually do a better job of isolation. :idk:

I ended up ordering 2 of them today....for my needs they will probably be more than sufficient. and the price is right.
