but u’l probably not be interested cos u think i duno my thumb from my dick on this sort of thing, well i got them recommended by someone who does, so nerrrr :p
Ideally you want a flat frequency response for studio monitors/headphones, this means at all frequencies the volume is the same if a test tone that sweeps all frequencies is played through the headphones. This would show up as a horizontal flat line on the graph if it was a perfect flat response.

They don’t look like they are designed for studio use as they are pretty coloured (I don’t mean the lines on the graph :laugh_at:, I mean they look like they have a frequency response made to sound good rather then be an accurate representation of the sound playing out of them :wink:)
You see the big boosts at around 7/8Khz, 100Hz and around 30-40Hz with the cut at about 60 Hz, this is roughly what you might want to EQ a song like to be punchy with a lot of low sub and a shiny high end. This is more what you would expect from Hifi/DJ headphones. They sound good, but aren’t ideal for creating music.
If the headphones have an unrealistic frequency response then you will EQ your tune to sound good on the headphones, but when you play it on another pair of headphones or speakers It’ll will not sound right. For example, if like on them headphones there’s a boost at 100Hz, you’ll make a tune where the volume of 100Hz is perfect on the headphones, but because of the unnatural boost you’re headphones give that frequency, when you play it on other speakers, 100Hz will be too quite, as it will not have the same boost at 100Hz necessarily. If the frequency response of the headphones you make the tune on has a relatively flat response then you’ll not have this problem as you wont compensate for any boosts/reductions your headphones make when mixing down your tune. 😉
