Studio Headphones

I owned a pair of nice Shure in-ear monitors, too. I much prefer the 770s to them (Now the Shures go to the gym with me for workouts). The reason I went looking in the first place is that the in-ears didn't reproduce bass very well and I was overcompensating for their shortcomings. That became obvious when I played the tracks on any other system, as the bass tended to drown out the other parts.

I can't speak to the M-Audios, though. They could do a much better job.

They do, the bass is stunningly accurate, and never puffy, like all over ear headphones.
In fact even the high end shure`s have amazing accurate bass response

I use a combo of Beyerdynamic Dt770 pro's and Sennheiser HD 650's when I do have to use headphones anyway.

i have heard alot about the in ear head phones and every one i speak to rates them. i am too big and clumsy for the though - i would break a pair in a few months.
i got some grado sr235i 's and i must say i love them they cover the whole freq range very clearly hi's are crisp the bass is fat and the middle devine - i would recomend them to anybody
