I know there are a few people on here doing a bit of recording - I'm putting together a little scratch pad rig to record vocals, guitars,bass over some drum samples or click - whats out there to listen to the tracks and play along? Using a Presonus 2 in 2 out with its own monitor output.
I'm seeing a Sennheiser / Sony face of for around a hundred, but wanted to pay under half that if possible to still get something OK (OK is fine for now).
Any other options you're using?

I have the 'classic' cheap AKG ones, which I think might be the K240, but they might not be closed enough for recording. They're certainly closed enough to make your ears melt!

AKG ATH-M20x here. They're about £45. I don't have much to compare with, but did used to work in Pro audio and they sound ok to me.

I like Audio-Technica. Something like the ATH-M20X should do the job at that price point.

The original studio standard and in my mind still the best -

I tried a number of closed back phones around a year ago and settled on some SH Sennheiser HD25s for £50 off ebay - I preferred the sound to various others with RRPs up to £300
