Bruno de Souza Lino Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 The million dollar question here is: Do the phones JRR are offering with the license even have a Sonarworks profile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll check, but I remember the bundle with headphones you can buy direct from Sonarworks comes with Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro headphones instead of some Sony MDR-7500 lookalike models from a budget brand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit hard to tell because there's zero information about the phones on JRR. All of the product page is Sonarworks marketing stuff.

cclarry Posted March 4, 2021 Author Share Posted March 4, 2021 Also, at this price point, I wouldn't expect them to be very much.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently using a pair of Sony MDR-ZX110 that I had to put new TRS plugs in twice and the cushions are worn to the point the phones don't fit snug in my head. I'm used to "less expectant" phones. Not buying that bundle because I don't have money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replacement ear cushions are readily and cheaply available. I recently did mine as the original ones were starting to flake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PavlovsCat Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 How do you guys who really know mixing well think Sonarworks compares to the Waves system? I'm trying to decide which one would be best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the headphones: Monoprice DJ headphones Expect what you pay for. I own a pair, I use them when I need close back headphones, and I have Sonarworks. They are not bad, but I have never been tempted to even try mixing on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
