I want some very good headphones for monitoring my music in studio, the main music I do is orchestral and Piano music, Ive heard that the SHURE SRH940 are good or the sennheiser HD600 are good for Piano, I have also heard you need a headphone amp for this, I have no idea how to use a headphone amp and have never owned one and dont how I would set up one in my current set up, this is my current set up; im using my laptop (dell xps 15z) and have a usb alesis io2 audio interface with reveal 601a monitor speaker (which are really nice monitor speakers) and I am using some panasonic rp htf600 headphones in the alesis i02 audio interface but they are really rubish and too bassy headphones.

and your question is?

The answer is search. Or even just browse. Don't even have to go far back.

question is what is good headphones for piano music

I have a set of HD600's - very happy with them, although the ear pads now need replacing at some insane Sennheiser pricing.

IMO, it's a myth that they'll definitely need a headphone amp, although there are one or two devices that lack the current to drive them properly. I run them straight from my Fireface 800 headphone output with no issues.

thanks for your post, ok awesome do you think they would work well with the alesis io2 audio interface

No idea. But, try it. You can always add a headphone amp if find that you need one.

ok thanks for your advise
