Ditto Sennheiser HD280. Great close backs.

I use Sony MDR v6 which is a very popular and affordable choice.

I edit exclusively with headphones but I use my levels meter to judge volume. Just like I would use my wave form instead of my monitor to judge exposure. Everyones work is different but for me I’m listening for problems but I agree it’s good to listen to the final results on speakers.

I really like headphones because they isolate all the background noise I get at home, computer fan, ac window unit, leaf blowers, lawn mowers, you name it, there is a lot of background noise out there.

Hey, I have just bought a headphone but I think I made a wrong purchase because I bought a headphone with bluetooth. I think you need only need a cable and not a bluetooth in the video. I hope you can reply me as soon as possible so I can remove my order if it is wrong.

There's often too much delay in Bluetooth for me to use it when syncing audio to video.

Sonorworks headphone reference is a piece of software that is supposed to eq your phones (and does some other, deeper magic) to make them suitable for sound/music mixing. They have presets for many different models of cans or you can literally ship your phones to wherever they are they will profile your set and make a custom correction for you. You can either run your entire machine through it (so all audio out of your machine is “accurate”) or insert it as plugin at the end of your chain on the master channel (turn it off when rendering final outpt). You will find polarized reviews by people who both swear by it and think its crap.

I have used it for music mixes since I cant set up a proper room, and it definitely seems to help. I’d say if you mixed with the Sonorworks/headphones to get close, and then listened on some other systems (monitors, even in bad room), computer speakers, etc., you should be able to “get there”.

It runs about $100 and has a free trial.

I just can't mix properly on headphones. Great for getting close, but equally, I'd rather mix on headphones than horrible speakers.

Re: To improve the sound of the PRIME X299-DELUXE video card?
 

It’s both. Yeah, horrible speakers, yuck. My M-Audio Monitors fit my bill, and if essential or getting to mix-down (?) Senni Cans. I use Cans on any iZotope RX work that require a more forensic approach.
