Sennheiser HD 206 507364 Wired Over Ear Headphones Without Mic (Black) : Read reviews that mention
By feature
Highly recommended for beginner producers, the mids need to be a bit more enhanced but the thing we need to keep in mind is that these are Headphones worth INR1500 NOT INR15k. The product is covered under 2 years warranty which is a great thing.
If you really want to know how flat these headphones are I will highly suggest you to download "Sonarwarks Reference 4", It's a paid software but you get a 21days free trial without adding any card details.*BONUS TIP*
Most of you must be wondering what kind of review is this? where is the usual pros & cons section?
Well, what works for me may not work for you, There is a debate in our industry since decades about the best budget headphones which you already searched or might search really soon, Some will suggest you about ATH M40x, Some will say Sony MDR 7506, Some people use ATH M50x for mixing (literally) and some say it has high bass, some say DT770 pro is great for mixing other say it has a V-shaped frequency.
"Flat" headphones & speakers are just a MYTH, It's just BS, these are not my words, These are words of Bob Power (44 years of experience & still active in the studio, platinum producer. wanna know more? Google him) The real art is that you should know your headphones, A producer/mix engineer can produce GREAT mix on these headphones (or any low budget) compared to an amateur who has the world's best studio. I have seen many masterclasses and read tips by many people who just say one that that only thing that matters is "your hearing", If you can train your ear and then understand your headphone then you can make a great mix, Learn from the bottom before getting costly 10k headphones after reading someone else's review, YOU WILL REGRET LATER ON, Initially you will love the product (Because it's better than what you have been listening to, Obvious psychology) but your ear will develop around those headphones, according to their frequency. I am again repeating initially you will be like "this is the best thing ever, everything is so clear, OMG OMG. I love them."
Train your ear as much you can, As said above get 21days trial version of Sonarworks and listen to as much music, bypass it via software then listen to original headphone sound and you will just understand the difference and 21 days is enough time to understand any headphone if you are dedicated and passionate about learning music.
"World won't listen to your music on the same pair of headphones (be it any pair), you need to develop a certain taste and check the mix in multiple sources and it can be your laptop speaker, your cellphone, your TV, your car speaker you need to find a way where it sounds good everywhere, This is what mixing is all about of course including EQing and adding FX"
I also recommend reading "Bobby Owsinski's book: A mixing Engineer's Handbook" if you don't have any source to learn.
Good luck with your venture.
The video I am talking about Bob is on youtube, Search: Mixing Masterclass with Bob Power [MixCon 2017]
WATCH THE FULL VIDEO, You might not understand most of it (if you are a beginner and no knowledge about the DAW he's using) but your brain will absorb these things and will definitely help later on. First 15-20 minutes is a must watch.
