Monitor headphones vs regular headphones — what’s the difference?

Regular headphones are designed to enhance your listening experience, so manufacturers have integrated technology to manipulate the frequency of the audio before it reaches your ears. Commercial brands will emphasize the bass and treble to make the music more enjoyable for the listener while drowning out other aspects of the song. However, this technology is not helpful for sound designers and audio technicians, as instruments can get lost behind the drums and basslines. Pro headphones or as they are also known, monitor headphones, are designed to balance all frequencies so that the audio is translated as accurately as possible to the listener’s ears. No part of the sound spectrum, from the lows to the mids and highs, is elevated.
