Updated on Tue, May 30th, 2023
The studio headphone prices on this page are updated live, from multiple vendors, along with the price alerts and price history. Note that we'll add headphones to this page as we're able and also welcome suggestions in the comments section.
We've archived headphone pricing tools for a ton of the most famous studio headphones on the market. This includes many of the popular sets from Audio Technica, Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic, and more. Please note that this is not a review or a ranking, but simply a resource to check live pricing for headphones you want more information on.
For each set of headphones we've included the following:
- Live pricing table with multiple vendors
- Price alert tool (set your own price and get an email if/when it reaches that amount)
- Price history chart (plots the price points whenever it changes)
Note that if a price history chart only has one bullet point, this page has simply not aged enough to track any changes in the price. Check back for more data and new prices. Also note that we do note track price history for Amazon listings.
Otherwise, enjoy the headphone price tools and make suggestions or ask questions in the comments section below. We'll see you there.
We partner with retailers we trust and use ourselves, which helps us avoid banner advertising entirely. As a result, we might get a commission if you shop through our orange buttons, yet at no extra cost to you. Thank you for your continued support.

What are studio headphones?
Studio headphones are usually large-form, over-the-ear headphones with cups. These cups cover your ears instead of just the front of your ear canal, like a set of earbuds would.
This creates a much bigger and fuller sound, allowing you to hear a wider range of frequencies.

The Audio-Technica ATH-m50x studio headphones and their carrying case.
This puts you in a more complete listening experiences, allowing you to pickup subtle nuances you might have missed otherwise.
These headphones often have a flexible headband and are made to be worn for long periods of time without cause discomfort or fatigue.
What are the different types of studio headphones?
While there are a ton of studio headphone variations, the primary three categories are the following:
- Closed back
- Partially closed back
- Open back
Closed back headphones cover each ear cup without any kind of opening. They keep your ear completely isolated without letting in any ambient sounds. Open back and partially open-back headphones purposely let out inside sound. This can be better for people playing in a band, when they want to monitor something but also hear what's going on around them.
What can studio headphones be used for?
Primarily, studio headphones - closed or open back - are used for the following:
- Casual listening
- Musical instrument monitoring
- Recording, producing music, and recording studios in general
In most cases of large-form headphone use, it's in a studio or some kind of recording environment. Live sound and musical instrument monitoring are the next most common uses.

Studio headphones are most often used to mix and produce music or monitor instruments.
Comparing studio headphones
It's very hard to compare studio headphones without first listening to them for yourself. However, you can compare things like pricing, frequency range, open/closed back, quality of the headband, wired/wireless options (we prefer wired that can be disconnected), length and strength of connection cable, and how loud they are.
In most cases, you don't need to get into the more technical aspects of studio headphones to compare them.
Our advice is to set a price range and do most of your research within that scope.
Pros and Cons of Studio Headphones
There aren't a lot of downsides to studio headphones, especially if you get a really nice set. So we'll go over the pros first, then list a few drawbacks:
Pros
- They sound great
- Usually really comfortable to wear
- Work great for mixing and music production
- Can block out external noise
- More detail in the sound
Cons
- Larger ear cup design can make you sweat after awhile.
- Those that don't fit right will easily slide off.
- Pretty big for toting around
- Many are cost prohibitive
How Studio Headphone Prices are Displayed
In this article we've displayed price charts from multiple retailers that are updated in real time. The alternative is to just pick up pricing on each retailers site individually, like you would any other product.
In most cases, you'll see the full price listed with new products and the used price listed underneath, if any are available.

The Status Audio CB-1 studio headphones.
Discounts are usually displayed with the prior price crossed out and the new price highlighted.
Easy enough.
Typical Price Range
We've included headphones in this list that are both popular and extremely expensive. However, most studio headphones are priced in the $100 to $500 range, especially the more popular brands like Audio-Technica and Sennheiser.
What are the top five studio headphone companies?
Here are the top five studio headphone companies that we would recommend:
- Audio-Technica
- Sennheiser
- Sony
- Beyerdynamic
- OneOdio
These are very active brands (they release a lot of products) and provide many of the most popular studio headphones on the market.
What is the best value set of studio headphones?
If you're looking for a good-value option (lowest possible cost with highest possible quality), we'd recommend the following:
- Audio-Technica ATH series
- Sennheiser HD Series
- Beyerdynamic DT series
These are released regularly, though you can easily get older versions from years past at fairly steep discounts.
Conclusion
We'll try and add new headphones to this page as we're able. You can also make suggestions in the comments section below. If you have questions about the pricing tools or a particular set of headphones, let us know and we'll help out as much as possible. Once more - all pricing updates automatically in real-time, so you're getting the best information possible.
