Choosing studio headphones can be a confusing process. We size up this latest budget design
MusicRadar Verdict
What is it?
When it comes to studio headphone use, we often discuss the various merits of different types of designs, and for good reason. For mixing and mastering you’ll want something that is sonically neutral, but also enjoyable to listen to and comfortable. In contrast for recording we tend to recommend closed-back designs, as although these sound less neutral, they prevent headphone spill and assist with isolation.
Tascam’s TH headphone range has included a variety of designs over the years and although not as highly regarded as market leaders such as Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic or Sony, they are typically very well made and affordable.
Up for review we have the Tascam TH-11 Studio Headphones. These are a closed-back design and as the name suggests are primarily aimed at studio users. They use 50mm drivers and feature mid-sized ear cups. Meanwhile the full width padded headband incorporates the sliding ear cup adjustment mechanism. The cups have reasonable rotation, although not the full 180 degrees, so are not particularly DJ friendly. They also include hinged joints, so that they can be folded away for transport.
