Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

Hello Steve,
Then I would definitely go for open back headphones, and Sennheiser or  
AKG.
I believe AKG made a pair that were intended to address the imaging  
issue that occurs with hearing the sound from "inside the head" rather  
than in a soundstage between the speakers, but I can't recall which  
model it was.
My suggestion from my own experience would be buy the best you can  
afford in the Sennheiser HD6* range.

There are sets on eBay at the moment for around 170 UKP

Best Wishes
