Hey guys.
Got 2 questions for you...

1. What do you think about RME Babyface Pro as an audio interface for mixing?
2. What headphones for mixing would you recommend under 500$? I'm thinking about Sennheiser hd650, Hifiman edition xs, and Audezen MM-100

If you're willing to go a bit more, I'd highly recommend & would add Neumann NDH 30 to list (currently on sale, conveniently enough :) ). I replaced my HD600s with them and have been pleased as punch since. Was actually meant to use in conjunction with the 600s, but I haven't taken the 30s off since I got them (not literally, their one downside is they are a bit uncomfortable without some extra padding and a slight tilt forward so not resting directly on top of head - but with these adjustments they're good to go for hours)

Also using a RME ADI-2 DAC for playback & they're a great combo (I think I would have gone with the babyface if I needed inputs, but I already had a Roland octa-capture for that)
