FL was my first ever DAW I bought with my own money, as the entry price was actually affordable enough. I used to think the list of effect plugins wasn't extensive enough after trying other DAWs, but that has since changed with the recently added effects, most of which are included for completely free.
I also cannot emphasise enough how big of a deal lifetime free updates are. Having to buy Ableton Live AGAIN, just because a new version is torture, its insanity.
To summarize, as the kids say - It's the GOAT
Headphones (Mixing and Mastering) 10
Not my favourite for listening, but definitely my go-to for mixing! Aside from the quite loud peak at 8kHz they are fairly neutral, and for me personally the mixing kinda just mixes itself with these. I got mine used for 250 Euros, and for that price I think it is great value. But 550 Euros is a bit steep, so if you are on a budget consider the DT770 or the Sennheiser HD560s
I could go into detail with the bass, mids and treble, but I'll just say they're fucking amazing

Good build quality and very practical, but not very good for mixing in my experience. It is bad value for most production in my opinion, otherwise a great pair of headphones.

I hate these. The build quality is not good, the soundstage is claustrophobic, and the frequency response is all over the place, imaging is fine for the most part. Comfort is quite good and I actually like the look and design. But still, I can't think of anything worse to get for the price, but they have two redeeming features in my opinion; the first being they're a useful point of reference. What I mean by that is if your music sounds okay on these, it'll sound good pretty much anywhere. The second is the mic isn't half bad.
