I don't know what these Phones hold up against modern pho...

but it sounds like i'm listening through a giant metal tube.

I need some better headphones. I work on music with the
ones I have and think I have a decent mix, until I hook up
to monitors and then certain tracks are either way out in
front or way too quiet.

it's generally not a good idea to mix on headphones anyways,
because for tru-bass® you should really listen to
stuff through proper monitors because as we all know (or
should know), sound requires air to travel through

anyways, what the fuck do i know? my music is shit

work in whatever way gets you results

but you say that you're not happy with thre results you get
from mixing on headphones, so get some better ones (the more
expensive the better, spend a quarter of a thousand million
on headphones and then you'll be almost there)

there are some headphones which are actually designed to be
used as mastering headphones. my friend has a pair and he
absolutely swears by them. they're really small earbuds
that fit real nicely and can get loud as fuck without anyone
but the listener noticing.

could you not tell that i was being sarcastic with my drop
of the trademarked tru-bass®?

:p

honestly, it is a personal preference

if you love mixing with headphones and get good results,
then i'm jealous of you - i can't mix on headphones for
shit. i require the SPLs to resonate through a few feet of
air before smacking my musicdunghole and making my ears cum

so yeah, headphones work for some people, and don't work for
others :)

of course my attempts at humor are always tru-shit®

lol

if you bought them to make a fashion statement, then you
haven't been had. i hear that the large "old-school" look
headphones are back in fashion, and even if you're not
listening to the sweet banging, hip gyratin' tunes from Teh
A-fecks Tuhwinz, you will still get some sweet-dripping
pussy hanging from every dong you have.

but if you really wanted to do some serious work on your
headphones, then i really honestly don't know....personal
preference and all

:p

i don't use them for the final mix, but i have to when
working in the living room and my wife is watching teevee,
but i'd like some better ones so at least the work i am
doing is in the ballpark

yeah not a fashion statement, i just thought older
headphones had more clarity, but wow i am wrong

im forced into using headphones atm, i got beyerdynamics
which are good for bass compared to other headphones, but i
feel the music doesnt get as much punch and depth as my
tapco monitors at home.

but on the other hand my mixes become clear on the
headphones, but i do tend to have a bit too loud volume, and
more bass than usual, when mixing on them.

speakers > headphones imo

for me personally, i prefer mixing on monitors generally,
but when i'm trying to get panning just right, i'll switch
to headphones

but i would really love to experience music through a
surrogate dog.

it's sometimes dangerous to mix with headphones, cus they
makes things sound tighter than they really are, my
neighbours recently moved out, so i have been cranking up my
event alp 5s they pack a punch for thier size, but i like
switching to my hd 270s to get close 0(^_^)0

should have got yourself BeyerDynamics 100 or 150, which are
industry standard.

btw, whoever does main mix on headphones doesnt understand
what main mix is about.
