Don't use headphones

12.88.90.10

If you want to know what your mix really sounds like, don't use headphones.

Headphones will never tell the truth about the bass, the soundstaging and many other audio cues that occur in "space" but not in the closed cavity between the headphone element and your ear. (I say this about any headphones, regardless of price.)

You may enjoy the sound but that's not the same as the Truth.
Get some good monitors (not what they use in studios), place them carefully and you'll be able to hear what you're doing.

Happy Listening!
