good advice.. listen to tracks on as many systems as possible.. but those beyer headphones are actually great to hear how all the bottom end sounds sit in the mix together..

Beyer DT990 Pro cans are awesome. You can wear them for hours on end. In end-stage mixing and mastering, however, you will benefit from blasting your tracks through decent monitors and a sub... at sound pressure level 85... at least...

yeah right now i am using the "many medium" technique with nice headphones, shitty earbuds, a loud stereo, shitty computer speakers and boom box speakers. i keep going back and forth and taking notes until it sounds good on all. it takes forever.

I'll second the AKG call.

I use K141 studio, and have been nothing but impressed with the sound and comfort.

to those of you who produce with headphones, do you do your final mixdowns with headphones also? do you ever do checks with monitors?
