Speakers VS Headphones

[qa2pir]

Do you mix your songs on speakers or phones?

 

I've found that mixing on speakers (not pro speakers, just regular listening purpose speakers) makes it sound good both in headphones andt the speakers whereas the other way around doesn't work quite that well (when i mix on my headphones the bass seems to kill people if i play it on speakers).

Headphones all the way!!

 

I don't use monitors... or anything really, but headphones...

I use monitor headphones, although I'd use them in combination with monitor speakers if I didn't live in an apartment with neighbors. I find that my levels in headphones can be deceiving, and after I finish a track I have to listen to it in various modes, like in the car, on crap computer speakers, etc., before I can tell what's too loud and what's too soft. After which I adjust the levels appropriately.

 

I'm wondering if my Sennheiser 280pro headphones, although decent for monitoring, are not the best. Anyone have any good monitor headphones advice while we're at it? (No Sony recommendations, please, for godsake.) I'm assuming closed, circumaural is best? I'm kinda leaning towards Beyer for my next set.

currently use headphones but want to switch to speakers asap... I"m sure 3 hours or more straight with headphones is not a good habit to form

i have plugged in both speakers and headphones and I'm checking all the time if what I'm producing on speakers sounds good on headphones too. A good track has to sound good on all kinds of speakers, that's what I'm trying to reach here.

Headphones can damage your hears and the music is to be played from speakers... i prefer speakers.
