I get that many folks including some pros mix with phones. I’m not being dismissive of that.

What I don’t get is this. With my monitors I’m hearing, for example, a left pan in both ears while with phones I only hear it in the left ear. From my perspective this alone “colors” the sound differently, i.e., a different soundstage than what I would hear through speakers.

I guess with the earbud crowd it makes no difference. That’s the way they hear about everything...at least until their high frequency range is obliterated smile
