Well, not really - they don't deal at all with in-ear monitors - which offer many benefits to the home recordist above and beyond over-the-ear headphones. A huge benefit is that proper in-ear-monitors offer much better isolation than any over-the-ear/circumaural headphones, so you can do a better job placing microphones for acoustic instrument recording. Their definition of in-ear monitors is quite weak at best.

That isolation also comes in very handy when mixing as well as when listening in noisy environments like airplanes and trains.

They are much better at multi-purpose use than open backed circumaural phones.



If you're talking about the reverence in-ears I totally agree with you. However not all in-ears are suitable for mixing. My Earproof T2-Pro in-ears (full concha twin driver) are hyped in the mid-high area. This way I can hear my vocals on stage stand out above all far better than when I use my Sennheiser IE8 with custom made earmolds. The Sennheisers tend to sound more bassy; just the way most consumers would like it. Both in-ears are not suitable for mixing.

But again; if you would purchase a good set of reverence in-ears (full concha) you would have a great monitoring system. They are comfortable to wear, cancel out room sounds like computer fans etc and they sound the way they should. Only downside is the price...
