re earbuds.
DANNY C. wow i like those audiophile ones. nice

to everyone/deryk.
the problem is the listeners listening environment has changed.
i dont know anyone who once had fancy expensive hi end hi fi stereo systems useing them anymore.
put it down to the celphone/tablet phenom.
maybe the odd person here and there uses one.
but if you go down the street in any city , everyone is bopping to earbuds.
same in peoples homes.

the other conundrum is ive known people use very hi end studio monitors to mix on, in wonderfull control/mix rooms, but the mix might not translate to lower end playback systems.
and these people ive known in the past were very very experienced. would put me in the shade
experience wise.
thus its very difficult for us mere mortals. lol.

try a well recorded classic song on dollar store buds .
sadly thats what a lot of people listen on these days.
i call them "sizzlers". lol.
its a shame really. creators put so much effort into high
quality product , only to be listened to on sizzlers.

my songs....mixed for good earbuds...(fyi..my vocs on all songs..)
