to compare with akg cans.

the problem as i see it, is, we all obsess over getting good mixes on superb 'monitoring gear ' BUT the wider population is listening on cheap grungy gear//earbuds etc etc.
very few are useing big studio monitors or even auratones used by studios.

the above quandary has haunted me forever.
as to best approach.

i'm super excited to try the Grados cos they come highly recommended.

The reason for using proper monitors is so you can be sure of what you're hearing, not the end user. It is really hard to make good mix decisions if your listening environment is not accurate. That is the biggest obstacle to making mixes that translate.

You do the best you can while listening to the most accurate representation you can get and then you have to let go. Once it gets out into the wild, all bets are off
