I got a pair of M40fs to assist with recording and mixing. I don't have any flat response monitors (just stereo pc speakers -- which aren't too bad), so I do all preliminary mixes on headphones. The M40fs headphones are sounding thin to me. I think the mids are strong with the bass and treble scaled back a little (sort of like a telephone EQ) or the highs could be over accented. I am not really knowledgeable enough to describe it.

I am just worried that I will adjust the EQ too much and mess up what the mix will translate to on different speaker systems. I know until I get a good set of monitors and learn to use those in my room, this will be an ongoing problem. But, for now, I still need a set that gets the mix as close as possible. I am thinking about returning these and getting another pair in the $100 range -- any ideas/comments.

Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas!
