    need help choosing great sounding pro earphones!

    If this helps at all in describing what I am looking for: when I mix in the studio I have a pair of NS10, a pair of ProAcs and a pair of Genlecs with a sub. I mix primarily with the Genlecs and occasionally switching to the ProAcs to check on smaller and more neutral speakers. I rarely ever go...
