aphex944, the test is in the pudding. have a go for yourself with the DT880 for mixing. mastering and mixing music are not the same as listening to music. some music might sound fantastic coming throught your DT880 but alas it's bias and colored. taking into consideration all the factors that play into a proper neutral and balanced mixed, i don't recommended the DT880 for that. it might be great for listening pleasure.

If the goal is neutrality, you must take into consideration the medium which is reproducing the audio. I KNOW the DT 880 frequency response curve, and I know how it reproduces audio. I'm not going to sit there and EQ up the high frequencies on a DT 880. Just as I would not crank up the bass on a DT 770 or 990. |
