Some selective reading going on here........in my very 1st post i said MULTIPLE sources, please check again.
I also explained why most high end headphone are bad for mixing and this is not theory, this is actual experience. If i didnt see it happen many times i wouldn't even mention it.
*Audiophile* flat= no bass bloat which is not truly flat, it's rolled off bass which=missing information. When you try to mix with rolled off bass, your brain compensates by adding more bass, and as you know more bass makes mixes bottom heavy, muddy, and collapses your soundstage, all while sounding normal on your $5000 cans.
Again, this is not theory, actually seen it happen.
Now i expect everyone to stop reading here but the reason i said Beats are better for mixing than HD800 is a. Beats tuning is the most popular tuning in the world so its a great reference and b. Your mix STARTS OUT MUDDY and when it start out muddy you natural clean everything up: put it this way, no way no how are you going to make that mix any muddier.
A clean mix on Beats headphone will be clean on any playback device created, while a clean mix done on high end headphones will only sound clean on other high end cans.....you play that same mix on a pair of Beats tunes headphones or the average crap playback system, mud city.
If nobody understands that i apologize because i obviously explain myself poorly.
The music biz has been my only source of income
for decades and i have have a tough time communicating
