I doubt that the Dre’s were flat. I believe Beat would lose sales for recreational consumers. I have been confirming my mixes with AirPod Pros. I was was surprised when the wired AirPods exposed high bass levels after monitoring with Sennheisers. You may like the Air Pod Pros. I do recommend HS3 or

MY CURRENT MIX: Please give constructive criticism!

I recommend that try to kick up about $230.00 and get a pair of the Yamaha HS3 of HS4 ($245.00). Guitar Center current have used for $165.). Don’t let these little speakers fool you. They can get pretty loud if needed. Loudness is not what you need to achieve a good mix especially if your room isn’t

Finally got an Aeron for my Mac Setup

Yeah these are the Yamaha hs3. The smallest in the lineup. I started with 8’s then had 5’s and now the 3’s which save so much desk space and still sound really good. You could definitely still use them for hobbyist music production or for demo work.

Smallest table top monitors you can buy?

Yes there are small monitors but you will want a subwoofer to go with them (you can put it under the desk). For example, a pair of Yamaha HS3 or HS4 with an HS8S subwoofer.

Can i use a subwoofer with a guitar amplifier?

i think a lot of people are missing that you're using this system for playback, casual music listening. no it's not going to sound great or full range, but yeah i mean you can connect things up and it will all make sound personally tho since it's the holiday season i'd just look around for whatever

Why do my vocals always sound too crisp/bright in the mix?

You were better off getting monitors first. It’s going to take time to learn your headphones. Head phones are good for portability, prevent disturbance and as an additional to monitor. For the money I recommend Yamaha HS3 or HS4. These little monitors will surprise you. I got them because I felt the

Ain't Much But I Got A Little Basement Setup Going.

Nice setup. Looking real good. As for the monitors, you’ll see a lot of people suggest JBL. Nice monitors. I’m partial to the Yamaha HS series. You can get a pair of the HS3 under $250.

iPhone 13 - Bandlab - Headphones

Bluetooth for serious monitoring should be placed as “no other choice.” Get the HS3s. I have Rokit 8s plus the sub, Yamaha HS3s, SennHeiser HD380 Pro, AirPods Pro & wired Air Pods. The HS3 is the monitor I use & trust to process and mix my tracks. They are going for $230.00 on Amazon. Guitar Center
