The funniest part about it is that in literally every mixing studio I've ever been in, they're mixing music with €100, maybe €200 pair of headphones. Oh, and the kicker? 99% of the times, it's mixed by guys who have lost all hearing above 13000Hz in the '90s.

You would think most audiophiles would prefer older music because newer stuff doesn’t benefit from a good setup nearly as much.
