What do you listen to your instruments on?

The accurate answer is a pair of JBL 104's (non-BT) that I recently bought. Before that it was a pair of Eris 3.5s, which I used to mix and master our last two albums. I have a few decent pairs of headphones, including a proper pair of AKGs, but I don't like using headphones and I don't need to any more, because I can listen as loud as I like as late into the night as I feel like. e.g. Last night I still had my speakers running flat out at 1:30am and 20m down the marina you can barely hear anything.

I use Yamaha HS7 as monitors and DT 990 Pro headphones. I like both of them and I would replace them with HS8 and the same phones if they are damaged one day.
For listening to music, YouTube, games ... etc, I also use a cheap Logitech speakers with sub (z313). They are surprisingly good with a deeper bass than my HS7! But the HS7 have more details in mid and high frequency of course. Anyway, I listen with low to mid volume usually on all of them.

I use the DT 990 Pro's for close listening, and I use AKG 141 Mk2's for the actual production, but I miss my HS80M's , they are boxed in another room as I simply don't have space here, but when I move next year I will be doing that, so I can't wait for the three points of reference.EnGee wrote: ↑Sun Sep 19, 2021 6:57 am I use Yamaha HS7 as monitors and DT 990 Pro headphones.

Don't trust those with words of weakness, they are the most aggressive

The HS80M/HS8 are good. I should have bought them instead. Anyway, I might add a sub in the near future, although my music is not bass heavy. The problem is I don't hear/feel the bass clearly on HS7.LeVzi wrote: ↑Sun Sep 19, 2021 7:08 amI use the DT 990 Pro's for close listening, and I use AKG 141 Mk2's for the actual production, but I miss my HS80M's , they are boxed in another room as I simply don't have space here, but when I move next year I will be doing that, so I can't wait for the three points of reference.EnGee wrote: ↑Sun Sep 19, 2021 6:57 am I use Yamaha HS7 as monitors and DT 990 Pro headphones.

A pair of Event Opal and a potato when I just need to enjoy music as it needs to be enjoyed.
Please don’t read the above post. It’s a stupid one. Simply pass.

I use a oscilloscope and potatoes so i am sure that each instrument sounds like the real deal.
Not so interested in the Song/Melody only that it looks perfect on the oscilloscope
