Yes laptop speakers and ear buds is what things whittle down to. Hardly anyone of the younger generation these days has even a set of bookshelf speakers, let alone some decent floor standing speakers.Tony Prior wrote:Those are indeed nice phones !

Although you can use older headphones, mixing with ear buds is another task to practice.
Had a VO session for a large brandy company the other day for ads to be placed on FB. Could've used a decent pair of earbuds to check the mix.
Some of these earbuds cost up the wazoo. I'm looking for something generic though that can do the job.
The MEE M6 Pro (look for the 2nd generation) is touted by some engineers to be a worthy consideration for not only stage but also studio mixing for reference. These are quite inexpensive compared to many of these types of buds with a flexible replacement system by the company. You can buy either left or right, parts instead of having to buy a whole new set.
One engineer review said getting the Comply Comfort Ts-200 ear tips makes this ear set work better. But the M6 comes with a selection of ear tips in the kit.
