For the last two years I've been using both the Event ALP 5's and a pair of Grado prestige series SR 125 open air headphones. The combined price is about $550. At this point, my mixes seem to pretty much translate exactly on anything. I actually had a $200 an hour mastering engineer tell me that there was no need for me to use his services on one project, 'cause it was already pretty much right.

What I've kind of started doing is always eq'ing at high volume, always balancing levels at low volume, always checking the mix outside the door, and always flipping back and forth between the two systems every time I make a decision.

That's about all I can say about that.
