So, the headphone tests aren't a complete waste of time. I actually really appreciate it, because while our own headphones/speakers/earbuds/whatever do colour the audio that you record, we still get to hear a difference in sound quality with the same colouring. It's not perfect, but it still gets the general idea across. I'm loving the videos, thank you for all the hard work ^-^ Edit: I'm a beginning music producer and I was wondering if you could do a headphone review with music production in mind?
