Mixing/Mastering / Re: Getting a mix sounding good in earbuds?

Thanks for the replies, i actually tweaked the mix a little (and the mastering) and got it sounding good on the buds as well. I think i was hitting the limiter a bit hard on my drum bus and it was only noticeable through the earbuds. I calmed it down a bit and got a very similar listening experience to my other systems.  ;)

Mixing/Mastering / Getting a mix sounding good in earbuds?
« on: January 15, 2016, 10:34:52 am »
Hi all,

so I've been writing dance music on and off for about 15 years (as a hobby). I've finally been doing some mixdowns that i'm really happy with. As a general rule I listen to my mixes on as many different systems as possible and tweak the mix to get it sounding good on all of them.

The problem I have is I can get my mixes sounding good on all formats (studio monitors, studio headphones, dj headphones, my mates stereo etc etc) except earbuds. Whenever I put my track on my iPhone and listen to my track it sounds nothing like the other mediums. Often it's too bassy, or certain bits of the mix really jump out more then they do when listening to other setups.

I'm really reluctant to tweak the mix too much as it sounds good everywhere else, but nowadays most people will listen to music either through their laptop or earbuds so it's pretty important to get it sounding good in that medium.

Anyone got any advice on getting a good earbud mix, while still retaining a good mix on other sound systems?
