ok, if you're really bored, maybe let me know what my first album sounds like on headphones.

I made it using Polk 70 speakers that have 4 drivers and a tweeter in each. Can hear even the most minute hiss when doing noise reduction. They're deep so have proper bass response. Here's what my setup looks like http://imgur.com/a/Rc7SW
Years ago I used to have headphones that cost a few hundred bucks. After a while they'd vibrate a bit on some odd bass frequencies. Then the leather started decomposing so chucked 'em out. It would get annoying wearing them for hours, feels like your ears need air. Not so sure if headphones can reproduce the bass frequencies that these type of deeper speakers do.
Sometimes I'll check music that other people made and woah, it's like they don't notice they might have too much bass. The other week heard this one guy's tune and certain bass notes were causing a bad frequency that was too loud. Bwwwooummmp only on this one bass note he'd play. You know how it is when they're jamming live, certain bass notes vibrate stuff in the room.
Checked my browser history and found it:

That "bwwoooummpp" overpowering bass note is at 0:10, again at 0:15 and then 0:20.
I open the file and check it in Izotope RX to view in spectrogram and that frequency was white, way too hot. Meanwhile other notes weren't that over-powering. So you'd have to individually tone each of these down.
If he's got "tinny" headphones, might not notice this is going on. With that track if I'd turn down my speakers real low, or just play from the little LED monitor speakers, that note wouldn't be as annoying.
Are you getting that overpowering "bwwwooommmpp" on those bass notes with your headphones?
You see pics of expensive recording studios and look at their speakers, it's often these little "bookshelf" type with 1 driver and a tweeter. When I first got tower speakers I was in the listening room where you can switch between all of them. Those bookshelf speakers don't have proper bass response. They sound gutless and tinny. You can test even the more expensive ones but if they're small like that, they can't output the bass properly.
Not so sure if headphones reproduce the lower frequencies properly. What if something had too much bass on big speakers but you don't notice it with headphones or bookshelf speakers?
