Why are we still using the old 'don't mix on headphones' adage, when 87% of listeners use headphones?
Post Body

My understanding, being an old fella, was you didn't mix/master on headphones because the sound is so different on external speakers, which is where most people will hear your music.

BUT, that's no longer true. According to some stats I found, up to 90% of people consume their music on headsets. And earbuds takes the lions share of that.

So in fact not only is the old adage no longer true, but the reverse is. You SHOULD mix on headphones.

Am I missing something?
