This is something I would welcome in an actual mix / work environment as I have a VERY strong feeling that they would push me to do better work.

On the other hand, I have had the K&H 0300's in my work environment. They were very good at patting me on the back and telling me I was a genius... only problem was that "my genius" was not supported in any manner, shape or form when the product was removed from the room.

FWIW I found that the 0200's were a much better tool for the way I work than the 0300's any day of the week. I would have the 0300's in my home because they are so flattering sounding, but NEVER AGAIN in my work environment.

As always... YMMV.

Peace.
O300's Tell me plenty, especially in the low mid area where mud lurks. They show me exacly where. I hear depth and compression clearly and that makes it much easier to work. Rarely, I turn to my NS10's to check up on hi-mids, where O300 might be a tiny bit forgiving. And my mixes translate better than ever. They are fine monitors. Actually they are the most revealing monitors I have heard, and I heard plenty.
