My experience is kind of different. I use the ath-m50x and I can get my mixes how I want them. I have two pair of monitors krk rp8’s and krk vtx6’s. The vtx are the better monitors by a long shot.
Even still when using my atx-m50 headphones for mixing then taking them off and turning up the rokits I'm not having a night and day mixing experience. The headphone mixes and rokits sound like they both have the same mother lol. The rokits sound like what I was mixing in the headphones the imaging, balance, eq, panning etc. Only thing I would need to do is cut the bass slightly due to the rokit 8’s having the large cabinets and being bassy and also its not the easiest thing to get really deep lows with headphones when it comes to hearing vs feeling.
Most ppl will give the rokits shit because they aren't as accurate as others, but I say really learn what you have and learn its strengths and weaknesses. I been using the ath-m50x for a few months and I could pull it off. What I had difficulty doing was using the Presonus HD7 headphones that come bundled with their interfaces. They sounded good as far as imaging and mid and high, I couldn't get the bass frequencies right though. That's only using the headphones. When I pull them off and turn up the monitor gain on my interface... Its depression lol. Nothing was how I laid it out...panning was way off, lacked bass, imaging was too far back, sloppiness. I've tried several times. I'm only saying this because people have one messed up experience and make it their rule overall to say you shouldn't, it won't sound this way, etc based off their bad experience and you do need to try before taking someone's opinion and making it your own.
