You can do very good mixing and mastering on them! They have a very clear flat sound and help you achieve the audio quality you want! I recommend mixing at a very low volume for a while, then you won't want to go beyond 30 - 40% of their power for volume! They provide the clarity you need! I ordered 2 pairs and I think I'll order another one! They seem to be among the best!
The headphones are very good for mixing and mastering (more for mixing than mastering, but it depends on the genre of music and personal taste). You can distinguish each instrument. I did a listening session with some tracks (purchased from Beatport). I realized how poorly some are mixed and mastered. (And I'm talking about top 100 DJs because this genre of music interests me). But the good ones are truly top-notch. If you're looking for headphones for mixing and mastering, I recommend them, although they are a bit harsh in the high frequencies (but that's just because you can hear them). These headphones are not for casual listening. If you want a pair of headphones to walk down the street and listen to music, these are not for you. They need a bit of time to form a good sound, or maybe your ears need to get used to them. I bought them just for mixing and mastering. As for the soundcreation team, I am very disappointed. I paid with a card, requested a billing address and a different shipping address. After confirming the order, I noticed in the 3 emails that the shipping address was incorrect, I called the next morning (the package hadn't left them yet) to correct this. The store representative confirmed the correct shipping address. Then, that afternoon, I received an email saying the package was picked up by the courier and is set to be delivered... but the shipping address was a combination of the two addresses. Luckily, at least the city was correct, and the courier called me to pick up the package. So I recommend cash on delivery... maybe then they will be more careful.
