Mixing With Different Headphones In Mind

[sdoggingsworth]

Before I release something, I tend to listen to it on a variety of different headphones, from my Sennheisers to my ear buds to make sure that it sounds decent no matter where you listen to it.

I tend to do all of my actual work with my best headphones on, which means a little bit of an increase in bass (not massive boost, but still bassy nevertheless).

Does this mean that to anypony listening with low-to-medium grade headphones, the bass is actually mixed too low? It always sounds like garbage to me when I try listening to it on my earbuds, but I can't tell if that's because I'm failing somewhere in the mixing process, or if I'm just plain spoiled, and iPod earbuds are rubbish no matter what.

Any advice?
