Yes you can tell some of the bbc pop stuff sounds like it was mixed on
headphones as its very narrow and boring unless listened to on headphones.
There have over the years been lots of attempts to design headphones that
sound like speakers, and I never liked any of them. I guess though that he
probably still has an enviroment somewhere with traditional monitors in it
for that purpose. A lot of people use software mixers and effects these
days.

To solve the question of monitoring while recording, he
decided to use cordless headphones. Together we tried
Bluetooth which proved to be acceptable in the close
vicinity of the source, as in the control area, but not
practical for foldback in the recording area.
So he bought 24 pairs of Sennhesier RS 140
wireless headphones.

Hmm. Pretty well known that things recorded on headphones will only sound
their best when listened to on headphones.

And if he his looking for pop work, can't think of any client who would be
happy with only this.

The idea of having the control area on some form of movable pod is novel,
but The problems involved in doing so make me ponder. ;-)
