Bought zx100 a yesterday and want to know if it is good.
 
good for listening to music, not good for audio production of any sort at all
 
In my personal experience, Hardware Equalizers are incredibly limited compared to some of the most basic Software equalizers. If you want to mix and master for production, Get a DAW like Cubase, Reason, Logic, Ableton, FL, etc. and get a somewhat decent set of VST's like equalizers, compressors, reverb, and other mastering type software's to mix and master ish. In general, most DAW's have at least a 16 slot mixer, that alone can cost thousands of dollars in hardware.

When I want to hear something through a pair of cheap sounding earphones I use those. Aside from that I wouldn't use them for much of anything else.

This has nothing to do with the topic.

LOL my bad..
Most pro studios have studio monitors which pick up lower than 10 hz which most head phones just cannot do. But not everyone is going to be listening with studio monitors so it is important to listen to your track through as many devices as you can. I just bought the Sony MDRXD100 on ebay, it goes as low as 12 hz and its only 20 dollars. Although I haven't used them yet I was referred to them by someone on this board.
