I was reading about these things recently and how they sound TERRIBLE. It's extremely revealing and gives you a feel for "real world" scenarios of iPod headphones, car radios, etc. It's essentially a secondary monitoring system to check your mixes from your A monitors which have the potential to hide some problems.
These things apparently won't let you hide behind nice speakers.
Have any of you tried them/heard of them before? Are they all their hyped up to be in terms of revealing problem areas? They seem fairly cheap so it may not be a bad thing to give them a shot ($240 passive, $460 active).
