Eli5: How are audio mixes of albums so versatile in their soundscapes? How do they sound different on earbuds, closed back, open back, and studio grade headphones?

Question

I’ve always wondered how one final audio mix of a music album sounds so different on unique equipment.

Answer 1

Because IEMs, open-back, and closed-back headphones all sound very different, not the mix itself.
