To be honest my bass comment is more of a personal taste thing than an earbud thing. I mean, it can't hurt to check your mixes on different setups and especially earbuds because they're so ubiquitous. But they don't really have anything special going on for them.
The bass on this one is a little tricky because it's a programmed bass part so it has a weird, or at least different upper mid sound than most bass guitars. On re-listen I think part of it is that the upper part of the bass is in the same area as the piano. Again it's not really bad at all. As someone who's mixed this on I know what's there so I suppose I'm looking for it. A causal listen wouldn't think about it. I suppose that's part of the trap with analyzing mixes here is that we know every track and it's hard to take a step back and listen to the whole finished product. Instead of just eating the stew we pick at the potatoes.
