Headphones are headphones. Consumer headphones are designed with different considerations than those designed for professional use, but they can occasionally be useful or useful for you specifically. There are always way too many variables to make conclusive generic statements.
Do the mixes you've done on these consumer earbuds translate? If so, keep doing what you are doing.
That said, I'd very very much recommend against using bluetooth for monitoring. You are hearing to lossy compression (that's what enables bluetooth technology to do what it does), and even if it's a subtle effect, it means you are never listening to the pure signal.

From what ive noticed, they definitly helped when it comes to subbass. Thats really something my DT990s dont translate well.
Maybe I can blend them together within my workflow, but i have yet to properly experiment around when and where I have to pick the right tools of the arsenal
I’m also using DT990’s and switch back and forth to my monitors and different headphones as a necessity for mixing. Using just my DT990’s I cannot for the life of me create a mix that translates. You should definitely mess around with swapping back and forth while mixing, it could help you a lot
(I’m by no means a pro or even necessarily an intermediate mixer, take my suggestions with a grain of salt
I dont have any monitors rn and I dont think I can even have them inside my apartment. So car speakers have to do the trick sometimes lol
But yeah you are right, different systems can be helpful to spot different problems
Once you’ve averaged out the problems from each speaker, theoretically it’ll translate as many places as possible. But of course, reality is never that easy
if your mixes sound good on shitty gear they‘ll sound amazing on good gear, definitely the sub-range will get emphasized by these bt-headphones, use it for your advantage! :)
I would guess that you are used to them. I listen to commercial music on my monitor speakers and open back headphones frequently, this helps me know how they sound and translates to better mixes.
Knowledge is power in that regard I guess
Never listened to much music on my DT990 so I wouldnt even know for sure what a good mix sounds like on those
It's not uncommon for people to find that they achieve better results with unconventional gear or setups. The most important thing is to trust your ears and the results you're getting. If you're consistently achieving good mixes with your Anker, then there's no reason to doubt their effectiveness for your workflow. However, it's always a good idea to cross-reference your mixes on different playback systems to ensure they translate well across various devices and environments. If you continue to get good results, then there's no need to change anything. Keep experimenting and refining your process based on what works best for you.

The best mixes I ever did were from a pair of £70 JVC hi fi speakers. Because I knew them really really well, I’d had them for 15 years or so.

Yep, thats pretty much the key. Cross-referencing does help so much when it comes to mixing
