Mixing with Headphones isn’t bad, it depends on the headphones themselves, they should be ‘Open’ and not ‘Closed’, but as a rule all mixes have to be A/B on different setups, whether that is through a DVD player on a TV set, an old (preferably rough sounding) ghetto blaster, or in the Car.

You should first of all Mix in mono for the frequencies, then mix in stereo for the placement. The Headphone route is excellent for the placement of sounds but must be checked against monitors always.

As Juggernaut said… the manufacturers want their product to sound best in some way, and unless you pay in the region of £200+ for a pair of Studio capable (not Vocal means as in Beyer DT’s) headphones then it will always be hard. Try Sennheiser’s Open Backed sets.
