you can learn all speakers, and i would definelty learn a good heaphone over any cheap monitors in untreated rooms.(a friend make better mix with a beyer than with his bm6a ,when you know your headphone and a/b your tracks on many speakers imo it s hard to beat) |

^agreed! good headphones which you know well and are used to are better than shit monitors in a bad room with no acoustic treatment 
i like my headphones and i write a lot of music with them. i still need to check the final mix (particularly kick/bass levels) on monitors, but i find as time goes by i spend less time with the speakers on and more time with the headphones. i have sennheiser HD-650s.

Never, never and never do any alteration to your projects when monitoring through any headphones. Headphones (even if it was made by aliens in Andromeda galaxy), will always fail to give you an accurate image of the sound, and also they tend to damage your aural senses with an accelerated rate.
Monitoring headphones are used only for live recordings, so that you don't end up re-recording the sound that comes out through monitors. With monitoring headphones on, studio is silent hence clean recording and no overlapping or overdub.
And lastly, monitoring headphones is not an important gadget in the studio, buy any open headphone, job will be done. Even closed ones would do the job. Headphones are really not that important. But, MONITORS ARE.
I repeat, good monitors are very, very important. |

Have you ever had any problems with your AKG's? I'm currently using the AKG K240 and its developed a slight rattle in the left phone when playing certain frequencies, I've not even had them for all that long. Dont know if I've just gotten unlucky or whether the build quality is a bit shabby. |

im on 70% monitors and 30% headphones. there are things which are done in headphones much easier, though i feel like making mixing on monitors.
