There's also a problem with mixing on headphones due to the isolation of each ear which results in sounds that are hard panned only being heard in one ear as opposed to the natural spill to the opposite ear that is experienced when hearing a sound with 'naked' ears. I think there are plugins that are supposed to avoid this by introducing slight 'crossfeed' to the signal of each channel and some headphone amps also do this. Might be worth checking out...
