Mixing in headphones only is not ideal usually a necessity more than a choice. But like I said many times is it possible to mix on headphones? Of course! And today we have some tools that make the mixing on headphones experience a lot better. I never bought into any correction room simulation system but they got me to try one. It's called Realphones by dSONIQ and I gotta say it's pretty cool. It has a bunch of mixed check functions and it has all the features that you find in all the other room simulators/correction systems in one plugin.

Software for improving the sound of headphones is becoming more commonly used, but I've always been too stubborn to try it. I've already invested in studio monitors and acoustic treatment, why should I care about mixing on headphones when I don't need to? It's easy to dismiss the idea without trying it. On the other hand, I thought the same thing about subwoofers until I tried one, and I realized how wrong I was about not needing one.
