Earlier yep recommended not mixing with headphones.

I was skeptical, but after tonight I realized why.

I put together a mix that sounded great on my cans. Played them back through my regular computer speakers and the bass sounded like crap. Super muddy.

So I did a little bit of remixing with my speakers, even though they aren't monitors and it's also been recommended not to mix on those...

But after I finished I came up with a mix that sounded great on both speakers and headphones.

Guess there's just something about letting the sound get out in the open air.

Thanks so much again for this thread, yep.
