Mix at Mic: Headphones and the Engineers Who Use Them

Proper monitoring is a big issue in recording, whether it be checking for phase or listening for sibilance, monitoring is very important in any studio.

I find having a pair of headphones you know and trust to be a great cheat in a home studio environment or when working working at a foreign studio. The headphones can be your main reference if you get a good pair and learn to listen on them properly.

I personally use the AKG K240's and have for years, but here are a few engineers you may know and the headphones they prefer.
