I agree with getting quality headphones to supplement your monitors...I bought a set of Sennheiser HD 650's to go along with my HS8 monitors. The combination works well for me as I now have two very good options to check accuracy of my recordings. I also check my recordings by burning a cd and listening to the mix on my truck's cd player. I have a factory sound system that sounds pretty good, which gives me a good idea if a mix is acceptable or not. So having three reference points to check my mixes to see if they cut the mustard or not, works well for me. Problems will usually stand out in one of the three checks.
