I practice every day straight acoustic.
But I also have my gigging setup in my home office/studio and when I have a job coming up I practice everything as if on stage, singing though a microphone, miking the guitar or using my OMC-Aura, no stopping through an entire set....and I record it.
Listening back is proabably more useful than anything.
I agree though, a lot of headphone time is not only ear fatiqueing, it's damaging at lower volumes than you think. Use care...
