I'm pretty new to this recording and mixing thing, but one of the things that some of the hard core recording folks in the recording subforum at TDPRI.com have told me is that earphones tend to be terrible for mixing. Their reason for saying this is that earphones create a complete separation between left and right, whereas with speakers you hear some of what is coming out of the left speaker with the right ear, and vice versa.
Currently I only have earphones, but I can certainly see the logic behind the above argument to use monitors instead.
