Answer
Probably not best to mix with headphones. Headphones are great for hearing things in music that u wouldnt hear otherwise, but in terms of organising the different tracks then there is no substitute for monitors. They provide 100x more spatial information than headphones. Not to mention, headphones for <$100 probably wont give a good true sound. I would recommend investing in some monitors.

Alesis Monitor Ones Mk2 are good entry-level monitors. Monitors dont mess with the sound at all, so they give a true sound. Whereas speakers often have their own setting which affects the music (some are bass-heavy, some are treble-heavy etc). This means if u mix with speakers, then suppose u are mixing on bass-heavy speakers, then you will increase the treble so it sounds balanced. However when someone plays it on treble-heavy speakers, the treble will be very overpowering.

Looking for headphones made good for mastering and mixing music?

I am looking for headphones that are made for mastering and mixing music. Headphone like beats have too much bass and they are not good for mastering. Any recommendations from people that really know about this stuff?

-Cheers!
