It's obviously a matter of taste. Personally, I'd favour filling the mid 
range a bit more to offset the aggressive harmonics over EQ in this case.

Yeah, headphones are good but never quite there... I have to say that I 
really grew fond of my new monitor controller, which makes it even 
faster to switch between headphones and the monitors at various levels. 
Best way to work around the various psycho-acoustic tricks that ears 
tend to play on us...
