Default Can you get monitor headphones?

and have it sound right on speakers.

That really is not difficult. Working as a 2E (assistant engineer) you are required to mix maybe two or three stereo foldback mixes simultaneously on session. For a monitor mix on headphones you can always switch back to main monitors to check your centre signal. When recording classical music with Decca tree, there might be a tendency to place the centre mic a little too forward but it is lonely a couple of dB and an experienced engineer soon learns just how much to compensate on the headphone mix.
