At the home studio I use both, but usually headphones .. with the headphones I can better hear any little clicks from edits, etc., so I do the bulk of the recording, editing and basic mixes with those. The headphones I use are pretty 'true' (for me anyway). YMMV
Plus the wife and kid appreciate it. <grin>

At the bigger studio location, we always use monitors unless recording live mic(s).
But again, even there I'll use headphones to check edits, etc.




I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
