TBH, I am mixing an album this weekend in a pair of HD280s, but a) I have been using this pair of headphones (well, everything but the drivers have been replaced at least once) for almost 15 years and b) I have mixed quite a few albums.

And I wouldn't choose to do that if I weren't stuck in an apartment or had the budget to rent a studio for a couple of days.

Echo and stereo bleed create frequency, amplitude, and phase cues that are important to listening, and while the room reflections or speaker deficiencies can cause a whole lot of problems, most folks are probably better off mixing on a home stereo if they had the choice.
