My favourite was listening through my reasonably high end studio monitors, but they've been broken recently so it's been down to my headphones. After six months of near continuous headphone use for both composing and listening, they just don't quite cut it. Even though they're a £150 pair of great headphone that I love. You lose the stereo field. The music feels to much like it's being injected into your head. You don't get as solid a low end presence (my monitors had 8 inch woofers in). I can't get up and listen as easily.

My monitors just sounded too good for any somewhat affordable headphones to truly compare. The ideal scenario is having both.
