I can do it on my Sennheiser HD600's. You need to know the cans really well and you have to understand how cans misrepresent what you hear.
Headphones make the stereo image seem wider than it is. Effects like reverb and delay are more noticeable and therefore you mix in too little. Low end frequencies/balance are harder to get exactly right so you have to get used to being conservative with the kick/bass level. With cans, vocals and other stuff never sounds exactly in the center (too me) even though they are. Vocal automation is very hard to get right, because you can hear the vocal clearly at almost any level so judging loudness is difficult. Stuff usually sounds more present and clear with headphones so you can often get fooled into thinking something is fine when it actually lacks definition/clarity. Once I got used to my cans it all became second nature and now I use my headphones for reference with confidence.
