As someone who generally doesn't like to use headphones myself when recording vocals, I usually just bring along my own little set of very small speakers and just turn the volume down. I don't even need to do it in the control room, I just need to basically hear the music, even a bare bones version, at a just audible volume purely for time purposes. I can't do headphones because it just messes with the way I hear my voice in a room and makes me sing weird. I've done it before with okay results I just really prefer not to if I can get away with it. The tricks everyone has mentioned sound really good but has anyone tried just using unobtrusive speakers at a level that won't bother anybody on a mix? I've actually found that a little bit of that stuff sounds cool- but then again my music is a little out there ;-)
