I dont have the $$$ for good monitors yet, so I'm working with a pair of headphones for the time being. Anyone have any tips on how to make up for some of what is lost working without them?

Thanx,
The J.

I have some headphones and I work construction, & both of these things are trashing my hearing... I just broke down & bought a set of M-audio Studiophile 3 monitors that are specifically made for computers & they sound good enough & are quiet enough to use in my house with the wife & kids sleeping in the night - basically they are a step up from computer speakers & they only cost around 100 bucks (the price of a decent pair of headphones). I wear earplugs at work. Here's to not going deaf. I used to LIVE with walkman headphones on & boy, am I paying for it now.
