Mixing on headphones alone is not ideal.
If you really want some open backs I like Beyerdynamics, 880s would probably be an ok choice for mixing (still not as good as monitors) but they'll sound quite thin if you're used to commercial headphones or speakers.
Whatever you mix on, make sure to check the results on a few different speaker systems.

I bought sennheiser open back to start with but the lack of bass was a problem. I now still mix with headphones but not as much as I did. I now use Bayern Dynamic DT150 (£112ish) I have found these to be very true when mixing. You just have to watch you dont go heavy on the bass and the vocals will sound the right level in your headphones butalways a little loud on speakers so keep that in mind.
most of the mixes on my website www.mobacousticrecordings.com were 80% mixed on those headphones
On the subjet of headphones I got the VRM Box which is supposed to emulate different monitor setups. Its bollocks
I don't think its very good tbh. It just seems to make things sound less boxy or more boxy really. I find a good analyser plug in, an eq and a multiband on the mastering strip a lot more useful tbh. I think the VRM Box is gimmicky. The only thing I ever used it for was to see if mixes would clip - but getting to grips with mastering IMO is a better way of doing that.
I'm not convinced its a useful addition to a good pair of headphones if you are in a situation where you need to mix without monitors.
