I do something absolutely crazy.
If I'm trying to get a mix put together on phones, I put a few different instances of ReaEQ on the master track, all with different EQ curves to emphasize different areas of the spectrum.
For example:
1: mid scoop at 1k, shelf boosts at 200 and 10k (Smiley face)
2: exact inversion of 1 (mid boost, shelf cuts)
3: 2 stacked hipasses at 200 (everything but low end)
4: 2 stacked lowpasses at 200 (just the low end).

When I start mixing, I'll leave them all bypassed. Then, every now and then, I'll pick a random one to enable for about 15 seconds. This helps ward off ear fatigue.

Also, mixing g on cans requires low volumes. It seems to me like phones have better transient response at low to medium levels.

I'll also have MAnalyzer and Schope in there, to give me some more perspective.
