Its certainly possible to do good mixes in headphones - you just need to listen to lots of good commercial mixes in your headphones so that you build up an accurate picture of what a good mix sounds like. In fact, its easy to do rubbish mixes on great monitors if you have a bad sounding room.
The main thing i find about about headphones is that its easy to not mix in enough bottom end so you need to use your spectrum/level meters a lot against reference CD tracks and just make sure that your ears aren't playing tricks on you.
Back to your mix - i think you've done a good job. Drums, bass and guitars balance together in the backing track. You've also balanced the male and female vox together so that they sound very natural together.
The only thing i would say is that you could probably automate the vocals in the 2nd half of the song to keep them clear at all times as sometimes they fade in and out under the backing track
nice work
