I don't think I'm going out on a limb here when I say that studio monitors are only as good as the listening environment they're used in.
I've used high quality flat frequency response headphones to mix music and the problem I've had with that is when the music is played over normal speakers or headphones it becomes obvious that I've boosted the highs too much and/or cut the lows too much. The music sounds great through the flat headphones but no one listens to music through a sound source that is flat (which is why most studios have several referrence monitors just for that reason). I would use a combination of sound sources to mix. Start with the flat headphones then reference the mix on a decent stereo system to compare. Go back and forth to tweak and just repeat the process until you find a happy medium.
Good luck!

At home I use headphones a lot. A while back I got some really good headphones from a company called "Ultrasone" They are pretty great. You'll still want to check your stuff on speakers. Do the best you can setting them up in your dorm room (symmetry counts for a ton!)

I don't know anything about PR12's but my guess is you'd be better off using 'home' stereo speakers.

Bought these... www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-audio/akg-k271-mkii-headphones around the holidays last year and they work out nicely. I use a small mixer for amping the signal a bit. They were only 149 then a bit high now.
