Nahh...if you're serious about mixing you need a few others just to
ensure your mixes work in different environments. It's good to have
some open-air cans, some isolated ones like the 7605's, even from a
few different manufacturers. Just like listening on your studio
monitors is different than the car. Still, the mix has to work in
both.
That said the 7605's have been the ones that I've listened to at least
90% of the time over nearly the last decade but when I mix with them I
find people complain my mix doesn't have enough bottom end.

Back on Wednesday 16 July 2008, schoappied was
like:
The MDR-7506 should be just fine for that. They are pretty standard. People
agreed. bought a pair in 1997. the last pair of headphones i'll ever buy? u'll
have to verify the 50 euros part but assuming 2:1 then the
typical first answer for pop/rock type recording/listening is often
the Sony MDR-7506. A bit bassy. (Understatement) A very good choice. I
If you're more of a jazz/classical listener then I much prefer my AKG
K240's but they're typically a bit more expensive.
Thanks. And if I say that I want to use it for practising bassguitar
(and maybe guitar and keys), does that have influence on your advice?
