Headphone listening eliminates 2 things that are always present with speakers:
1) the effects of the listening space (reflections, resonances, etc.) and
2) the effect of the sounds from different channels mixing in air. This can be both good and bad. In general, though, you can usually hear details with decent headphones that may be obscured when listening with speakers. Usually, if you can hear everything in a mix when listening with speakers, you will also hear it in headphones. Mixing with headphones, however, you can risk being so "subtle" in level on a part that it disappears when heard over speakers.
In general, if you want to really pick at details, things like background noises, subtle details of an edit, etc, this can often be easier with headphones. For setting part balances, though, at some point you really want to check it with speakers to make sure everything is "still there".
This is not to say that great mixes cannot be done with headphones, as we have heard some fine mixes that were done that way. In fact, after the comments on this forum, I'm tempted to pick up a set of MDR-V6's myself (my current main pair of headphones is the Sony MDR-V600). Still, I would not be willing to abandon speakers entirely. I have, after all, been really pleased with how much detail is revealed by my Mackie HR824s.
Just for fun, I decided to take a few minutes comparing between my headphones and speakers with a few different recordings. As clear as the Mackie speakers are, there were some details that I could pick out better with the headphones. In one case there were some lyrics that I could only decipher with the headphones. There was also a certain amount of noise and grit in recordings that was more obvious with headphones. So far this bears out my conclusions: it is easier to judge balance with speakers, and to sift picky details with headphones.
