Nice work! There's definitely an energy to it, and the arrangement is great. The strings sit in there nicely, filling things out without being overly audible themselves. I love the delay on the vocals, too :) The only feedback I have is that it sounds a bit mid-heavy to me -- I think I'd like to hear a bit more of a bass thump from the bass guitar, and more high-end as well, possibly from the drums and vocals (and a little on the guitar perhaps as well, or a little on all three!). As you mention, this might be because you're mixing on headphones. I do the same, just because I don't have monitors, and I've found it hard to judge those things. The only advice I can give is to compare your mixes to commercial tracks that have a similar sound, and listening to your mixes on any other systems you have at hand to see how they sound there.
