I guess it depends on the mixer you're using. If it has cue/program levels rotary so you can choose exactly home much cue and how much output you need to hear.

i use 2 ears on the headphones at home, its easier cos i dont have good monitoring speakers to hear it properly so i use the headphones which works best.

but club 1 ear
that is because i find it easier to mix with one ear (as said above) you have monitors speakers pumping on one ear and one on the headphones then you beatmatch in your head like always.

you dont need two on it both ears.
but sometimes i put it on to check if everything AOK!

cheers

wen mixing now i always use one cup, wen i first started mixing i would use 2 cups with a split cue, and found it difficult to mix with one cup. now its the opposite, i never use the splkit cue at all and find it harder to concentrate wen its on.

this bloke told me before never to put both cups on if ur in a club because your incharge of the sound, and should anything go wrong with the live sound in the room n ur boping away with 2 cups firmly on not having a clue about it ull luk kinda daft, cos your responsible for the live sound in the room/club, and if anything should go wrong its your job to put it right.

it all depends on what im spinning like...if im spinning Trance then i will leave both fones on my ears and have a slpit cue but if im spinning Breakz then i will only leave one cup on and have both tunes in one cup its just easyer that way for me... i do this at both partys and at home
