I use headphones when adjusting all aspects of my cart. VTA, VTF, Anti-skate, etc.. It makes it very easy to hear the differences and you don't have to go back to your listening position to hear what's going on. It is also much easier to hear it when your cart is not adjusted properly because of the detailed view headphones allow.
One of the keys, however, is getting to know what your headphones sound like first. I don't think you could just throw on some phones and make some adjustments and then go back to speakers. You really need to get accustomed to the sound of the phones and the sound of your vinyl through phones so you know what you are hearing.
