Maybe some clarification needed, I can read this question two ways:

1. "I mixed my recordings with these nice headphones, but through speakers they sound thin"
2. "A track I mixed through speakers sound weak through the headphones"

I can say in advance that, especially as a noob, it's good to reference your recordings on several systems and try to get a mix that 'translates' reasonably well to all of them. A professional mastering job (which can be done affordably, and also a good learning experience) can help further narrow that gap.

Can you listen to reference material of a somewhat similar sound and style against these tracks and compare?

Mix worthy headphones tend to be very pricey. But I guess preferences vary. I can only mix on speakers.
If you are mixing in a DAW I suggest making an EQ curve you can load on the LR bus to treat your cans. I just try to get as close a response to my monitors I can with EQ, works in cans cause you aren't fighting room modes and other horseshit. Not perfect, but can help. I also generally narrow my Pan width to like 70-80% when mixing in headphones.

Is there anything like that you'd recommend?
Depends how much delay you want, as it's closer to spring-style reverb that can get "out there"/almost delay-ish, but the Mantic Proverb V2 is worth looking into:

It's a fine pedal either way.
