I have the AKG-K240 Studio - their most compelling feature is their amazing comfort - I can wear them for hours.
I cant for the life of me mix with the damn things though - something about the base frequency responsose curve just seems unnatural so I find it really hard to relate to the real world. They are fine for making details decesion etc - for broad EQ, mastering etc, EQ trimming tracks so they fit together - forget it - if Im using them I have to rely upon a real time analyser display as well - even then as soon as I switch to main monitors you can tell what a complete disaster the low EQ is - Grrrr!
Great late night cans for monitoring etc just because of thier light weight and comfort.
I too also need to find something that is equally comfortable but also with a natural bass sounds that I can actually usefully mix with. Am on the lot out for a pair of grot boxes as well...
