Used the AKG K240's for 3 years now. Like them a lot, find them quite
accurate, perhaps a tiny bit thinner on the low end than the Sony's but as 
a
bassest, I am still quite happy. Good sealing of of sound. Only downside is
they can get quite hot in the summer and I can't wear them for more than an
hour without taking them off to release a little steam!

I'd replace them if I lost them if that counts for anything, but I'd
probably check some higher-end Senn's first.

What about some headphones that are comfortable and accurate
but are of the closed design such that the audio won't leak into
sensitive mics even if the phones are cranked to a decent level ?
I particularly find the phones with the double headbands the most
comfortable....ei, there is a softer, unwired band that contacts your
head below the actual stiffer structure that connects the ear pieces.
Anybody got the AKG K240 studio phones ?
