should i replayce my headphones after byin new monitors?

hey guys, would really appreciate some opinions on this one,just! after a lot of hassalhoff got some monitor speakers, i bought some yamaha h80ms and had to take them back, they just didnt sound good in my room for some reason, fine in the shop but not at home, i suppose i chose them more over others coz ive heard good things on here then anything, anyway i replaced them with some krk 8s, which sound fantastic btw, only now my headphones sound a bit crap in comparison which i have been for the last 2 years basing my mixing on! and i still need headphones for the majority of my first mixin kind of sesions style mixing cos my neighbours phone the police even if i have a barbacue, to the point i use beyer dynamic dt 770, any headphones that could put my speakers to shame they have to be fatigueless lol i dont mind spendening �� if there really worth it then beyers where a fine purchase 4 years ago, cheers for any help and info

AKG k240s
I can have them on for hours. They're comfortable and they sound very natural.

Alot of people complain about a heavy bass that over-shadows the rest of the sounds.

Yeah, the K701s would probably be better, although no headphone is gonna be perfect, heres a comparison.
