Getting by really great here with a set of DT990s but would never trust them for mastering or eqing just like any set of cans, if anything they are good for playing sounds and working on arrangements without annoying everyone, if you do get dt990s be warned after a while you forget you have them on and get up to do something and yank your head or the cable off

Would these be good for DJing as well? Or do you want to look for something different when it comes to that?

Prolly not. the 240 series is semi-opened...so you'll notice problems when trying to mix (you'll hear the outside noise).
It's better not to combain studio and dj hp's...I don't believe there is a pair of good studio headphones which are closed (and don't say HD-25 cause they suck for mixing, only an idiot will say "they got Studio written on the box so they are for studio" and I heard that before). will give you a headache after like 30 min's and prolly won't show the bass right.
That's my opinion.

As a rule, headphones which are good for DJing are not good for production, and vice versa. Good DJ headphones aim to minimize unpleasant sounds so you don't go deaf or get a splitting headache after an hour; good production headphones aim for an accurate reproduction of the sound so you can hear every unpleasant detail and fix it.

By "unpleasant" I'm generally talking about screeching highs, overcompressed bass, that sort of thing. DJ headphones are supposed to make any track sound as good as possible, no matter how crappy it really is, which is exactly what you don't want for production.
