Just bought the Sony MDR 7506 for DJing and will definetely end up using them at least a little bit for production. Slightly harsher Highs than I'm used to, but it will be good combined with my Events which have sliightly less defined Highs.

My K240s could not handle being pushed too hard. I mean, it's MY FAULT I had my headphone bus up extremely loud when I blew out my left driver. But still... not super durable, so if you get a pair, baby them. I'm probably being redunt here, but whatever; better to cover all the bases.

Well they are monitoring headphones, not DJing headphones. You really shouldn't have them up too loud, ever...

You shouldn't use an amplified signal with the AKG k240S.
It was designed to be connected directly into a soundcard, without amplification.
They had a k240M version that had higher impedance, but they discontinued that.

Thanks for the new info, Sherlock.

But I should have specified. They were plugged in directly into my MOTU 2408 MkI. I was not DJ-ing with them (it would be pointless since they're open back headphones). However, I did have the volume up loud and then I inserted a new VSTi and it was up REALLY loud by default and then BAM. Sad times for my 240s.

My 750s are better anyway
