Yes to assess the final mix but not to produce the track. Maybe this was what he was going to do, his post was a little ambiguous as to the how he wanted to use headphones. My 2p's worth based on my own pain

guys, are there different types of AKG 240S? like semi open and circumaural stereo? are they the same thing?

if they're different, which one is better for mixing?

I got AKG K271 Studio and they are aful to use in comparison to whats going on when you listen to my Yamaha HS50M monitors.

Two totally different sounds

I have AKG K240M's. Don't really need them for anything nowadays. I used to use them when I was living with my parents. Nowadays everything I here - any time of the day - comes from Yamaha HS80M's. (highly recommended btw)

The point isn't to "get out of your body", it's to bring awareness to your consciousness while you're experiencing another reality.

my 240s' came in today and i've played around in a daw for the past hour or so and i've yet to get use to the sound of the akg 240s'...pretty different considering i've been using crappy 40$ logitech headphones for the past year and a half or so

don't forget headphones take a little while to break in as well

so you got the studio ones, or the MK IIs?

The 240s don't need to be broken in much. A few hours at moderate volume should loosen them up enough.
