Headphones: AKG K240s vs. K240DF vs. Beyer DT990pro
is there a difference in the sound of the k240df and k240s?
I want to buy mixing headphones, somebody i know who run a good studio for years suggested me beyer dt990pro, but they are a bit over my budget, how do they sound different than the k240 ? do they really worth saving up?
thanks!

I really like them both and have become so used to them that I can even mix with them with very good results.

The K240s work well for me as honest cans for monitoring.
