FWIW I use the AKGs and a pair of Senheissers.  I prefer the AKGs by 
far as they are flat.  If you are mixing and have to "turn down" the 
bass to get the right response from your headphones, then you'll get 
a great mix: for those headphones!  For mixing, flat response is what 
I look for.  Same with monitors.  

On the other hand, as long as you are used to the response of your 
monitors/headphones and have learned to make great mixes on them, 
then pretty much anything will work.  The issue is then fatigue, 
comfort, etc. so choose what you like best in that department.
