I love my KRK KNS-8400s

Exactly my thoughts.

OK. You talked me into it. Ordered for $119 :-)
 
Thank you for all the help!!!

Like any pair of new headphones, give them some time to "loosen up", for want of a better term. You could even run a playlist through them overnight if you wanted to speed up the process, I guess.

Yup. I've had my K-240's for about 17 years now. Very open and natural sounding, and no hyped low end. And they're so comfortable, I sometimes forget I have them on. They've been yanked off my head on many occasions.

THIS IS ALSO KINDA COOL:

I used a set of K240s until they rotted off my ears. Now using Q701s because of a great deal but would recommend K240s in a heartbeat.

I was interested in this discussion because I have the Sennheiser HD 280 Pro's and have also found them to be bass-heavy when mixing. But after looking at the recommended KRK's above, seems like they would be even heavier on the low end.

That's interesting. I have two of the three types in the graph.

My real world experience is that the Sony MDRs are bass heavy and the KRKs are balanced just right. If info is in a graph one would think it's scientifically accurate. But I don't think that graph corresponds to what I hear.

If you're going to mix with headphones look into this...

Me too!!!
Leadfoot, I used those AKG's for decades till I happened on the KRK's... 

I'll have to check em out if my AKG's ever crap out on me.

I use AKG 240's to track and my ATH M-50's for reference while mixing. The M-50's have a lot more bottom than the 240's which helps me work with those low frequencies when needed.
