Right now I did some research, since I bought my AKG K 240 DF around 30 years ago. It's discontinued. http://www.akg.com/site/products/powerslave,id,253,pid,253,nodeid,2,_language,EN,country,ENUS,view,prop.html I know that studios today have better headphones, but they are very expensive and all I ever used in studios only one time need to clunk on the floor and they are borked. The AKG has a (relatively ;) less good sound quality, but anyway it's very good as a reference and the one I own survived, other headphones I owned or used in studios get broken. Are there still some durable headphones for studio usage? AFAIK for the German Rundfunk they switched a long time ago from the AKG I own, to those better once, that will not last very long.
I got myself a pair of DT 990 Pro by Beyerdynamics. They are really sturdily built. But then again, they are an open design and that might not be suited for your usecase..
I really like them though. And by that I mean in the same sense as I like my Yamaha HS80M monitors. They are pretty neutral. I guess you can throw hundreds or thousands more at listening devices, but personally I think I have hit exactly the sweet spot with these purchases between quality and expenses..
