I've been seriously mixing with AKG K240s for the past 10 months or so, without any sort of studio monitors in my set up (I've always planned on getting them to wrap up some mixes after everything has been recorded, but, I haven't bought any yet). I recently discovered that apparently K240s aren't the most honest mixing headphones to mix with, which made me a bit anxious about them and eager to purchase studio monitors. Now, my budget for gear is pretty low, so I was wondering if I could just get some nice replacement headphones to mix with, but knowing that mixing with headphones is a bit controversial, I wanted to know if it would be worth buying them, or would it be worth it just to get some good monitors? (my budget is around $500-600 for a pair, preferably ~$350, would definitely buy used if trustworthy) or am I just being misguided by possible snobs on the internet into thinking the K240s would be improper to mix with? If I were to buy studio monitors, what would you recommend for mixing? same with (if) headphones?
Sorry that was a lot of questions, but help would be really appreciated.
Thanks
