Before I acquired my Mackie nearfield monitors, I used AKG K240DF  
headphones for critical mixing and I found that the mixes done on them  
translated well to other systems.  They do require a relatively strong  
amp to drive them... the headphone outputs on mixers, such as the  
Mackie mixers, have plenty of power for them.

A good pair of headphones comes in handy anyway, and I wouldn't part  
with them.  The K240DFs are a little pricey, to be sure, however not  
nearly as expensive as near field monitors.

While you are saving up money and searching for a nice pair of near  
field monitors, the K240DF provides a means to make accurate mixes in  
the meantime.
