The AKG240 (I have a newer China made S version) are really a great headphone, particularly when amped. They love power. Since swapping pads has such an effect on these I swapped with my spare pair of SRH840 pads, cut out the cloth out of those, used the 240 foam, and viola, what a great sounding headphone. The SRH840 cloth allows a bit much treble through, hence using the 240 foam, but with the great fit and seal of the 840 pads, and the fact they fit better around the ear, it was a no brainer. Everything sounds clear and great out of these things without giving up neutrality. Not to mention the fact there is no discomfort to be had whatsoever after many hours.
