Return or Not return the akg k240s(made in china one)

[jdaclutch]

Long story short, I bought the akg k240s back in November, the headphones are pretty decent. But last week, I got a used sennheiser hd555 for dirt cheap. After doing the foam+sound stage mod, I really liking the sennheiser. There is no reason to keep both pairs of same grade headphones right? Should I return them, and save the money for the next level upgrade later? or keep them? Since I can't use the 555/k240 on2go due to sound leakage. I'm also looking for a comfortable closed headphones under $150/$100 so that I can use on campus. Any thoughts or suggestions?
 
Thanks in advance.

I say return the K240 and get something like the Audio Technica ATH-M50 for your closed headphones.

Heya,
 
If you're not going to listen to it, and you're not collecting, then sell it or return it.
 
For a comfortable closed headphone for use on campus, look into:
 
Ultrasone HFI 780
AKG K167
Vmoda M80
Beyer Custom One Pro
 
Very best,

I have a pair of k518le, they are "fun" but not comfortable. i was also looking at the k167, how comfy are those, and do they worth the upgrade from the k518?
 
And am considering the CAL! as well.

I'm not sure if I like the M50s, from all the reviews and comments around the net, they are a bit too bassy for me.

when i was at the store, the CAL! didnt isolate well, i  could hear the noise around me.
not sure if it leaks sound out...
