Absolute best headphones for mixing

Maybe my studio monitors have been spoiling me, but I can’t mix on headphones. I have some drop 6XX (same as senheiser HD 650) and the sony mdr 7506, and I reference with them, but I can’t trust them for mixing.

Headphones for mixing that can take a beating as well

On an empirical level, it seems rather puzzling how you could ever meaningfully assess whether or not the mixing headphones mentioned in this thread could in fact take a beating. How would anyone know for a fact unless they slammed theirs’ several times against the wall, squeezed them into the depths of their backpacks and reported afterwards whether the frequency response remained unscathed? How about a hard case for your to be repaired AKG pair? Or would you describe their design as fun…

I don’t really have a Place, where I could to that final mixing (maybe my bedroom might work). At the end, I do that as a hobby, and when it doesn’t break the car audio and is enjoyable on my iPad as well, I am quite happy Great to hear that you might inspire your son to be creative in that way too!
