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 fundamentally flawed?
