Matt, I removed one cup and covered that stump with a thick (clean) sock. MAN is it comfortable. And MAN it works fantastically for me.
I've learned a lot about recording over the past couple of weeks; I have a deadline for CD songs submittal tonight. I uploaded all the songs Friday, and artwork, then the pressure was off, AND it gave me the whole weekend to listen to them, tweak, upload again, frankly as many times as I want as long as what is there Monday morning for mastering is the final files.

The good news is Audio Technica told me on Saturday they ARE working on releasing the ATH M40s again due to popular demand and seeing how much users liked them. The rep said he hears this request at almost every audio show he attends.
He said they are about a year and half behind the date they had hoped to release them because they want to 'get it right' and not just use the name to sell headsets, which was encouraging.

You would not use open headphones as you record vocals; the sound would bleed into the mic. You can, actually, but if you do, you will find Izotope's RX 6 to be a very useful tool. https://www.izotope.com/en/products/repair-and-edit/rx/rx-standard.htmlOne of the new tools is D-bleed and that's what it is designed to tame. RX 6 was just released a few days ago so introductory pricing, cross-grades and other deals abound. Check your favorite reseller. I'm a long-time RX Advanced user and pulled the trigger on day one. Other tools include De-noise, De-hum and the new De-plosive (formerly only in RX 5 Advanced). If you have noise issues, RX is a life and time saver. Back to the topic. The Sony 7506 is good but I prefer the flatter, extended frequency response of the original MDRV6. Sony has discontinued them a few times over the last 30 years but many pros won't use anything else, myself included. The 7506 is a variant of the V6 with an enhanced midrange so that they are easier to hear in a noisy environment. The third version is the V600, designed for club DJs — avoid for critical listening (I have all three).

Can I get a free ride on this topic? I have similar interests.
I am close to buying the AKG K52. I chose it after extensive research and... well, my budget is really tight. I know there are better ones, but I really can't afford them.
Any recommendations against it?

They seem to have lots of good reviews, and for the cost you're really not risking much. Whatever you end up getting; take the time to learn them. Their weaknesses and strengths. You may find them excellent for your needs. Weird that a search for this model also shows the AKG 240s are also still available. I thought these were discontinued years ago (?). https://www.amazon.com/AKG-240-Semi-Open-Studio-Headphones/dp/B0001ARCFA/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1493685463&sr=1-1&keywords=akg+240Another very nice option ..

But the AKG 240s are semi-open back headphones thus don't you risk sound bleeding with them? The AKG K52 are closed back, thus no bleeding.
I have read the semi and open back head phones can cause problems like this. I have no personal experience as I only have used closed back. YMMV
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

You're right. Open or semi-open cans will bleed, but they're also supposed to provide a much better soundstage.
I've seen reviews stating that the K52 has great soundstage in spite of being closed. I don't trust everything I read on the Internet, shills are everywhere, but it seems to be the best bet within my low budget.

A long time ago the K240s were closed back. They also had a switch triggered off of the headband so if you took them off your head they would mute the speakers in each ear cup. Reason: to avoid bleed when someone wasn't wearing them.
