I think the current K240 Mk2s I recently bought to replace them are not as good as the original "sextet" model.. I now use the K240 Mk2s when I'm playing my keyboard silently and K702s for more critical listening. Both are light and comfortable.
Yep, this is one of the original "sextets". I haven't tried it side by side with any newer ones, so it's hard to compare. These ones still had the original cable, which was getting a bit rough, so I ended up replacing it by 3D printing a piece that allowed me to add a Mini XLR jack. This allows me to use the cables from my K7XX.
I now wish I'd done similar. Unfortunately I ordered the new ones and disposed of the old. Mistake frown

A friend back when I bought the originals asked to borrow them to compare with his Stax electrostatic headphones. Crazy money headphones. His verdict was that the Stax were slightly better, but fearsomely heavy and fearsomely costly and if he'd know of the Sextets he wouldn't have bought the Stax.
