With a linear pair of headphones, the diaphragm is 1/2-inch or less from your ear canal. You will ALWAYS hear more detail from headphones than loudspeakers. Very different listening experiences. Moreover, if memory serves, the AKG K-240, based on headphone tests years ago at Canada's National Research Council, has a somewhat depressed midrange with a gentle peak in the upper treble, which will exaggerate upper-mid and high frequencies even more.
