Do you still use those 7506 headphones a lot for reference after getting the Mackies?

Yeah I do. They're great when I'm composing or doing sound design or just when I want a 2nd reference. But I would never use only headphones for mixing.
I plan on getting a pair of AKG k240s to use as a 3rd reference... and maybe a pair of Sennheisers as a 4th... and then a pair of ADAMs as a 1st with Mackies as 2nd...

imo the 7506 is TERRRIBLE for producing, while great for djeing. Ive had them a few years now and im starting to look for something else, but i want read quality this time.

I've heard this, too. I don't feel they're terrible... I've had major DJ support on tracks done with just a pair of HD7506s. But they probably would have been a lot better had I not.
But, again, they serve well as a 2nd reference and I plan to soon get a pair of AKG K240s and a pair of Sennhesiers to use as a 3rd and 4th references.
I'm in need of a new pair of headphones for DJing and was also considering the 7506 as a 3rd reference for producing on the side. Seeing as the K240s are going for relative low prices, might as well pick them both up

Can never hurt to have multiple reference devices, i am personally saving up for a pair of 240s myself.

Or a pair of Focals. I haven't decided nor do I have the finances. When I do, though, it'll be worth it to drive to Boston to hear them in person before buying.
