I checked the frequency curve of those krk headphones. 100 hz has 13 dB boost and 11 Khz has -10 dB drop. So that's 23 dB difference.

Notice that what sounds good and what is neutral are not the same thing. I believe that those headphone may sound very good and it can be a pleasure to use them as a music listener, but I think they are not suited for mixing purposes. But as they are closed they may be excellent for studio work otherwise, for example for tracking instruments etc.
I recommend highly to buy best possible open headphones. In home studio with untreated rooms they are a must. Personally I use Sennheiser HD 600 phones. Check the difference with frequency curve:

Between 100 ha and 11 Khz there's "only" 10 dB difference
Wow thats bad headphones (for mixing at least)!
Nice olli!I have treated my room, though i have some problems still!
Some crazy boost on 140 area is killing me, and makes me use my headphones
