There are two sets of headphones because they're for different purposes and sound different. Sony MDRV6 are closed-back, so they're for monitoring while recording. Open-back headphones bleed sound and would be picked up by the mic, causing feedback or other undesirable effects.

AKG K 240 are open-back and sound very different from the Sony. The Sonys are very harsh in the high end with a weak low-end; AKGs are the opposite. So I use both as reference points when mastering. AKG tells me if there's too much bass; Sony tells me if there's too much high.

This is sort of like keeping a cheap boom box (or, today, a phone) in the mastering suite to make sure the audio doesn't sound terrible on the awful devices we actually use. I don't do that though; just the two headphones.

By the way, both of those headphone models are about $70 new. This isn't fancy gear.

I kind of want to get one of these booths to put in the middle of my open-plan office, to work in.

Why two headsets? I doubt you're squeezing another person into that booth.
