I am looking at a pair of B&O U70 headphones on Craigslist; are B&O headphones good? if so, should I pull the trigger? Price is $125

Not sure if that's what you really want to spend $125 on unless you want them for vintage/memory purposes. I have visited and listened to B&O stuff and it has never impressed me. Their products are more for people who want that gadget type look instead of people who want a good sounding system.

It is excellent in resolution. The K240 is likely very good as well, but it has a bump in the 100hz midbass area and a pretty high peak at the 6-7khz area. This would make the midrange a little hidden, but the resolution is likely very good.
