    Over the years Ive had Senn HD600., various Grado, and recently ATH-M-50 and I find the AKG 240 most comfortable while delievering satisfactory sounds. I use these for practicing guitar and monitoring. Very lightweight feel, no sweaty ear pockets, all I need to get the job done.

    SAVE YOUR MONEY! Get either a better set or a cheaper one these are not a good middle road headphone set. You would think paying for higher than dollar store quality headphones would mean they last longer and provide clear audio. Not with these things. 4 months after purchase these things suddenly merged the left and right channel audio into one garbled mess. Tried getting another cable to see if that would solve these things being unusable. NOPE. I can connect these things to any device and they still sound terrible, one trash channel all mixed together.

    I bought these to replace my Beyerdynamic DT770-80ohms after a 3rd pair of those broke out of warranty. I was skeptical initially that a $60 headphone would compare at all to those, but I am happy to report that the sound quality is almost identical in both headphones; these are essentially perfect reference headphones and I could not be happier with the sound.

    I was looking for a pair of headphones with a decent balanced EQ for doing some home recording. Nothing professional just amateur stuff, mostly in regards to making some beats using a MIDI controller. These things sound fantastic. As some of you might know, studio headphones can easily cost $300 up to $3,000. Now Im sure the pros out there will definitely notice a difference between these kinds of things. But these are perfect for those who are recording at home and who are on a budget. The detachable cable is great. If you ever need to buy a new one, they run about $15 or so. Beats buying a new pair of headphones if the cable ever shorts out. Nice and long cable too. The bass sound on these is perfect. Some headphones have overwhelming bass which makes it nearly impossible to mix down a song, but these are perfect. You shouldnt really be mixing music on headphones as everyone says, but if you have no choice because you dont want to wake up your neighbors, this is the way to go. I could definitely see these being useful for musicians to play along with a click track in a more pro environment as well. Enjoy these puppies. Best in their class Id say.

    I love these headphones for what they are. They are Semi-Open, great sound, etc. I wouldnt record with these, or listen to them in a room where a lot of people are do to the fact sound leaks. But for gaming alone, and especially for monitor phones they are really good for the price.

    i used several studio headphones for practicing my guitar. So far I like this one best, i would give 5 stars for the clean tone --- very close to my marshall amp, maybe 3-4 stars with high overdrive, but thats definitely acceptable.

    Been using AKG headphones for studio use for over 40 years. The AKG 240 has excellent imaging, a true and well balanced/uncoloured frequency response, very comfortable, and is my first choice for endless hours of mastering time. Just bought 2 more sets of these from Amazon. Showed up exactly on time, price is great for headphones of this quality, and they arrived with no damages. Thanks. T.

    Le cuffie funzionano egregiamente. Non infastidiscono anche dopo lunghi periodi di utilizzo. La pressione sonora è bilanciata e le frequenze sono ben distinte scoprendo la natura professionale delle cuffie. Ottimo prezzo anche se le cuffie sono un po datate e lo stile è un classico, quindi intramontabile. La possibilità di cambiare cavo è retaggio professionale, ma anche amatorialmente è un plus di riguardo.

    They are good headphones, just understand you need a good sound card or headphone amp to get the most out of it, otherwise its subpar. Especially on a mobile device which needs an amp.

From the Manufacturer

The AKG K 240 Studio is an update of the "classic" AKG K 240 Monitor. The new K 240 Studio delivers even wider dynamic range and higher sensitivity than its well-known and widely-used predecessor. The secret to the semi-open K 240 Studio"s sound quality is the new XXL transducers in acoustically tuned vented enclosures with circumaural (around the ear) pads. The circumaural pads envelope your ears nicely and reward you with smooth, solid bass and well-balanced, articulate mids and highs.

Founded in Vienna, Austria in 1947, AKG has built a legendary reputation in the professional audio industry for products that perform flawlessly. The reputation of AKG and its celebrated quality are built on more than 55 years of experience, incredible design, meticulous craftsmanship and a clear understanding of what truly sounds right. AKG introduced the K 140 in 1974 and the K 240 Monitor in 1975, which became the most widely used headphones in recording studios and broadcast facilities worldwide. Generations of musicians and audio engineers use these AKG products to create great mixes, hit songs and albums cherished by millions around the world. The new AKG Professional Studio headphones carry on the tradition of these audio tools and are a sound investment that will pay handsome returns with years of flawless sonic performance for professional recording engineers and demanding users of high quality home or portable audio equipment.

Delivers solid bass and well-balanced mids and highs
XXL Transducers with Varimotion Diaphragm

The new XXL transducers use AKG"s patented Varimotion diaphragm to ensure extremely accurate response at any listening level. This technology creates a diaphragm that is thinner, more elastic toward the outside edges for more powerful bass response and thicker, less resonant in the center for pure, accurate mids and clear, detailed highs. The large size of the transducers makes the overall sound more life-like and three-dimensional to capture the emotional and sonic content of your soundtracks.

Gimbal-Type Suspension

To ensure your listening comfort, AKG Professional Studio headphones utilize a self-adjusting headband with a flexible steel structure to deliver optimum fit for your headphones without any fiddling. The structure is flexible, yet strong enough to allow bending for single ear use and is durable enough to withstand rough handling. A gimbal-type suspension ensures the earcups of all AKG Professional Studio models will conform to the shape and size of your ears without pressing on them for hours of fatigue-free, comfortable listening.

Wear Them As You Like

Rugged construction, a non-twisting headband, and powerful sound allow you to use your headphones on a single ear only or wear them in any other way you may prefer. AKG Professional Studio headphones are ideal for DJ and live sound use because they are durable enough to withstand the roughest kind of handling during transport or on stage.

Detachable Cable with Mini XLR Connector

The new AKG Professional Studio headphones utilize a detachable input cable for easy replacement if ever necessary. The cable and headphones use mini XLR connectors for perfect contact and secure mechanical connection. The cable is made of 99.99% oxygen-free copper and has gold plated plugs on both ends including the screw-on 1/8" to 1/4" stereo jack adapter for maximum signal transfer.

Perfect for Portable Audio

You need good quality audio for all your listening--including computer, minidisc, portable CD or DAT player--as well as in the studio. Owing to their high sensitivity and wide dynamic range, the AKG Professional Series headphones are efficient enough to be used with these lower level output sources and still deliver the high definition sound you need when working in the studio or on stage. The excellent workmanship AKG headphones are known for and high quality components ensure loss-free transmission and reproduction of high-resolution signals from all types of digital audio sources.
