    These are great headphones, its just a shame that they do not isolate external sounds very well, but this is expected for semi-open cans. Do not get these to listen to music on your iPod on tube rides, portable devices usually are not powerful enought for these, but its just because they are pretty good studio headphones.

    Excellent quality. Sounds as good as any headphones I have purchased in the past. Long cable to allow for plenty of room to move around while they are being worn. I have yet to be disappointed with any AKG product.

    Made in オーストリア製からの買い替えです。聞き比べるとハッキリと違いはわかりますが、オーストリア製は良くも悪くも劣化しています。空気感は新しい方が素敵に感じます。私は比較するべきではないと思いました。

    Great cans! Bought mine in the early 1990s back in my radio days. Still use them for Ham radio work and some home studio VO work. Audio levels are little low compared to other headphones so the volume is higher than usual, but great sound reproduction. Very comfortable too - I can wear them for a 5 hour radio show with no discomfort whatsoever. My 25+ year old set are starting to fall apart (still sound great though), so considering buying another one. Think I paid around $90 back in the day - great investment for 25 years of service!

    I owned a pair of AKG 240s Headphones back in 2003-2008 and remember loving their comfort and open and clean sound... however, one earphones started to short out after tremendous abuse, and I ended up breaking them to the point of garbage trying to fix them myself (lesson learned).

    They look great out of the box... They feel very cheap and flimsy.. However they sound great for mixing and recording vocal tracks...

    casing on the outer part of the right headphone speaker fell apart after a few months of regular use. not meant for long-term or heavy use, i guess. waste of money.

    Have several pairs of these. Very comfortable to wear for long sessions and replacement parts are easy to find at Full Compass Audio. Have been using these since my first pair in 1986!

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.
