    Si buscas graves potentes y sonido ensordecedor no adquieras este producto. En cambio ofrece un sonido limpio, de calidad y fiel a lo que se ha grabado, muy recomendable también porqué al ser semiabierto no cargan aún usándolos largas jornadas. Te dan un look bastante cool de locutor de radio, muy hip.

    This set is better for people that have at least 4 headphones and are looking for a treble detailed set. Not recommended as the only headphone to have. The bass is there but it is not the emphasis and not pounding as some may prefer. Crisp and clear highs, better suited for analytics than “fun”. Some music productions and genre benefit from these headphones, some others do not.

    Ive been using these for the past 2 months, theyre extremely comfortable and sound absolutely stunning compared to everything Ive owned before them. Before these I had a pair of skullcandy hesh, but after I realized skullcandy was horrible I decided on these. I do not regret my purchase, 5/5

    The sound quality for high frequencies, as in high notes of soprano opera singers, was a big upgrade from my previous headphones. But theres too much bass. With my PC, before the music starts, theres a low level bass hum, and when the music starts, theres so much bass that it kills the presence of orchestral music. Ninety percent of what I listen to is classical music, so these may be fine for other types of music. Theyre not uncomfortable, but when I take them off, I get a feeling of relief. Oddly, some other AKG headphones I bought, bluetooth ones mainly for use with my iPod, (AKG Bluetooth Headphone (Y50BT)), produce really superior sound for opera and orchestral music. Ive now bought a bluetooth transmitter for my PC and use the Y50BTs for all listening.

    Best headphones Ive ever owned. Their semi-open nature makes it feel like youre not even wearing headphones. The only notable difference between listening to these and high end studio monitors is the bass. when you turn it way up, you can only feel the bass in your head, not your chest like you would get playing it out of a sub. As such, I have a subwoofer in my studio that I turn on when Im sequencing, but I still wear my k240s to get perfect surround sound. Also, because theyre open, I can still talk to the musicians without having to remove the headphones. Honestly I cant tell you how many times Ive forgotten I was wearing them.

    I love these, especially given the price. These are not digital reference but they come pretty close in my opinion. I bought these to act as monitors for audio recording and they do the job. These headphones come with a detachable/replaceable cable and a 1/4 inch jack that is threaded so it stays on the cable. I bought these as they were recommended by a friend and I am not disappointed. Its worth knowing that AKG is owned by Harman which is owned by Samsung so some good names are behind these. Just know too that these do feel a bit cheap. But if youre looking for a good pair of headphones that are wired, inexpensive, and can act as a good monitor with great clarity and little distortion, these might be should be on your list.

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.
