    Ich benutze AKG Kopfhörer seit über 25 Jahren und bin grundsätzlich von deren Qualität überzeugt, obgleich selbige in den letzten Jahren leider etwas nachgelassen hat, grundsätzlich aber nur ein Jammern auf hohem Niveau. Warum sehr gut funktionierende Systeme wie beim AKG K 141 oder 701 plötzlich mit einer anderen OHM Zahl daherkommen ( der 600 Ohm war legendär!) ...Schade- geht deutlich zu lasten der Klangqualität. Der K 240 ist ein All Ear Kopfhörer, umschließt das gesamte Ohr. Das muss man mögen. Ich benutze allerdings fast täglich AKG Kopfhörer der höheren Preisklasse und kann bei den einzelnen Modellen dementsprechend die Unterschiede feststellen. Für wen ist der K240 geeignet? Eines vorweg - der K240 verzeiht keine schlechteren Aufnahmen, wenn jemand z. B Musik z.B von Videos runterlädt und dann hört oder generell keine gute Qualität des Songs bieten kann wird am dem Kopfhörer keine Freude haben. Letztlich hat der 240 nun mal seine Hauptbestimmung als Studio -Kopfhörer und das merkt man auch. Für meine alte Pioneer Anlage mit ordentlich Rumms kann er aber ebenfalls gute Dienste leisten. Als Kopfhörer um Pop,Rock oder Radio zu hören, die mit viel Gesang einhergehen empfinde ich den K240 als eher mäßig geeignet. Die Musik verblendet sich stark mit dem Gesang und die Stimmen wirken im Gegensatz zum Gesamt Klang-Volumen recht unausgewogen. Ist natürlich ein All Ear der diesbezüglich eh schon anders arbeitet als z.B. der AKG 141 oder 121. Eine gute Dämmung der Hintergrundgeräusche, wie man sie von geschlossenen Kopfhörern sonst kennt, gibt es hier eher nicht. Der Frequenzgang von 15 Hz – 25 kHz deckt das wichtigste Spektrum genügend ab. Die Bässe klingen gut definiert, die Höhen sind ok und auch die Mitten sind ordentlich herauszuhören.Klassische Musik (ohne Gesang) oder generell alles ohne Stimmen passen meiner Meinung nach besser zum 240. Dort kann man auch bei bekannten Stücken nochmals ganz neue Akzente entdecken. Mein Augenmerk liegt allerdings auch eher auf Musik mit Gesang, von daher ist der K 240 für mich nicht ganz optimal. Für mich noch ein wichtiger Punkt- nicht jeder ist mit einem Normal bis größeren Schädel gesegnet- der 240 ist groß, das Problem gibt es öfter bei den All Ear-Modellen,für mich als Frau mit einem doch eher kleineren Kopf ist das Teil schlicht und ergreifend viel zu groß. Bei anderen Kopfhörern wie z.B dem AKG K 141 kann ich da tricksen und mir diese mit Küchengummiringen festfricklen das er gut sitzt, bei dem 240 ist dies leider nicht möglich. Das gute Teil ist mir leider um einiges zu groß, für zierliche Frauen also eher nicht geeignet

    These sound amazing. They have a soundstage that really surrounds you. The highs are clear and the bass is solid. They are not fatiguing to listen to. The build quality is decent and they are pretty comfortable. They are a lot lighter than I expected as well. The auto adjustment and large cable are pretty awesome. Being nit picky: the cups are huge for my little ears so they kinda push on my jaw. I needed some headphones for work and didnt realize just how much sound leaks out of semi-open earphones. These are borderline annoying for my coworkers who work in adjacent cubes. They leak a little too much for what I need them for, so I ordered some m30xs on sale.

    I use them with my phone and PC and they sound amazing. Very comfortable although sometimes my ears do get heated and slightly sweaty with them on. But that is barely any dealbreaker for me. I do not use an amp.

    As of now the headphones I received have a frequency response imbalance between the left and right drivers. The difference is clearly audible, especially when you flip the headphones on backwards. Currently I am stuck with these and have not received a response from customer service.

    La cuffia presenta su ogni tono vocale alto una distorsione inaccettabile.....mi dispiace molto ero molto speranzoso per questo prodotto.

    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.

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.
