  Overall Opinion

  They're pretty light and very comfortable.. unfortunately they don't have the "mute switch" as the k-271 studio that mutes the audio when taking them off (especially good for studio recording where you eliminate possible and unwanted noise from other sets of connected headphones sounding into the mic)
  
  
  
  here's a good one: unfortunately mine broke after 19 years of good and heavy use yes, this is right: this one set of headphones has been in my family for 19 years without any issues. my father bought it for home use, i used it for djing (unfortunately it was the monitor version with 600 ohm impendance, making the sound from the dj mixer very quiet, i'd suggest getting the studio version!) and i have used it to check my panning etc. when producing what happened was that the audiocable got ripped out of place by a mistake (it was a very hard pull, so no cable could have survived this), otherwise they'd probably still be working for another 19 years
  
  
  
  well, they have served me very well over the last 19 years, so i was about to get myself another pair, but eventually today i ordered the akg k 271 studio model, which will hopefully be as loyal as the 240

  Overall Opinion

  I have since the beginning of the century, especially a headphone.
  
  It is DF, which means Teutonic DiffusFeld Entzerrt, ie anechoic.
  
  Therefore extremely clean, and optimal channel separation.
  
  It is very comfortable, no need to adjust anything, but:
  
  The connection from 3.5 to 6.3 screw screwed up very quickly on my copy, which totally ruined the sound. Solution: install a fitting quality standard gold.
  
  The impedance is huge, 600 ohms per side (compared to 32 ohms for most stereo headphones ...)! Translation: you'll need a lot of juice to make it sound. Again, it is especially a professional product, so mixing desk, or better, specific headphone amp.
  
  
  
  What is it? Well, to be mixed precisely the stereo image, and the return of mid-high range is very good. Attention, it n'enjolive nothing is not the goal.
  
  The bass are not well represented, do not complete your mix with (as you compensate with the EQ's going to be very horrible to listen on any system once the mix is ​​finished ...), then prudence. I think it is physically not possible to have the best of both worlds in one headphone.
  
  
  
  However, I use to listen to cd or via a ULTRAFEX ULTRAMIZER (the psycho-acoustic behringer give you great bass and a spatial Dante) plus headphone amp and I can not do without this combination.
  
  I also noticed that I could directly connect the output of Akg preamp tube (ULTRAGAIN 2200) and it sounds no other, surprising.
  
  
  
  My advice: given the current price of headphones, many have it in (to your walkman, stereo, the overall mix, the mix space (the DF is king)) This will avoid many errors and wasted time. I see too many musicos with one headset for all, and of poor quality and more, it does not make sense to invest in a Porsche if you put wheels nice car ...

  Overall Opinion

  It should be two months that I
  
  It is quite comfortable, although a bit heavy (compared to seinheiser)
  
  By frequency drives against the beach is the announcement of foutage face: below 65Hz you hear anything (unless you go up the volume), otherwise it is in the middle and very mdium s prcis in acute, it rises high enough.
  
  I have not tried many other models, but trs qualitprix good value, I would do without this choice hsiter.
  
  edit: APRS ten months of use ... the jack starts to show signs of fatigue (false contacts). So I drop the rating a point for the effort!

  Overall Opinion

  Good sound especially in the middle of the spectrum, trs comfort and no ear fatigue, for it does not go against trs low frequencies.
  
  Personal I used mainly for my balance and my volumes. Then I finalize everything on my monitors (M1 Active mk2 Alsis) especially for the control of my low frequencies.

  Tamino's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Overall Opinion

  I use this semi-open headphones for 2 months. I made the choice to have APRS ing the test in its I work with regularly. Trs is equilibrated across the spectrum, is clarity itself. Cot comfort, perfect, it is not at all tiring.
  
  A bit lightweight in power, he gladly would require a headphone amp, but it's acceptable.
  
  His report is excellent quality price (95 euros from Thomann, bcp more in France)
  
  Without a doubt I would do this choice.
