All user reviews for the AKG K 240 Monitor

I just raliser a comparative test with the Beyer DT 770 Pro and the Sony MDR 7000DJ.
Conditions have t ralises by listening to records and testing Syrius Das Microfon. Each headphone will then pass the "roping frquentielle" Pink Noise 1/3 October 20 20khz and frequencies sinusodales 20 20Khz still octave.

The 240m reveals a good balance across the spectrum of frequencies and good spacialisation. The balance, dynamics and timbre of the instruments are perfectly respects uncolored particulire. Not be very accurate surgical.

Very good monitoring headphones as the name suggests. Personally Impedance of 600ohms is not a handicap condition possder a linear amp with good power only feature. This Impedance Leve participates in excellent rendering of this headphone.

I use it for about a year,

EXTRAS:

I love its ergonomics (it really well around the ears, are a treat listening flexible, light weight, forget the fact) and also the feeling of comfort it provides sound (very clear and precise placement of sound). As monitoring headphones so it's perfect. I have not encountered the problem of impedance, however, connected live on my Delta 44 he goes to a level stronger than my MP5 pregnant!

Cons:
the outline he gives her is flattering in listening every day but becomes quite problematic when used in the mix. In my case I have yet to calibrate it with my main speakers so you know exactly what result I get: it gives a depth to the midrange and treble that in the end my mix sounded too muffled on my MP5 or my stereo. I know we should not mix in the headphones, but at night all the neighbors are sleeping

Overall, I do not regret my purchase, but if anyone has some advice to overcome this critical (subjective) I'm interested.

I use the K240 Monitor prs since 3 months due to a good hour and a half day minimum.

True, this headphone a little flatter contour strophonique sound, but what a joy to cost! Overall, I find it fairly neutral and especially prcis trs. I cre all my patches with and K240 will be a tool rvle redoutale in sound design. Nanmoins, bass are underestimated by the semi-closed headphones.

Before, I used dj headphones Sennheiser (including the famous HD25, which flatters too low) and BeyerDynamic ...

The ratio quality / price honnte I pay my own 100 and I do not regret my purchase.
Its use will be an optimal matching sytme monitoring performance.

A good mix is ​​above all good ears ...

Comment gnral
Headphones to the sound enjoyable if a little flattering and lacking in high prsence mdium. Sound a little hollow what. Lots of bass, treble trs clear. But the bass is quite bizarre: it is striking, but lack of harmony.
Trs trs enjoyable to listen to music. We hear everything really well, we are immersed in the sound.
A little "warm" stand for a long PERIOD.
Can also be used trs well to work his instrument, his voice prparer of squence, use costs a musician when making ...
Also listen to a track or a mix of for DCEL = increasing problem.
For cons, I'd do him too much confidence to a qualisation rgler effect or because of his ct too flattering.

I bought mine used 30 euros, dja used for years, and is bttn.
I feel good last for years to come (some keep more than 10 years without a problem!)
It is super comfortable, lger.Sa construction is suspended and oddly trs well done.
No problem for impdance home (and I use it yet live sound card, which is not the most powerful sources).
Panning is prcis trs, trs sound is good (for this type of range, although sr!).
Low prcises farms and nothing more.
If you want more bass extreme (which some reproach him), we must look elsewhere (Sony, Philips, ...).
But it will be dtriment the rest ...
Personally, I prfre boost the bass singing the case (which is rare).
So I would put 10 because I have a hard to find a default TRUE (the bass as a compromise for me), especially for the price

I bought these headphones thanks to the advice of AF and the corresponding forum.

Very good headphone that highlights the scenic so formidable.
You can hear everything with and I discovered on my favorite cd of the subtleties that my Sennheiser hd210
blackout (too serious and less accurate), really impressive.

With this headset I found some mistakes on my artwork made with my QY100
a distortion in the genus lying on a battery and kidnapping after another on
the bass that I had not noticed with the hd210.

Comfort is good but after a few hours, however, it crushes me some parts
ears (those that exceed ...) something I had not seen the Sennheiser.
This is due to the thickness of the foam of the hd210 ear is higher and more rigid
on the Akg. Unfortunately we can not really realizing it by testing a few minutes.

It is 600 ohms which compared to hd210 making it 32 provides a smaller volume
on the headphone output of a CD player, a mixer or my QY100 but it remains
very adequate (some limit on the QY100 anyway!) unless it is connected to the output
a multi-effects Digitech RP50 kind or Zoom 504 with no large output power
(On a pedal the result is even worse!).
In this case it is best to plug them into a mini-amp or a mixer because even with
The Sennheiser level was really light.

I would do reconseille the keg and this choice because as money (95 euros) is excellent.

Bought two days ago.
No I have not been disappointed by the reputation of the headphone. A very stable low end burr-free. No aggressiveness at the top of the spectrum. Lack of power has its impedance of 600 ohms. iconvenient this can be avoided by the purchase of a 55 ohm model, but I do not know if he has the same frequency response. I chose this model because I never listen n at high volume. Of course this is a headset with the disadvantages this may have: severe flattering setreo one that seems unlimited, ... But al air headphone to fulfill its role as the sheller of the spectrum. No I have not had time to break in but it sounds like that now it is full of promise for the future. I do not regret this purchase worth the 86 that Sony and others that I have Beyerdynamic able to test, plus he is beautiful ca did not hurt. A test as soon as possible.
