All user reviews of 5/5 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 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 ...

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.

I just couraging a comparative test with the Beyer DT 770 Pro and the Sony MDR 7000DJ.
Conditions have t couraging up costing records and tests Syrius Microfon Das. Each headphone t pass then the "roping frquentielle" pink noise 1 / 3 Oct. 20 and 20kHz 20-20Khz frquences sinusodales still octave.

The 240 M rvle a good balance across the spectrum frequency drives and a good spacialisation. The balance, dynamics and timbre of the instruments are fully respects particulire without browning. Trs prcis without being surgical.

Trs good monitoring headphones as the name implies. Personally impdance of 600ohms is not a handicap condition possder a linear amplifier with a good reserve of power. This impdance leve participates in excellent rendering of this headphone.

Time?
22 years
Special?
Neutrality, isolation, surgical, his personality (monitor? Not really) and robustness.
Yes?
After 20 years, we can not remember the sound of other
Price / quality?
I paid a heavy price in relation to my income at the time and I wanted to isolation and Quality. I got what I wanted, I use less now but at one time, I had several hours a day on the ears. I 'have always connected behind the blocks, 600 ohms, I like it pretty well.
Yes I would buy easily seen that the current price seems ridiculous given the quality (would still have to see if the current is known as a reflection of that of the time)

After 20 years of use, or are the problems / benefits??

Clearly, it is the progressive oxidation of multi-strand copper which create problems of false contacts. Cut the line / change the plug (not troubleshoot or fiddle).

If you just buy it, make a very nasty loop the cable around the headband, making sure that the headband to the base is flexible and relaxed. It améliorerant life every few years.
A +

Here is my opinion on the headphones AKG K240 Monitor version:

- How long have you use it?
I use it for fifteen years, he does my first stereo headphones.
- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
It possde many qualities:
THE FIRST is the price quality ratio, as it can be found in nine out of 75 E bay. I think it's the best quality price in this price range.
Then it is a headphone called "groove", the privilgiant mdiums on the bass and treble, which makes it enjoyable for the trs cost of the rock, pop or the 'electro.
Trs is lenient with the source: you can Listen to CD quality medium and to enjoy it without hearing all the default of the same CD.
Finally, it is a sturdy headphone trs since followed me for 15 years without problem (I have just replace the jack), and yet I did not specially care, including Premire year!

He still few default:
Premire, comfort is not exceptional. He tends "Heat" just the ears. We must therefore remove it from time to time to the s'arer dernires.
Then it's a headphone that takes a lot of power: not going to use a portable CD or connected directly to a sound card. It is 600 Ohm, and push it, it must necessarily possder a headphone amp at best, see a traditional amp possdant a headphone output. (See the limit of a CD deck lounge).
Finally the default, it is my opinion not for classical music. it is not sharp enough in the bass and treble for this style of music (even if your exact is not bad)

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
Even if he does my first hi fi headphones, I now possde two other models:
a Sennheiser HD 650 (much more) and a Sennheiser HD 570 (same price level).
Even if the AKG does not compare to the Senn HD 650 (fortunately addition, the report price is four-fold), I use it more often than my HD 570. I would say that my AKG is for all music except classical, and my HD 570 blends better with classical music.

- How do you report qualitprix?
As explained above, I think it's the best headphones in the range less than 100. It is sturdy and gives a deep and mlodieuse music.

- With the exprience, you do again this choice?
Even if I use less (because Senn HD650), I love my AKG!
I am an addict of music, and it allowed me to listen normment of musical styles for many years. J'espre it will give me much pleasure, and that's all you can ask for a headset, not ?????

Note: The grading is not comparative, but given the relative price range.

-How long have you use it?
1 month

-What is the particular feature you like best and least?
1the comfort
2 complte the return of the sound.
3CE I really apprci ladouceur is sound, keeping the attack.
4JE know that is not to mix with headphones (but when it comes to a dmo the next day, the choice is not always), the ca level can be trusted to advance in the work , until the mix of speakers.
5 this headphone does not have bad quality.

-Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
I tried a sony mdr 7506, and atm40. the sony is really a great headphone, great precision. akg and really does not blush.

-With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
akg no shortage of the call quality.

Update 7 months

it is really gnial. I have my ears carrment rduquer traumatized for years by a headphone sea * e. each instrument is distinct, the night is prmix alone. the day after a small correction of monitor and the tower is played.

I possde including this headphone for a good fifteen years. In DPIT its light weight, which is an advantage, but we will-is solid.
The board to make a loop with the cable should be a board for all headphones, this trick many dconvenues quickly.

I do not return here on intrinsques quality of this product, they have t nonces and I share. I draw attention only INTERPRETATION for a little "nervous" in their styles, nothing pjoratif; Brel-looking, so I draw attention to the fact that lightweight helping, you can make a quarter turn on you even while the headphone, he, will not move ... Gnant.
Angus Young Style, forget or reinforced by dozens of elastic: if not the first time the first riff, the headphone will be on the floor.

I should note 8, silent also quite expensive the era o I bought.
Actualis 9 does not seem to be usurping a note.

Warning: semi-open headphones. I would add again "3 / 4 fermquot, if there was ...
