    + Excellent invoice (!)
    + Very comfortable (you can wear it very long without the note)
    + Very good sound
    - Maybe a little too low

    One of the best helmets

    I use it for over 20 years. Yes, I have tried many different models for 30 years, I have other headphones aujourdh'ui whose Shure SRH750DJ and Technics RP DJ 1210. I appreciate the quality sound by restite cons, mechanically, it is the household, the headband / headband is attached to the ear and I often had to disassemble everything to restore it. So the basic version, that 'jai, is open type and semi-open and it is not ideal to mix in a club or noisy environment. The high impedance, 600 ohms, and you need a good headphone amp. It is true that, initially, it's a headphone monitoring radio studio where he excels. For those who think the record in the treble is just erased, simply turn the 2…

It is true that, initially, it's a headphone monitoring radio studio where he excels. For those who think the record in the treble is just erased, simply turn the 2 slices of tissue absorbing cushions between the atria and the hull. on the other hand it is very comfortable for long periods of plays, and even that is most comfortable to my knowledge. Mine still works despite raffistolages and I do not regret having made that choice one day. In fact, each headphone is more or less adapted to this environment, to such use or such human ears. We need to try several to find one that fits your hearing.

    To listen alternative "Hi-Fi"

    I bought mine used, and if it looks in good condition I wonder if he has not lived a little too, because I find it tends to filter out the highs ... He exaggerates the bass but in a nonaggressive way, rather round. C

    e is not tiring to listen rather nice but when I use my Beyer DT-880 comparison is cruel for the 240, it manages a bit when I go back a little treble to 10kHz, a few db and I put a cut down gradually.

    With this small correction this headset allows me to listen a little "hi-fi" in my mixes, comparable to the general public with a headphone of good quality, which can stand back!

    I recommend headphone unique in monitoring because of its lack of neutrality (too much bass / tr…

    I recommend headphone unique in monitoring because of its lack of neutrality (too much bass / treble not enough), his lack of finesse in the details and dynamics a bit "soft"

    I've used these headphones for 2 years now, they are comfortable, good-looking and, more important than all, they DO sound really good. They helped me make better home studio mixes through revealing some frequencies that usually remained hidden with "usual" (non-professionnal) headphones or speakers. The impedance is very high (600 ohms) compared with most other headphones, so with the same settings the general volume will be lower on these ones than on most other headphones. They also tend to saturate early in the lower part of the sound spectrum (DeeJays, stay away! ;) ), which may help if you have a tendency to overload your mixes with low frequencies. Listening to (and redisco…

Listening to (and rediscovering) some old records with them can be a real pleasure too...

    It is a pity this model is no longer available (it was replaced by the K 240 Studio which has a lower impedance seems to favor low frequencies and thus shall be less trustworthy for mixing purpose).
