The AKG K 240 Studio headphones have been a part of my set up for 2 years now and they are still going strong. I have not had any problems with them from the day that I purchased them and they have been a joy to work with. They are jet black with a gold trim around the outside of the center part of the ear cup showing just enough gold color to accent the headphones. I have put these headphones on and had them on for over 2 hours before and never even wanted to take them off. They are very comfortable and can be adjusted to any size you need them. They come with a 10 foot cable and stereo adapter. They frequency range is 15 Hz to 25,000 Hz and have an impedance of 55 ohms. These are very affordable and worth the buy, you will get your money’s worth out of them within the first week of using them.
The sound quality is very clear, the highs have amazing clarity and the mids and lows are rich and warm. I have mixed many songs with these headphones and get some of my best work out of them. Before I purchased these I was using a pair of Shure headphones that were like these circumaural semi open headphones but they just were not comfortable enough for me to keep on for more than 30 minutes without them irritating me. Someone recommend that I try the AKG K 240’s and I have been using them every since. I do not use them as my main headphones but they are the top 3 that I use and I mainly take these with me the most when I travel. The warm sound and no coloration has me sold on these headphones and I will use them for years to come.

AKG K240 Studio headphones, semi open back, detachable cord, very flat response. When I bought these I brought my ipod into Guitar Center. I sat down with 3 pair to pick out my favorite. Among these were Shure SRH44's, Sennheiser HD280s, Audio Technica ATH-M50's and a few others. Prices ranged from $100 to 200, open back to semi open to fully closed. On my ipod I have ranging from CCR all the way to Machine Head so I had a good variety to hear. I also had master tracks from MetallicA, Alice in Chains, and Randy Rhoads so I could hear how individual instruments sounded.
I chose these because the SRH's weren't very comfortable, had a lot of bass, and had a sort of compressed feel to them (they're fully closed back). The ATH-M50's had ice picky highs, weren't comfortable, and just didn't sound nearly as good. These are semi open back so they don't let as much noise in/out but there is still some bleed. They sound very natural, highs are smooth and don't hurt your ears at higher volumes. Bass wasn't overwhelming but even when turned up it didn't get farty. They are very comfortable. They sit around your ear instead of on them and have very little push against your head, the SRH's felt like a clamp. Basically everything sounded very balanced and what I'd imagine everything SHOULD sound like. Must be a reason most studios use these headphones.
Cool little things like the detachable cable are just a big plus. Overall these are great headphones. May not be the best when tracking because of the bleed but out of the ones I tried they had by far the best sound and were most comfortable which is ideal for mixing and just overall listening. For tracking I’d recommend a closed back headphone like the ATH’s or the SRH’s, but for mixing it’s all about open or semi open back.

- Bought two weeks ago.
- Headphones closed in prcis mdium and severe (even a little flattering, but it's clean most headphones) may be the high end down to the accent.
- Tried Sennheiser (very low-mdium and always the same problem of cables eaters)
Pioneer DJ headphones (the bass are still shaking my skull bote, treble, much less, no y '.) The clebrissime 7506 (always the bass boost ...), etc. .. .
- This is a headphone that makes 135 trs is what must be a registered 135 headphone.
- I MODEL Rasht this, because it is in the same range as the 7506 for under 80. If the purse permitted, I might be purchasing the 7509, less flattering parat it.
PS: impdance trs low, as opposed to so-called MODELS monitors.

J used this headset for about 2 months (170 in a store).
for use guitar amp and headphone / simulation hp (guitar gibson cs356, Ibanez JS1 / DC30 Mesa Boogie amp, marshall 30th anniversary).

I was looking for the sound produced by the HP and above all respect the personality of the guitar.
-The tone of the instrument and the characteristics of the amplifier are well preserved (with a little less heat and slightly less type) but c is really very good!

- It is light, comfortable, not need much volume.
sound and light not aggressive rather neutral, not that hides all low.
for listening to MP3s on pc it does not forgive. he respects good music.
I can compare a pc headphones / audio 30 60 + Max a former high-end.

- For the sensitive people REMBOURAGE generates a small effect of contact style slight perspiration, after several hours of removing the need. too flattering to some music. not very useful for everyday use tv, pc, hifi bottom line.

I am very pleased with this headphone, knowing that I am not a specialist studio / mixing. + damage it lacks comfort for 10/10.

I did that for two weeks, and it is not yet done everything rd.
I have a sennheiser HD212 Pro, HD470 and I had one.

I have tried many headphones in my life, but it is really at the top. It is trs end analytical prcis with its end. I redcouvert discs. Each sound has its place. We sometimes hear the breath of a vocal track that I had never heard before or a click of the tongue, a background noise on the mic or in the studio ...

Trs is surprising. The other thing is that it is enjoyable and trslger wear for hours without fatigue, physical or hearing elsewhere.

The only default is that it is not closed. So you can hear everything going on around, but it chooses to purchase. It is not really intended to catch, but plutt the monitoring and mixing. For decision, I sennheiser makes a good job.

I just got it and I can immediately tell my dj impressions Premire use. I bought it from thomann, but hey who cares ... value for Q / P, bought to replace my left sizzled with K240M mchament (and really trsgnant dsagrable) APRS two years of service ... APRS have chauss I recognize the precision of AKG, it seems less violent on the spatial, version M sent me the low derrire the skull, it is not so bad I found it EXAGRES still is a headphone, so the spatialization is not at monitors. It seems to me that the bass is a bit boosters around 80 100 Hz (test or a mix I have fun with infra, and a CD that I know qualis in the low + high ... bah in infra, still nothing, I will continue as usual groping ... (see my monitors that n 'psa go there either) ... I find not really an ague below but rather low above ... 8 for its lack of neutrality will have to get used to. It's still agr Able to listen to music, and it does let any of his bullshit ... (besides the Groundation ing its gates have to be careful and not to overload the brass, I found that if these albums mixes well!)

I ais 2 years. I just bought a Sennheiser HD280pro for closing (making battery in my case). Comfort is really at the top. Contrary to previous opinion, I would say it is much more balanced than the HD 280pro, which he has abused the low and high aggressive enough. So, these two headphones complement each other well: the Senn for noisy environments, the K240 to experience all the finesse of the music. I find pretty well balanced BM6A (everything is relative of course!). When I listen to a mix in the evening after having done so on the monitors, it sounds bah still pretty similar.

I think the person of the previous opinion had too accustomed to his Vivanco. But I do not get me any more. A headphone that complies with the stereo headset despite the fact ... Senn is the largest, with a hole between the center and ends. So I think it's easy with this K240studio premixes. It will also be very good in decision-vocals, guitars (anything that is not too loud, because it isolates very little ...
Spent whole days without a headache or ears: AKG thank you!

I use this headset for about 1 month. I bought it to replace my old headphone Vivanco 1000 IFL has ears that fall (excellent high-end headphones for 90 years at the time of 1000 FF). Why this choice? because the reviews were good AF (good spatial rendered neutral), and also because a headphone of this type you have in the family since at least 1980 ... and still works.

But in short, listen to this wonder ... A quick comparative listening with the 1980 version ... it is incomparably better, open, accurate. Comfort is always the same, that is to say very good, even if the plastic pads are a little sweat the mammoth in the long run.

Second listen, recently performed on a hard product, for which I really a more accurate that its real (taken acoustic vocal). Disappointment!! There's too serious, but really too much (it seems a massive injection of testosterone in the male voices), and highs are a bit dull. I take the 1000 IFL Vivanco, everything falls into place and everything is consistent with the listen live [: b], and the final product mastered, the monitor speakers and hi-fi.

I tried on hard (still voice) well known to me and again, same is too low. They are not unpleasant, but invade the ear and focus attention on them. So it's certainly very convenient for a bassist to meet a bass line, but frankly, it's not neutral at all! Maybe on electronic music, the fact that serious, but taken on acoustic (jazz, classical), it's too serious!

Damned! Disappointment! I immediately think of resale.

Can I plug in my digital piano and then, finally, happiness. A round and full, very realistic. a real treat to play the piano with that thing on her head. cancel the ad. It's a shame, I only used only that, but it does really well.

In short, as every time I deviated from the basic rule base and "always listen before you buy", I was punished :-( ... but luckily I was able to ensure good conversion zinzin to AKG.

I put 5 because blah and 9 because phew! ... So 7

PS. with 55 ohms, I use it directly on a sound card, a minidisc. No problem level.

- How long have you use it?
> A little over a year.
- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
> Trs comfort I find is true that after a while was a little hot and you sweat from the ears but it has not crasis and it is not too heavy.
- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
> I'm not a pro sound so I really tried not upscale, just a philips hi-fi real bad, an open beyerdynamic forgot the name, a Sennheiser HD200 and the Sony 7506. Rather for multimedia applications (PA cdrom, video and installation art installation). It's the AKG prfre I (but I only had timely reports with other headsets), may be because I bought it ... Apart from a few low Balzer I repprocher him anything, and spatial sharpness is really clean and you can hear everything. In addition, branch on my piano numrique I sound really powerful, warm and round.
- How do you report qualitprix?
> I got it new for 115 euros Pigalle, I think they s'taient plant on the price. In my opinion a Q / P TRS benefits.
- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
> I think so but I lack of experience, if I had the money I would have probably bought the 7506 (on the advice of friends more qualified than me) and I would have certainly found gnial also so ...

- How long have you use it?
Few months.

- What is so special that you like most and least?
As: y 'has a lot ... May be the golden-black look to the old (:
The Cons: the bass is too powerful equalizer with normal.

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
I tested a lot of headphones in the store, and I also have a Sennheiser.

- How would you rate the quality / price?
This report is good. The headphone is still not so expensive (130 €, we have seen worse) and reported an excellent sound quality. The highs are present and have a good resolution.

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
For the same budget, without a doubt. This is my favorite headphones.
I use to work on computer production, and mixes. Just too powerful low level by dropping a bit on the EQ of the sound card.

I use it for several months.

I like the fact that it is relatively neutral, not too much treble, not too low in contrast to my old Sony headphones was unusable as it mixing or recording serious boost. I also like the ergonomics, it can be worn for several hours without pain to the ears or head, and then the cable that goes from one side is a good thing.

It is used primarily to register me with Guitar Rig 2 and I think it is perfect, the saturations were going well and its a generally linear.

I tried a few models but in this price range, I have not found better. The value for money is excellent.

With experience I will not change my choice ... It remains to see life as it is often foam or leather that do not hold due to sweat after several months of use.

I use these headphones for a year
I had not tried a lot of pros headphones before this one, especially headphones dj but use completely different ... the dj mix.
it is a joy, I dried up more praise about it, it's a marvel to an accuracy daunting for mixing and effects to dose properly it has proven much more reliable than my monitoring ( Fostex PM-1) and a very reasonable price (130 euros music action)
I not only remake that choice again in a second one but I bought it along with a friend who is also closed and I recommend to another that has not regretted its purchase either!
go there with closed eyes!
A real reference!
AKG thank you!

Here I am, this is maintenat another year or two years that I have this jewel, it is still in excellent condition and still absolutely no complaints!

How long the pssossdez you? Last 48 hours
+ the comfort, we can keep it on the head for several hours, trs comfortable.
the - it is not so neutral that given the low super Submitted which would increase or Partick Juvet christophe willem for tenors. Bie that one mixes with a headphone, exercise can s'avrer misleading. That said, trs well in mdiums and also in the treble.
Cover singer in the studio, I tried a lot of other headphones, so good and property melleurs too. A banned for taking in the studio singing with a microphone because of large diaphragm microphone if the return is too powerful .... I made the dizziness and I followed the advice of the specialist in selling, do not report me for me even it was a semi open ...... So shop has changed rapidly. Yet he parat many pro studio used for decision .... Singing ... I'm not so Sr, but hey, I do not know everything lol ....
I would do this choice, but not for a return to taking singing. I am but one in five for the usefulness that I wanted to do and does not seem to match, but against good and quite comfortable in the neutral from the bass.

- How long have you use it?
Months.

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
The sound is trs Fidler, nothing wrong.
Good return of all frquences with low lgrement booster.
These headphones are comfortable trs, we can keep it for hours without it we ESG.
Look nice.

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
A Pioneer DJ5000, a DJ headphones, so not much to see. I chose these headphones for its price, its brand and reputable.

- How do you report qualitprix?
Excellent. 95 Thomann is a gift.
