All user reviews for the AKG K 240 Studio

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.

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.

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
yes no hsitation

So I'm not a pro it is important to note, I make music for my pleasure "avancquot amateur, I do not know what the headphone worth" studio pro ", but for my use Mao (fruity loops and pro tools) and multimedia (big player fps) this headphone is top notch. It can be long and trs comments unreal good slap in the headphone "kiling sprreeeeeeeeeee." fruity To pro tools and it is a joy, I can finally compose songs that ring true, I will not tell you the mediums are too low, the bass too much ... it's not my mtier and I n 't know what I can tell you is that the sound seems neutral (m-audio sound card rvolution) and I have composed a really beautiful sound when switching on the hi-fi, frquences seem all their places, I have no surprises. So to finish in round use and it's top home studio, using Pro I do not know.

PS: important with 7 years of violin derrire me I at least ear for music and the sound is unmistakable neutral, a little low but nothing rdhibitoire and if like me you use it also for the Multi-Media dia occasional (game video, dvd) on the contrary more.

It is the only headset I've found that allows me to link mao (I bought it for when a same base) and use multimedia correct.

Used in the studio before having Beyer and Sennheiser!
No presence of the media, no linearity in the headphone world famous!

In short:
The K240 has a worldwide reputation for 25 or 30 years ...
It is found now available from Baker to 100 euros or less ...!
What I think:
No presence of the media, no linearity!
I do not understand the interest for this headset outside the comfort!
Reputation why:
The sound engineers rarely use the headphones in the studio (it tires the head, ears and mind! Not care and the mix up!) Is just a tool to listen to a detail, a tail reverb example
The headphone is used in closed studio by musicians in the cabin, and there, the K240 is actually rather good because very comfortable and not aggressive (for lack of media)
Yes to the musician, not for the sound engineer!
A small Sennheiser HD25 made in Ire is much higher linearity and relatively close to the monitors that the 4412 JBl pocède!

Finally say that the headphone must be close to tapping that was, provided only that they are to really listen linear (a piano is a piano, a trumpet a trumpet and a Rhodes Rhodes ... but there is also the Pianet T Hohner ...

For how long have you been using it? 20 years
Did you try many other models before getting this one? virtually all
What thing do you like most/least about it? loyalty
What is your opinion about the value for the price? very good
Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ... bin yes

it is a very good headset to control the taking, you just know it well, this headphone has a sound. on the other hand, this is not what I would use as a music lover, it is a bit austere ... should be especially well supplied, and be wary of his treachery at the bottom. To proscribe engaging singing! it whenever there is a lot repisse level, it is half open. I am a little sawed to see that compared to the pro gear headphones supermarket.
This headphone was designed to make music, just music
