    Its amazing how much better the sound is with a professional headphones. The sound is so crisp and clear, great base sound. I love it.

    Great for recordings, very clear sound. No base, so not for you if its purely for listening to music.

    These are phenomenal. They fit very snug though, fine with me but I can feel my ears a bit sweaty after long use. Bought them for playing guitar.

    Ive been using sony MDR-7506 headphones for years and bought several pairs, but the connecting wire in the headphone over time would get damaged and fail, leaving me with headphones that cant easily be fixed. These AKGs definitely dont provide the noise cancellation that you will find with many headphones but the comfort and quality will exceed many others. I also love that I can replace the cord, as the default is quite long.

    Ive had 2 pairs of these over 6 years and neither one fail to impress me, From me using them on my Ipod classic to using them on my Schitt stack Dac and Amp. Comfort is their, Sound is fantastic, Crisp and clear and impresses me every time i use them. My Current pair is about 4 years old and they still look and sound like new. Worth picking up!

    Ive always liked AKG headphones & I bought these as a Christmas present for my significant other. Were both senior citizens & our hearing sucks, so we watch TV using headphones so conversations are easier to understand. His hearing is much worse than mine so these are perfect for him & hes stated hes pleased with them. Ive tried them & theyre fine for TV but personally, I wouldnt use them to listen to music as I prefer a more refined sound.

    Great cans - The bass is good, the low end drops off a bit and theres a slight mid-bass hump, but it feels clean, punchy, and taut otherwise. The mids are clear and the instrument separation is great. However, some higher pitched female vocals can sound recessed and quiet at times, although this is only a minor concern. The highs are clear and crisp, although a bit more subtle than some cans Ive heard, as the high end rolls off a bit early for my taste. The soundstage isnt particularly wide, but seems precise and has a very clear sense of space.

    I really wanted some comfortable and good sounding headphones to use when practicing guitar late at night or when recording/ just listening to music. Not only are these headphones very comfortable (dont feel like there crushing your head or slipping off), they also dont make your ears ache after prolonged use, and the sound can compete with top shelf headphones for sure. Ive had many pairs of headphones from all different brands (sennheiser, bose, shure, etc..) but this was the first time Ive owned AKG and im definitely impressed by the sound quality and clarity of these headphones. These are a steal at this price and I dont think itll be easy to find any other headphones in this price range that can match the comfort, sound, and build quality of these. Plus it has a removable cable for easy replacement in case of stripping/ breaks but this hasnt even been an issue for me yet.

From the Manufacturer

The AKG K 240 Studio is an update of the "classic" AKG K 240 Monitor. The new K 240 Studio delivers even wider dynamic range and higher sensitivity than its well-known and widely-used predecessor. The secret to the semi-open K 240 Studio"s sound quality is the new XXL transducers in acoustically tuned vented enclosures with circumaural (around the ear) pads. The circumaural pads envelope your ears nicely and reward you with smooth, solid bass and well-balanced, articulate mids and highs.

Founded in Vienna, Austria in 1947, AKG has built a legendary reputation in the professional audio industry for products that perform flawlessly. The reputation of AKG and its celebrated quality are built on more than 55 years of experience, incredible design, meticulous craftsmanship and a clear understanding of what truly sounds right. AKG introduced the K 140 in 1974 and the K 240 Monitor in 1975, which became the most widely used headphones in recording studios and broadcast facilities worldwide. Generations of musicians and audio engineers use these AKG products to create great mixes, hit songs and albums cherished by millions around the world. The new AKG Professional Studio headphones carry on the tradition of these audio tools and are a sound investment that will pay handsome returns with years of flawless sonic performance for professional recording engineers and demanding users of high quality home or portable audio equipment.

Delivers solid bass and well-balanced mids and highs
XXL Transducers with Varimotion Diaphragm

The new XXL transducers use AKG"s patented Varimotion diaphragm to ensure extremely accurate response at any listening level. This technology creates a diaphragm that is thinner, more elastic toward the outside edges for more powerful bass response and thicker, less resonant in the center for pure, accurate mids and clear, detailed highs. The large size of the transducers makes the overall sound more life-like and three-dimensional to capture the emotional and sonic content of your soundtracks.

Gimbal-Type Suspension

To ensure your listening comfort, AKG Professional Studio headphones utilize a self-adjusting headband with a flexible steel structure to deliver optimum fit for your headphones without any fiddling. The structure is flexible, yet strong enough to allow bending for single ear use and is durable enough to withstand rough handling. A gimbal-type suspension ensures the earcups of all AKG Professional Studio models will conform to the shape and size of your ears without pressing on them for hours of fatigue-free, comfortable listening.

Wear Them As You Like

Rugged construction, a non-twisting headband, and powerful sound allow you to use your headphones on a single ear only or wear them in any other way you may prefer. AKG Professional Studio headphones are ideal for DJ and live sound use because they are durable enough to withstand the roughest kind of handling during transport or on stage.

Detachable Cable with Mini XLR Connector

The new AKG Professional Studio headphones utilize a detachable input cable for easy replacement if ever necessary. The cable and headphones use mini XLR connectors for perfect contact and secure mechanical connection. The cable is made of 99.99% oxygen-free copper and has gold plated plugs on both ends including the screw-on 1/8" to 1/4" stereo jack adapter for maximum signal transfer.

Perfect for Portable Audio

You need good quality audio for all your listening--including computer, minidisc, portable CD or DAT player--as well as in the studio. Owing to their high sensitivity and wide dynamic range, the AKG Professional Series headphones are efficient enough to be used with these lower level output sources and still deliver the high definition sound you need when working in the studio or on stage. The excellent workmanship AKG headphones are known for and high quality components ensure loss-free transmission and reproduction of high-resolution signals from all types of digital audio sources.
