    Brilliant sound and powerful phones, but let down by the ear pieces being very uncomfortable. I reluctantly returned this product as I couldnt put up with the discomfort despite the full soundboard.

    The headphones arrived in an unsealed box, with no tape or anything to keep the box closed, the chords and stuff were not in any sort of bag or wrapped up, just all loose stuff in an open box. its amazing the delivery driver was able to get them to my door without eveerything falling out. as it basically fell open when I picked them up. These boxes normally come with a plastic wrap, not this pair. I disinfected the product and tested it, everything was there and works, but if I wanted an open box and used product I would have bought a used pair and saved money. I only ordered them through amazon to save a few bucks on shipping, if I were to buy again Id order from sweetwater or another vendor.

    Sicuramente È un buon prodotto qualità prezzo e praticità per indossarlo soprattutto con lascolto in studio ma con legato ad alcuni device il suo volume massimo generale risulta sempre molto basso mentre collegato ad un amplificatore più potente di un impianto stereo professionale si può alzare di più il volume il linea di massima buon prodotto.

    Perhaps I am not the most suitable to comment on this product, it is the first time that I buy studio headphones because I am starting with music production, but the truth is that they seem to me of a high quality and the sound is very good ... very comfortable ...

    What can I say? These are the gold standard in broadcast headphones. You wont find a better pair of cans at this price. You probably wont find a better set of headphones at ANY price. I know that there is the MK II version of these now, but unless someone is going to buy them for you, the K-240 is the only way to go. Not only are they the best sounding headphones, they are also very comfortable. If youre a broadcaster or podcaster, you wont be disappointed. And the price! You cant beat the price right now! Buy these before theyre gone forever!

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.
