    These cans are great! For the price they are absolutely fantastic. I am a musician for 24yrs, and a recording engineer for 15 or so years. I primarily use these for work, but I also use them for personal use as they sound fantastic. Also they are very comfortable. Much more comfortable than say ATH-M50s(noticed they are a little tight on me now). They are more open as well. What I mean by that is that the 3d imaging is more realistic. Think 4k video vs 1080 video. These would be 4k. Ive found these in many studios around the country and always loved them. But they just are not for that. These sound great as well. Nothing hyped though, so if you want something like Beats look elsewhere! And the price is great as well. Not only that but you can replace the cable with a different one, if say you get it caught in a recliner and it chews up your cable. Had that happen to me with my ATH-M50s cost me about 70$ to send them in to ATH to get the cable repaired. Couldve just gotten another pair of these!

    These are musician headphones. Flat, uncoloured sound. Perfect for mixing, or reference, to hear what a source sound truly sounds like. Excellent separation, the sonic spectrum sounds so wide with these.

    Qualità/Prezzo eccellenti. Non conoscevo la marca ed ero orientato a marche molto più blasonate. I costi elevati però mi hanno sempre fatto desistere. Utilizzo per ascolto musica e per mixaggi. Ottima risposta dei bassi e degli alti. Il driver è comodo ed avvolge bene lorecchio. Buon isolamento dei rumori esterni e non da fastidio anche con gli ochiali. Marca da tener in considerazione. Ottimo.

    Le uso per studiare musica senza disturbare e poi per suonare dal vivo al posto delle in -ear quando lambiente è particolarmente rumoroso ; in questo caso isolano bene . Buona fedeltà del suono su tutto il range di frequenze . Ladattatore da 3,5 a 6,35 è compreso nella confezione e lo spinotto piccolo si avvita cosa interessante così non si rischia di staccarlo mentre si suona .

    I bought these to replace a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M40fss which have a loose contact on the right earphone and goes off at times and were driving me nuts. In comparison, the sound of the ATH-M40fss is a little more flat, which is what one would look for in studio headphones. The K240s struck me as a little scooped-sounding and bassy, but after a little getting-used-to, I find they deliver great clarity and detail while not being exhausting.

    I have a recording studio. Have produced music for Universal Music Canada and Verve Universal USA. I bought my K240s in the eighties and they still work and sound terrific. So I bought these for my son and daughter - both musicians - for Christmas. In the 80s I wrote AKG and said my only complaint was that they should make it so the wire to the source could be easily replaced. THEY DID IT!

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.
