Getting used to them
AKG K240 Studio Professional Semi-Open Stereo Headphones
Reviewed by Paul on B&H Photo Video
I got these on a recommendation to replace a pair of Samson SR 850. I love the Samsons for their comfort and sound but the last three pairs that I've had have all shorted out right by the mini plug. The reason I love these AKG K240 is that the cord is detachable and replaceable. I use these for recording and feel they will last a lot longer than my previous headphones. Great value
Nice headphones

This item was purchased for my son (home studio) who was tired of wearing out cheapie headphones from a department store. Haven't tried them a long time, but the sound is great and they seem very well constructed. Price was good.
Good for quite practice and listening to music

I needed something better for practice then the tiny headphones I used for was using to watch movies and TV. They are comfortable enough (can be uncomfortable if you are laying on your side in bed listing to your favorite tunes). I can now here my instrument's timbre and color much better and noticed I could use a noise gate. Having a detachable cable earns and entire star.
Comfortable as hell

I am extra sensitive to headphone comfort. I owned this pair of headphones years ago and sold them. I finally reunited with them and the comfort is just like I remember. On top of that, the sound is excellent. I think they sound better than my Beyerdemic 770's. The bass is very present and the treble is crisp. I don't regret buying them again.
Not Just Another Pretty Face

While the sleek design initially drew me to these headphones, the sound quality is also stellar for video editing. Very flat audio signal allows for true assessment of sound for mixing. The fit is extremely comfortable even with recent piercings. The headphones sit comfortably even after hours of continuous use.

Surprisingly Muddy

Reviewed by Gordon K on Guitar Center
AKG really ought to change their headphone model numbers. They have several models designated "K240," and the differences between them can be extreme. Case in point: I've used a pair of K240df ("diffuse field") phones, for years. They sound spacious, and fairly natural, with low listening fatigue, and they've held up quite well after uncounted hours of studio use. But I wanted a good backup pair of phones, and I thought the K240's (no "df") would be reasonably similar, at a lower price. No such luck! I found them muddy, with the bass overwhelming everything. Upper mids just weren't there. I really was surprised at how poorly they performed. I could get marginally acceptable sound by rolling off the bass in my headphone amp to almost zero. Even then, the stereo imaging was poor. I guess they work for some people, but I sure didn't like them. ... More

I bought a pair of K240 MkII two years ago in January 2009, which I love, and they say Made in Austria on the left earcup. Two years later, these K240s are made in China. Disappointing, and I probably won't buy AKG headphones anymore.

I have been using the vintage version of this model for more than 30 years. This isn't quite the same as the old one, but realllllllly close!

I am very pleased with this product and after reading some reviews. I finally pulled the trigger on this purchase because it is on sale. But I am really impressed with the sound out of the box but will try to burn it in and will try much more good headphone amplifier.
Great headphones. Highly recommend

These headphones transmit sound very clearly. I use them while recording video to monitor audio as well as while editing. These headphones work well for my needs, they don't feel heavy after several hours of use. I'm satisfied based on what I paid.
Sound quality good enough to buy 3 pairs for your studio

So the product delivers better then expected sound quality in high and low ranges. These units were so much better than average, I bought 3 for my studio for use with visitors, unscheduled guests and some mediocre backup singers that wouldn't know these from their Dr. Dre's.

Used in home recording, hours under headset. Comfort, headset being held over your ear provides excellent sound level. Sound quality for my "lil" ears, crystal. Own four other brands. Pair number two is for movie library. Thank you AKG and B and H for your quality and service.

I use this headphones to play may electronic piano. The quality of sound seems good (I didn't have the chance to really stress them). They are pretty light, and I can wear them for long time without any problem.
