As the name suggests, the K240 MKII is the next iteration of the K240, a true AKG classic that has won over legions of loyal users in the years following its debut. You can count this reviewer among that group.

  Too soft to dig-up the finest details and dynamic nuances, needs a bit more punch

know this are for studio monitoring and mixing and not much of street headphones and for the first they are flawless and totally reliable, come with a coiled and standard detachable cable

I have the early mark11 headphones ,these are all black with gold trim , the cable on mine is strait 2 metre 10 mil thick high quality rubber feel cable , this drops out from the left hand side underneath the round gold end plate , gold end plates are found on the outside of both sides, the right...

Simply excellent. Wide soundstage, not that much as K702, but great. Trebles are little higher, but nothing disturbing. Bass is fine, even in subsonic level and middles are well-blended between these.

Bought the AKG K250 MKII to replace the K240 that I used for 10 years. After researching other options decided to go with this model because I like the semi-open back sound, comfort, addition of an extra detachable coiled cable and extra set of ear pads.

I had few experience in music studio. There was big speakers, and few tech guys. After few months, there I happened to notice a headphone. One of the tech guy told me about the importance of headphone. So, I went to the market and bought it. I am a hobbyist. So, I do not have developed ear.

Trying to find decent headphones, which fit a certain receiver can be challenging .The K3 sounds good if you tailor the EQ, find the right AGC settings for the given situation/band and back down the RF-gain.I´ve tried several headphones for my radios.So I´ve got a favourite headphone for each of...

I have been an AKG fan for over 40 years! I am on my THIRD pair in forty years! The first model I had was AKG 141 and after hearing the K240's I am forever spoiled by this pure sound these deliver.

I bought my first K240 headphones in the 1970's. They tend to short out on one side and the cord is not replaceable, but they have lasted almost 50 years. My second set bought in the 1990's work fine. This is my third set.

These are considered the studio standard in circumaural open back headphones for good reason. The sound reproduction is excellent, with clear bass and midrange and a very balanced profile through the entire frequency spectrum.

These phones have a very accurate response; I cannot detect LF bumps or HF peaks. Great for pleasure or critical listening. I love these for what I do.
