K-240 Studio : Best for recording vocals

3 years ago

I use this for monitoring vocals and silent practicing piano and bass.

The semi-open construction really excels on vocal takes as the singer can hear his/her own voice but doesn't bleed to much to the microphone.

The construction is solid, but a thicker, spiraling cable would be preferable.

Wearing comfort is excellent.

Soundwise, it has detailed midrange and laid back highs, perfect for vocals and long time listening without fatigue. Bass, however is a bit lifeless, lack of details. So I switched to ATH-50x from Audio Technika while playing bass.

It is a good workhorse for the money, especially for those who dislike the isolation that closed headphones offer.
