AKG K-240 Studio Reviews

standard studio headphones

they're not so comfortable but works fine for a normal session in studio

Amazing quality for the price

Bought 5 of these for my podcasting studio. They're super comfortable, the sound is good, not great, but at this price range it's tough to beat.

good home studio headphones

good headphones for the price, of course not in the same range as the "studio classics" beyerdynamic dt 770 pro

Great

Aound good and they are very light. I use them for voiceover editing

Brilliant

I use these for over-ear monitors while playing my electric kit and also when in a band setting on an acoustic drumkit. Work great in both scenarios

For this price range its top

You cant get no better studio headphone reference at this money with any other headphone of the market. I have 2 k240 and one k240 mkii. Totally worth every penny.

Great affordable headphones

The headphones are amazing and are definitely worth the money but good luck if you have long hair because it sometimes gets stuck in the openings

Nice

Really wide field and really good comfort at an amazing price.

Very good for its price

Used to have various headsets for several reasons and compare to them this studio headphones are very good , but not the best. At least their material is very confortable and the sound quality is fair when you want to practise with your drumset.

Great for listening not recording

Spreads the sound to much out so the mic captures everything

Very good

Not for recording becouse you will have bleed . Amazing to reference a mix

Ok-ish for the price

Bass response is weak. Impotent. I’m new to studio headphones though. Maybe it’s supposed to be so weak - maybe what I call weak, more competent people call flat. My reference point is Bose QC35 and Airpods 2nd gen. I don’t any other studio headphones to compare AKG 240 to.

Perfect!!!

Perfect studio headphones!!! The quality is superb!!!

high quality headphones

K240 studio keeps the quality of AKG as expected. I prefer AKG products and have used this product for years. I have to say, it is a quite nice product which I probably rate 5 stars, if I did not purchase K271MKII together with it. It is not about the looks or the sound of both, but I just love K271 more.

Good headphones for the price

Doesn’t cancel the outer sound but the quality is above average

Mediocre headphones

I expected more, especially after reading reviews here and there. The reality is that the headphones are mediocre. The lack of low frequencies is obvious, making the overall sound look flat, even though the highs sound right. They are also not very comfy and your ears get hot soon.

The open design does not excuse the sound quality as I also have Audio Technica ATH AVA400 which is way-way better.

Great value for money !!

I use them at home to play my electric guitar. It was immediately love: the headphones are well made and comfortable to wear,the most important thing is the sound they reproduce is neutral, what you play returns exactly in the headphone. The other headphones I had tried changed the sound in tone and boost. I recommend them to everyone. Great value for money !!

Accurate sound monitoring

I use these primarily with my Yamaha THR 30II guitar amp. The sound quality coming through these headphones is equivalent or better to that produced by the amp speakers which is excellent. Reproduces the expected sound with great definition and nuance not heard directly through the source without any unwanted distortion.

The self adjusting headband and large ear covers make wearing these headphones for long sessions ( listening or playing) a pleasure.

Great product and performance for the price

This is a great headphone especially recommended for vocal recordings. Yes its not a closed headphone but vocal recordings are better when you hear yourself and the little bleed can be taken care of later in the mix. I also have closed headphones but was having difficulty during vocal recordings taking one ear off to hear my self but this semiopen design solved the problem..

Best for recording vocals

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.
