AKG K-240 Studio 5-stars Reviews

Great for recording vocals

I had been recording my vocals with closed headphones for years and have been struggling with pitch control on louder pushed vocals. These open-backed and very nutral sounding headphones made it possible to both hear the backing track and both my in-ear and room voice, without any weird disconnect when singing loud. Great value and for me open or semi-open headphones are now a must for recording vocals. Some sound engineers might not like them because there is some bleed but they need to get over themselves

Professional studio sound

Great sound. Very comfortable to use. Nice look.

Very flat, perfect for control. The price is absolutely good for the quality.

Fantastic for the price.

These have a very flat response, and the fact that they are semi-open help out with stereo imaging. Also there's less ear fatigue. Perhaps not the most suitable for "fun" music listening, though it really depends on what you want from your headphones. These, coupled with something other than your integrated laptop sound card do give a proper rendition of whatever you are listening to. You will definitely feel the difference between low and high bit rate sound. Overall, enought has been said about these headphones where I really don't have anything new to add, they're good. Only thing I wish was different was that they weren't so relatively plasticky feeling.

Amazing headphones!

There is not a lot to say: inexpensive, comfortable, high quality and good looking. I absolutely recommend these headphones.

Comfortable

Really comfortable and quality headset, recommended :-)

Premium feel and wide soundstage.

I have read many reviews online as I was researching for a long time to buy the best quality 32 Ohm headphones I could find for the best value for money ratio. I am quite impressed with the audio quality as well as the comfortable ear cushions. I have enjoyed various genres of music with them such as soundtracks, classical music, choral music, pop, and classic rock. I will also use them as studio headphones in the future as I want to begin setting up my composing home studio and I am very excited to have them in my arsenal. The build quality feels of higher level than the price.

I would recommend them, they are well known, well-trusted studio headphones, you can't really go wrong with them only if you intend to use them as on-the-road headphones, being semi-open you might have problems if you enter a library or a very quiet place like a silent train wagon. But still someone needs to come close to you to really be able to hear the music and be distracted.

My first choice and the best

I can easily and real quick mix my songs and with a very accurate sound

Great headphones !

Really nice sound,also you can wear them for long periods of time without any discomfort! would highly recommend. They look good as well, it's a really good thing that you can replace the cable if needed.

the best cheapest headphone you can buy

Looking for an inexpensive, reliable, comfortable headphone for your home studio? The K-240 will not disappoint you, after few months of use I am still satisfied with their construction and quality, so confortable you will forget you have them on. Great stuff!

Great headset

If you need a comfortable and good headset with excellent sound, this is it.

Nice headphone for reference

I've bought this headphone as complimentary to the MKII. I found that this headphone good enough to get my job done. Also I can use this headphone for hours even for normal usage.

Highly recommended.

Classic headphones

I've been using these headphones for five years now. They never let me down. I bought them because I heard engineers used exactly these headphones to mix many classic albums.

These are the only pro level headphones I ever used, so my experience is limited. To me, they sound flat, with no bass or treble enhancements. They are half open, not isolating, so the sound still goes out into the room, and the sound of the room goes in. To me this works, but if you want sound isolation, maybe look elsewhere. I use them for bass guitar, and the low end seems properly reproduced to me. Very sturdy, very comfortable headphones. Recommended.

Highly Recommended

I use it to do simple mixing (not a sound engineer) and for my keyboard. The sound is really clear. I like the bass is not overwhelming. Definitely worth the price!

Great sound!

The sound is great! Perfect for mixing!

Du pro à prix mini

D'accord, le K-240 Studio ne remplacera pas un casque professionnel, beaucoup plus chère. Sa (haute qualité) ne le surpassera pas, mais le prix en est bien inférieur.

Par contre si vous cherchez un casque de bonne qualité, plutôt neutre (quoique avec peu de basses), d'une bonne dynamique et un petit prix, il est fait pour vous. Il est confortable, son câble est amovible, la musicalité est belle. Il semble solide (mais comme je suis plutôt soigneux, je n'ai pas testé). Et en plus je le trouve joli.

Un must have ...

Using for playing bass. Nice semi-open headphones.

You can hear music from your speakers while practicing, which is pretty convenient.

Nice Headphones for the price!

This is my second purchase of the same headphones for second set up. They sound great and build well, I use them mously with my Mac when editing videos and with AKAI mini when i dont want to disturb others in the house, for the price they sell I could not find better. Plus good bonus they come with screw in 6.3 mm jack adaptor. Easy detacheble 3m cable with mini xlr, for me it is more then enough. Off course they can't compare with beasts like Sennheiser HD-650, but they for sure the winner at their price range, also they look like they much more expensive piece of equipment.

The bang for the $.

Very comfortable and accurate.

I am using these for years in the studio, they work and feel good.

Can't go wrong with them and if you brake the ear pads you can replace them cheap. This is a good product.

Great but to bassy

Overall a great pair. So my ears are way to bassy out of the box, but managed to EQ that.

Got it plugged into a boss katana 100w mk2 and they work great.
