AKG K-240 Studio Reviews

Great sound with guitar proccessor

I bought this product to use with my guitar processor Helix. I found the sound with very natural and tasty. Soi i definetely recommend it if you have a volume problem especially in nights.

Great Buy

Those headphones are being used to produce music. And they do a great job.

Pros: Price+quality, comfort, it's possible to work for a longer period without fatigue to your ears, because they are halve open.

Cons: Although they are not very flat. the highs are a bit on the sharp side and the lows are weaker. But those little imperfection can be compensated with the right eq settings. Or sonarworks.

Overall a great Buy and worth every penny.

Very comfortable and not tiring

Purchase Reason:

I bought these headphones because there were already many friends I knew who would always recommended me these headphones every time I asked which one should I buy.

Goal:

I have been using these AKG K240 for over a year, constantly, and my intention with them since the beginning was and is to mix and master my projects and various works that I am having. I was very happy to have bought these ones because they are so worth the price which is very affordable.

Comfort:

These headphones sound great and are not tiring to hear for hours on end because they are very comfortable and both the outside and inside cushions are very soft and this is crucial for musicians and sound technicians that want to work without getting frustated after using it.

Sound:

What immediately caught my attention on these headphones was that when listening to music, the clarity of all the songs I listened to was very prominent. Low end not exaggerated, and very well defined mediums and highs. Whether listening to acoustic music down to metal, the clarity and detail are all very well present in these headphones.

And getting it all for less than 100 € is very good deal.

Conclusion:

I conclude that these are the headphones that I use most, whether for leisure and even for mixing and mastering. They are very comfortable and I can stay with them for hours on end and not get tired.

There is nothing I didn't like about these headphones, they're simply amazing.

Amazing Sound

It is exactly real headphone that I need it while producing beats and doing mastering in order to control balance.

Studio standard headphones

It sounds great. A little boomy, but that's normal with headphones I suppose.

I has a clear sound and it feels very comfortable on the head. The only flaw is that it is a little clunky to take outside and if feels a little flimsy.

Best of the price range

AKG K-240 Studio

I use these headphones every day at home. I wouldn't use them to go around, as they are a bit big. They are comfortable, soft, enough space for the ears. The sound quality is good, although the volume is lower than other headphones of the same type. So all in all they are good headphones, but once they break, I won't be buying them again.

Really nice sound

Very happy with the sound. A little heavy after a couple of hours of use, but not a deal breaker.

Good but not loud enough !!

Very decent sound but i thought it is not loud enough for me!

ping pong

Im more about 3 years guarantee which is only a joke.Used this headphones ocasionally but still after almost 3 years detachable cabel should be replaced cause one chanell is not functioning properly.Customer service is terrible.Ignorance to requests or total incompetence on a live chat.Very disapointing experience.Headphone are quite ok.Used in many fancy recording studios by leading musicians

Guitar practice

I bought this one for practicing quietly with my guitar. It's perfect for that.

On the plus side, listening to music through my phone (spotify) with the headphones is excellent. The first song i put on was "Welcome To the Jungle" and i heard parts of the song that I had never heard before.

A Studio Standard for a Reason

These are really just great all-around headphones, and at this price, they're very accessible. I mostly bought them because they have nearly a completely opposite sonic representation that the DT 770s, so if I'm ever questioning the quality of a mix that I'm working on I can switch between the two to make sure everything is well-represented in the mix.

In addition to being great in the studio, they can also just be great for listening. There's something magical going on around the mids in these cans and it can give you a completely new perspective on music that you thought you knew!

Having worked with 770s for a while, I was constantly battling ear-fatigue. After I added the K-240s to my toolbox, I was able to mix for longer periods of time without feeling completely washed out. They also work fantastically at low volumes, which can be a lifesaver.

I genuinely don't have much to say that's negative about these headphones. If you're looking for something to cancel out sound and thump your ears off with bass and be super crispy, then these simply aren't for you.

I won't ever work on a project without these again. Must-have headphones.

Great studio headphones

I have already bought several ones over the years. Excellent (flat) sound.

Really great headphones

I bought these headphones because I wanted some good "studio headphones" to track drums but I have to say that I didn't find them that good for that task. So I began using them to reference my mixes along with the studio monitors and an hi-fi stereo system, after a lot of listening on them I have to say that they are simply perfect for this task. Really happy with them!!!

Very good.

You can trust them to configure the frequency to sound your songs correctly on all playback systems but for the volume levels in the final mix it's better to use somes speakers.

Great value headphones

I needed headphones for home use as my current ones were damaged.

I decided on these ones as other reviews were good. So far I am really pleased with them. They have a decent flat sound for monitoring/recording. Good long cable and very well built.

My only issue is that they don’t sit as comfortable on my head as other brands of headphones. They are lacking in adjustable features but for me it’s not a deal breaker.

this wouldn’t stop me for recommending them to you to use.

I hope this was helpful to someone.

Fantastic Headphones

Fantastic Headphones, clear sound, lightweight, nice look. I use these headphones every day, both for composing, mixing & tracking. I can wear them all day every day for weeks and weeks without any sort of fatigue, either from a sonic perspective, or from the physical weight / shape of the headphones.

Pretty good.

They are very good. I bought them to use at home. For that purpose they are more than enough and the price to quality ration is very good too.

Good Headphones

These headphones get used in my studio every day, they give good high quality audio and are relatively comfortable, I gave comfort a 4 because I have other headphones that are more so.

My advice if you have a home studio and want some studio headphones but like having a little extra sound from the room be able to enter for recording purposes, these will do the job great!

Very good

Good linear headphones

Pros : One of the most affordable studio headphones that will give you a good stereo image of your mixes. Very good mids/highs.

Cons: none so far

You can't go wrong with these.

Incredible Value

These headphones have an astounding frequency range and I've been using them for producing for about 3 years now. They're quite comfortable however after extended periods of use the leather can make you sweat a little.

The balance between the different frequencies is brilliant and unlike many of today's commercial consumer and even some studio headphones - the bass response isn't overpowering. Everything has it's own space in a well made mix while wearing these. Once I got them I put on Bitches Brew by Miles Davis because of how intricate the mix is (3 pianos, 2 hard panned left and right, one down the centre, 2 drummers hard panned left and right plus the normal jazz setup) and I was blown away. It totally changed my perception of the album.

These are brilliant for listening, for producing, mixing, sound design, and anything else that requires hi fidelity sound. They are pretty much noiseless on their own which gives the sound clarity as opposed to being drowned out by a hiss or high pitched ringing in the case of noise cancelling headphones. Beware however, they don't have great isolation or volume because they are open backed. I highly recommend these.
