AKG K-240 MKII 4-stars Reviews

Nice pair

Great headphones for the price. Lightweight and comfortable. has spare earcups and coiled cables.

The material feels cheap, but the sound is really good for the price

Overall a good headphone

Overall a solid choice if you are in the market for cheapish headphones.

They can sometimes have a small bit of crackling on the high end on some songs.

Been using AKGs for 40 years - used the old K60 and K160s as a sound engineer for many years. These carry on the tradition. My only complaint is that the headband could do with being longer - I have a big head! Very analytical and clear sound - perfect for monitoring.

Reasonably priced

I've used these headphones both for mixing and mastering, as well as just listening to music on my phone or computer. Comes with two cables, so that's handy. Could be a bit more comfortable, but the sound is great so I don't mind it one bit.

Very Good for the price

First Headphones i Bought for mixing and i couldn't be happier.

Very comfortable, and good sound, but they could have a better response on the subs.

They are quality!

WOW

great sound, very flat and sounds wide, go loud! and no distortion/coloration, these are meant for mixing/mastering purposes.

They are quality,

Ah, AKG

To preface this, I am no expert in "high end super awesome headphones" (then again, you wouldn't be looking at these headphones for that) - however, here is my two cents:

I have replaced these with Beyerdynamic 770 Pro 80 Ohm and the difference in sound is simply staggering.

AKG's are very very flat - it is not even dependent on the mix, the bass is simply lacking - they are open headphones, so that is to be expected.

What you should also expect is a lot of sound leaking (again, expected), but don't think you can blaze some music late at night. These do get loud, but others in your household will be able to hear it.

Were it not for 770's, I would be using these still as they are very good at guitar tracking/playing, BUT - not very great in overall enjoyment of the music (well, 770's are better in my opinion).

The quality seems okay, they're not bulletproof, but they can survive a fall from the desk.

This headphones are good

good sound quality, very good fabrication and very comforting I recommend it

Good value headphones

I was searching for good open headphones, but they tend to be quite expensive, so I tried this model. They sound good, clear, open, the highs are not too harsh and the image is good. Bass are there, but they are not too prominent and not too articulate.

Build quality seems ok, let's see how long they will last.

The coiled cable is nice and handy if you use them in tiny spaces.

Their main problem is the pads. The pleather ones are comfortable but this headphones sounds best with the velour, which are terrible and way too stiff. I had to buy other companies velour pads (and foam net to re-balance the highs), so keep this in mind if you want to use the velour pads.

Overall, I'm satisfied!

pretty decent headphones for this price, the only thing i dont like is the comfort. If u use it for like 5 hours, your ears will probably hurt hahah, its good to know before ordering :)

Recomended

Its very good. The sound is clear. Its very comfortable to wear. It seems solid. The cable is detachable. You have short and long one. Very good. Highly recommended.

Good value for money

Clearly, these studio headphones are on the affordable side of the market. As such, they do not disappoint. They have a fairly good and balanced sound and reasonably good build quality. They can be used for general listening, instrument practice and some studio work, but do not expect performance comparable to headphones costing 10 or 20 times more.

As a successor to the legendary AKG K240M from the Seventies which I used for HiFi listening, this MkII is a very worthy replacement. Strongly recommended for bass lovers like me.

You won't go wrong here

Solid headphone, well built, Choice of cables and muffs included. Very clear for mids and highs, not bass boomers which suits my taste.

Use them for monitoring jams and home recording sessions.

I've stood on them a few times - not a problem so far, bought them 3 months ago and they get daily use.

Update August 19th 2019: Great headphones, you ca't go wrong

Great for instruments & producing

These headphones are world-wide renowned for being honest and faithful in their music reproduction. Particularly fantastic for classical instruments such as the piano, they are also great for music production because of their flat frequency response. Their only downside is 1) comfort was not the highest priority and 2) I own a pair of vintage Sextett K240's, and while requiring a LOT more power to be driven, they sounded a little wider and more beautiful for lack of words. The current/modern ones sound a little more boring but again, for studio work that might be exactly what you need.

Very good headphones

These headphones are very transparent. I am using them with my Kemper and I can say that they do a very good job at translating the accuracy of the different rigs.

They are very comfortable and they come with extra ear pads (with different texture) and an extra cable.

Highly recommended for studio monitoring or anyone who is using a Kemper and wants good quality headphones for a decent price.

Very good Headphones

I've bought the K-240 MKII mainly for mixing. The sound quality is great and very flat sound. I trust myself mixing with them. It has lower volume than my other heaphones so I have to increase the general volume a bit. Build quality is good and detachable cable is a plus! Very comfortable.
