AKG K-240 MKII 5-stars Reviews

Excellent for mixing.

I've had these Mk IIs and a pair of K240S for many, many years. I've mixed and mastered all of my commercial work on them and never had any rejections or complaints from producers or directors. They may not be the most tasty for listening to music (although I really love their character), especially modern bass heavy music, but they are very flat and detailed, making them perfect in the studio. Some components have broken down over time such as the ear pads and foam, the cable coating has peeled and the AKG logos have fallen off. But even so, they remain wrapped around my head daily and haven't let me down yet. I'd recommend them for general mixing over the more expensive AKG models as those tend to have more of a hyped frequency response.

Great headphones!

Sound great and are pretty well built, also they are very lightweight. I would take 1 point for comfort cause it's not perfect, but for the price it's awesome.

Comfortable headphones with good sound

Great sound

Comfortable - fits well on a large head

Good equipment: two wires, two types of ear pads

Excellent value for money

These are very comfortable, lightweight, and sound very good. Of course, they could sound better but in this price range they are the best I've tried. Very happy with the purchase.

A classic

Inexpensive easy to use the standard in most studios. No complaints.

Good sound for recording, very comfortable.

Quite ok for guitar plugins

Using it mainly for guitar recording through vst and plugins. Quite good and dont have too much to complain. Happy with my purchasing and can recommend for home studios in budget.

Good For Guitar Playing

I bought these as an upgrade from gaming headphones. I mainly use them for playing guitar through my computer and they sound really good for that. They don't sound muddy and they don't really overemphasize any frequencies, so I would say they have a flat eq. The only slight downside is that they could be a bit tighter around the head, but that might just be a me problem.

Good for studio

Not the best isolation for recording with click-track. Definitely more comfortable than HD600. Overall very pleasant feel.

Excellent on a budget

Good open back headphones. I used them for a while on rehearsals, had no issue with them. Comfortable on the head, easy on the ears, everything sounds clean and precise.

Worth companion for a home studio

Bought it for using at home when playing guitar with DAW softwares. I wanted something with a long enough cable and open back design.

This headphone has two cables, which can be used for different occasions. The sound quality, to my usage, which is quite basic, is good enough. I wouldn't expect better at this price and I believe this is worth the money.

In short, it does the job. It is comfortable to wear and sounds good. My only complaint, which I think might not be this exact headphone's fault, is that in warm weather it can be uncomfortable to wear it for longer than 10 minutes.

Headphones for home studio

I really like the headphones because of Over-Ear design, I am able to wear the headphones for hours without any issues. The Semi open back is perfect for studio mixing or if you need to be aware of your surroundings!

The extra 3m cable is added bonus :)

АКГ К-240 MKII

Comfortable. Quality. The sound is great.

Good for monitoring

This is very good headphones for studio use. For monitoring, For Critical listening. I think It is very vintage style headphones, for vintage style music too. Rocomended more for Rock, Metal, Blues and jazz music. For electronic, EDM and other contemporary style, I think, This is not a good choice.

Worth the money!

Bought these to use when i play the guitar in the evenings.

They're better than what i expected, the sound is so clear, tried it on all the different channels on the amp and with different settings on the guitar, it all sounds amazing! They dont totally cut out the background noise,but they do reduce it a little bit, but its not a problem for me. The pads are really comfortable and it comes with an extra set for ppl like me with smaller ears lol. The cable is long enough to be a nice little distance away from the amp.

All in all best headphones ive owned. I would fully recommend them, money well spent!

Great open headphones!

I have a pair of K271 MKII which I have used for well over 3 years now. Therefore, I wanted to get a new pair for the office, as my old Sennheiser HD280s which started crackling and having unbalanced sound.

For one, these are extremely light and are a blessing for all-day usage. I had been mixing with the HD280s for a long time and only with these headphones have I noticed the difference.

I also use monitors for mixing, but having all three options (closed, semi-open and monitors) is a great combination to be able to mix properly in different settings. A great thing about the headphones is that the cable to the actual speakers is detachable, thus after the cable breaks (a very common issue with any type of headphone) the cable can be changed easily, as well as the foam pads of the headphones.

In general these are great quality headphones, very light, great sounding and very adequately priced.

Awesome audio quality.

I love this headphones. It has a neutral sound which is excellent for mixing. This comes with two types of cord.

Outstanding

The headphones sound amazing, extra accessories in the price, value / quality is amazing.

The only comment is that they are hard to carry, but I knew that before I bought them anyway.

my first studio headphones, but I had a chance to compare with some more expenspive ones - didn't hear big difference. Decided to buy semi-open, because i play may guitar mostly through interface, amd cloed ones are making me tired

Great sound and great for the big-headed

The sound is fantastic on these headphones, but the best thing I can say about these really is comfort.

As the large-headed among us will know, headphones can sometimes be a pain and may pinch on either the ear or the skull. These are just a breeze to wear, don't pinch and aren't easily knocked off either.
