AKG K-240 MKII 5-stars Reviews

Superb studio headphones

Satisfied customer. This classic has become even better in the MKII version. If you're looking for a flat, accurate sound, without modifications - this is the pair to go with.

Perfect for a home studio, especially when working on mixes that require to hear the sound as flat as possible. Mids are superb, just be careful with the bass range (your ear gets used to it.)

The build quality is good as expected for that price range. I find those to be very comfortable, even after an hour of work.

Great homestudio headphone

I bought these for my homestudio project. They fit very nice, sounds is pretty good. No complaints up till now.

Sehr komfortabel

und klingt fabelhaft. Wirkt auch hochwertig verarbeitet. Nichts zu beanstaden!

Perfect headphones to play the guitar quietly and even listen to music

Use:

Bought this to start playing electric guitar again after a 15 year break. I want to play quietly without annoying my neighbors considering I play pretty badly.

Pros:

Honestly, after so many years only listening to music with very cheap headphones (or with my work headset), I completely rediscovered how pleasant it is to listen to music for real. Like a brand new world (or rather forgotten one). Sound is very clear and precise, really like it. Headphone is open but honestly, you don't hear that much out of the headphones. For the price, this is crazy quality I think.

Cons:

This is bulky but this is studio headphones. Not meant to walk outside connected to your mobile.

Simply great

First of all the feel incredible, it's like wearing nothing in terms of weight. The clarity of the sound is really good.For anyone looking for solid studio headphones this is a recommend if they don't want to spend too much money.

Nice sound quality and good finishing.

Very good quality for the money

Good sound and good quality for very good price, and comfort is top notch especially with the velour ear pads

Best headphones in their price range

If you want a flat and precise sound reproduction at a low price, these are the headphones for you. Powerful and clear.

Moreover, they are super comfortable! I have big ears and I thought that the large pads could be a nuisance, but no, even after an hour of continuous use I feel no itching at all!

In general terms, they sound very good. Above all, they are very well defined. Someone who needs to hear the bass very loud, will not have it with these headphones. However, this is why you get a much less colorful and above all, more accurate mix.

Quality price is a strong point here.

Best headphones!

Using it with amp for nighttime playing and it is perfect. Very good sound isolation and clarity of sound. Also very light and comfortable, will forget that you are wearing them.

Great quality headphones for the price!

Bought these for use with my audio interface and a guitar.

Pros:

- Sound is relatively flat so great for those who don't want the sound to be too coloured.

- Comes with two sets of cables and velour pads. This is similar to the original AKG K240 and for a price difference of around $5 it is a steal.

- Build quality is decent for the price

Cons

- Not for bassheads. If you are looking for prominent bass then this is not for you.

- Very light, which may not exactly give the feeling of being sturdy.

All in all, this is a bang for the buck headphone! Would buy it again in a heartbeat!

top quality of audio and build

I bought the MKII primarily for my bass guitar practice, either connected to the amp, or to monitor via the DI.

Fantastic sound quality, and solid sturdy construction (I use them at home, so this is a nice to have edition for me). design is also very foo, and the soft/ velvet ear pads are a delight to wear

Excellent for the money

Intended to use it for silent guitar practice. I thought it was absolutely great for the money, but I was looking for slightly better headphones which do justice to the thick lows of specifically guitar music, and the top end was a bit harsh. I found it wasn't able to deal with treble and presence controls too well. To be expected for the money, but should be noted. I ultimately returned mine. Would still recommend it on a budget though, as I spent 5x as much before I was satisfied.

Great headphones

I just bought my 3rd pair because these are my favorite headphones. Sound quality is very good and also the fit is great. Use them for hours without painfull ears.

5 stars all the way

My second pair to purchase, I prefer the colour of the original but that's not relevant when rating a product! Highly recommend

Very Happy

Affordable price, I practice bass through it and they sound good.

Most importantly they are extremely comfortable (even with glasses), and I can (and do) keep them on for hours and hours.

I guess my neighbourhoods are happy too.

I bought the headphones mainly to use them when I play the piano at night and to play guitar via plugins. The sound is very balanced and clear.

The build quality could be improved, but they seem sturdy enough for home use.

For the price they're great, highly recommended.

Pretty nice headphones for the price.

I purchased these to replace a pair of Superlux HD681 EVO that suddenly died (developed some phasing issues cancelling most frequencies.)

My first impression of the AKG K240 MKII was an awful, boxy, low-mid heavy sound... silly me, I just forgot that these are brand new and will need some "burning" time. So after a day or two they revealed the hidden gem inside - pretty clean and detailed sound, with very good panoramic stage. I did as a test 10 mixes of theatrical music and they translated pretty well on the theater sound system, just slightly bass frequencies heavy.

The build quality is good (they survived the first fall from my work desk) and ergonomically they are great - very lightweight, pretty flexible, big enough (I got a big head, yeah) and the earcups are going around the whole ear just as I prefer.

Overall, after two weeks of using AKG K240 MKII, I am pretty satisfied with my purchase and can definitely recommend them if you are looking for studio grade headphones in that price range.

In love

The sound is amazing! The fit and the quality is very good.

I can wear it for hours

Classic headphones that never fails.

I have headphones from all the major brands, but the I use the series model for more then 20 years, never let me down, sound, build quality, another pair of ear pads and two kinds of cables.
