AKG K240 MKII Studio Headphones

I use this product for mixdowns and tracking. Bought It new under 100. Highs are clear and slightly colored, but the lows are a bit low so mix downs will be bass heavy so learn your headphones. over all I use them with Mackie HM-4 Headphone Amplifier. Recommended

They deliver great sound for the price range, however, they are not comfy at all, and they feel cheap, i will return them and exchange em for higher-end beyers

I've used AKG headphones for years, finally needed to replace, but this model was a big disappointment. Lightweight, but not particularly comfortable. I don't need headphones to listen to casual music, I need them for tracking and mixing music that I compose on my music interface. It didn't take long to evaluate, the sound quality just wasn't good, but more important, just not accurate enough for mixing the correct EQ, sound levels, etc.

Save your money and buy the regular studio version. They're exactly the same as the studio version except in a new color. The only difference is these come with Cheap velour pads and extra AKG stickers. Not worth the price mark up.

I needed a new pair of headphones and was on a budget. I was looking at the Beyerdynamic DT770 that are in the same price range and was ultimately drawn to the velvet earpads. After additional research, recommendation after recommendation said to go with these instead. Little did I know that these came with replacement velvet earpads in the box so I pulled the trigger. Man was I glad I did. They sound amazing! Very open and airy sound, clear and flat (no added boost in any frequency range) that I could tell. They are also lightweight compared to the two pairs of Senheiser HD280 that I have finally replaced. I no longer have an isolated private studio so mixing on monitors late at night is not allowed with two young kids. I haven't mixed on these yet but I am so looking forward to it and the outcome.

As Mike said there is a reason that these headphones are used in recording studios. That reason is, because they are really lightweight, extremely durable, and overall just great. I have had these headphones and they were actually given to me by my dad bout 2-3 years back (all orignal parts btw) and they are still holding up just fine. Also, between your head and the foam piece, there is a gap that allows you to hear everything around you too. So, overall great headphones, and definitely worth the price (even though they were not that much when my dad bought them.)
