AKG

collapse expand iconDescription

AKG's K240 Studio headphones are designed for serious musicians and audio engineers who demand both accuracy and comfort. With a semi-open-back design, these headphones provide the spacious, natural sound of open-back cans along with the acoustical isolation of closed-back models. This innovative design incorporates Varimotion 30mm dynamic transducers that deliver a wide frequency range and highly accurate response. The low-impedance drivers ensure these headphones perform with clarity and detail even at low volumes, allowing for accurate monitoring at any level.

Hear Every Nuance in Your Mix

The K240 Studio headphones are ideal for critical listening applications like mixing, mastering and overdubbing. Their semi-open design creates an open, airy sound with precise stereo imaging, allowing you to hear subtle details in your tracks. The premium transducers and acoustic tuning provide a transparent, balanced frequency response so you can make mix decisions with confidence. For the ultimate in accuracy, turn to the K240 Studio headphones.

Built to Handle Professional Demands

AKG constructed these headphones to meet the needs of audio professionals. The circumaural ear pads are generously padded for comfort during long sessions, while the self-adjusting padded headband provides a secure yet comfortable fit. The cables are detachable and replaceable, ensuring these headphones will provide years of service. All components are crafted with the utmost care and attention to detail.

Customizable for Your Needs

With their replaceable cables and earpads, the K240 Studio headphones are highly customizable to suit your needs and preferences. The included coiled cable is 10' long, providing ample slack for moving around a studio. For more mobility, swap in an optional straight cable. The velour earpads provide excellent comfort and acoustic seal, but leatherette pads are also available for a different feel. Make these professional studio headphones uniquely your own.

I agree with the last comment. These headphones are clear, with great bass response. Very comfortable on the ears for long mixing sessions. Plus I'm on my second cord. Just order a new one unclip the old and snap on the new. Well worth the money.

Good Headphones

Without sacrificing low tone capability these AKG's do the trick. We're recording bass guitar and it sounds great. I've used these for hip hop projects and these are perfect. For $99 no more, buy a set.

    The clarity and details are great. The only issue is that these headphones require more gain from amp or pre-amp.

    I bought these for my electric drum set...but the noise of the hit hat / crash "tapping" bled through so much that it ruin the experience of playing. That is, I could hear the base drum hammer more than I could hear the base drum itself. Not great as a low-end headset IMO.

  • Great headphones. Second pair.

    Purchased these to replace an older pair. Really like being able to replace the whole cable instead of having to solder a new end on them. These will mainly be used to mix in my home project studio. Great low end, maybe it's the open design. The mini TRS to quarter adapter is very handy to use both in the studio and with iPhones and ipads.

    I've just bought a new Fender bass and amp from GC. Would these headphones be good for a new bass player using them only for home practice or no environmental noise concerns, or would something with more bass response be better?
