AKG D5 Microphone
There are plenty of hand-held dynamic vocal microphones available in the world, and sometimes it seems as though microphone technology has advanced as far as it can. But every once in a while an innovator will make an improvement that advances the technology to a new level.
Great headphones all-around, solid construction!
Note: this review will be a bit oriented as a comparison with the AD700 considering that it is a reference in its class and that is the only other decent headphones I've owned.
AKG K240 Semi Open Studio Headphones
I've used the AKG K240S headphones for a few years now and I remain mystified at all the rave reviews here on Amazon. My experience may be different than some reviews, so I'll explain my approach. I do sound art, composition/production, and I listen for fun.
The look and the build quality of these headphones are great. They have good bass and are easy to drive. Lacking a little in the mids but nothing like the tri-ports.
K240DF Studio Monitor Headphones
I originally bought a set of 4 K240df headsets for my studio 10 years ago and through all of the abuse that goes on in a rental studio they are all still working. The thin cable is a lot more durable than it looks.

AKG K-240 Studio vs. K-240 Monitor
The AKG K-240 Monitor is the classic studio monitor model, with an impedance of 600 Ohms (sensitivit- Lightweight
- rugged
- clear-sounding
- 55-Ohm impedance compatible with portable players
- Somewhat aggressive-sounding at times (curable with EQ)
- bass exaggeration (curable with EQ)
Nearly flawless, perfect for many situations, with a few exceptions.
The AKG K240 Studio Monitor headphones are a pair that every musician, recording hobbyist and lover of sound and music owes themelves to try. They produce a soundfield much broader, accurate and detailed than many headphones sold at this price, and are incredibly durable and comfortable to wear.
AKG K240 Studio Headphones
The first thing I liked/noticed was the appearance of these headphones, they look like retro studio headphones. They sound really clear and you can hear sounds that you can't in other headphones. Also seem kind of too flexible but after a few months of using they haven't came close to breaking.
Sounds great on vocals
Great sound on vocals, if only that on/off switch was recessed like the SM58, this would be the perfect mic. It's a pain to turn on/off.
