Over the years, different variants of the K240 have garnered a reputation of being the base-level standard when it comes to studio monitoring headphones. Budding audiophiles the world over take their first steps into serious listening with these headphones, and for good reason. Find out why.

The construction is sturdy, the cups are comfortable and completely sit around ears. Sound quality is very very good. The coiled cable is an extremely nice addition. Bass response is very light. Some people may not like this. The semi-open design allows for a lot of leakage, both in and out.

I needed a headphone to play the guitar at night without waking up the family and neighbors. My main criterion is comfort, I can not bear long headphones in general. This is what attracted me to the AKG, I can wear long without it bothers me. It comes with two different pads for comfort.

I've tried many, many, many headphones from $50 to $600. Just to name a few - AKG K702, K701, K271, K171, Koss PRO4AAT, MV-1, Beyerdynamics DT-770, ..... Nevertheless I like these most. Why? Because they're good for everything. Not excellent in every area, but well balanced.

These headphone are awesome, if you don't want to be overpowered with bass these are perfect. They have a crisp sound so much so that I feel like I'm hearing some note's for the first. They are very comfortable to wear for hour's. I would recommend these to anyone.

Given other reviews, I was expecting at least a good product. I am not looking for phenomenal sound, just something reasonable that allows me to listen and not bother other people around me.

If you want to hear music uncolored from its source, these are for you. One of the only products I have purchased about which I can report no negatives.

Comfortable; Great Sound; Lightweight

We see a fair number of AKG headphones here, but rarely models form the Pro side of the business, which is where these K 240 MK IIs come from.

Comfortable; spacious; even delivery; don't leak as much as the fully open ‘phones

Too soft to dig-up the finest details and dynamic nuances; needs a bit more punch
