The AKG K240 Studio is right at home in the studio, but also makes a welcome addition to practice session rooms. Alternatively, if you're a fan of the aesthetics and overall design, it's an option for listening on the go.

The AKG K 240 Studio headphones have been a part of my set up for 2 years now and they are still going strong. I have not had any problems with them from the day that I purchased them and they have been a joy to work with.

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.

great great thats all I can say. now I realize that if you spend more then you get more. I have been buying cheap headphones but they do not compare to these at all. buy it the only thing I have to say is that the cord is too short for me.

clear sound; true sound

cord length

I use these headphones for monitoring and mastering field recordings at home. They are comfortable. They don't exert excessive pressure on the head and the headband is designed to keep them seated right.

Reliability

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.

The K240S is an odd beast. It's not hi-fi by any means. The bass is big, boomy, and not particularly well-extended. The highs are somewhat recessed and don't convey a whole lot of detail. The sound is akin to a fat black woman shaking her booty on the dance floor. Not a lot of refinement...
