AKG K 240 Semi-Open Studio Headphones

The price was so much lower than everyone else's that I almost didn't dare buy it. It turns out that it's the real deal! I've owned a couple of these headphones throughout the decades and it's my favorite for editing music.

my 2nd pair. not that the first pair was bad they still work good. I just wanted two , one for a friend. The AKG 240 is a steel, for the cost.

I was insecure about going semi-open or closed. I like to listen the sound quality over high volume and bass! Perfect fit!! worth 10 times what I paid for these.

I bought them last week & the package came in 2 days. I use these headphones for mix n mastering. The wire also works for the k240 MKII headphones. Will probably buy a new pair of the MKII's. THANK YOU AKG FOR SUCH A GREAT PRODUCT AT SUCH A GREAT PRICE.

Purchased these a week ago to replace a pair of other headphones that had come to the end of their useful life. I owned the original model way back in the 1980s and thought that the new MK-II model would be worth a try. Compared to what these replace, the bass seemed rather too full, but I listened to some old recordings by Grace Jones and Robert Palmer and Steely Dan, to be sure that all was okay. Very surprised and impressed with the level of accessories that these phones come with: Spare lead and ear cushions, along with the 1/4" adapter. Also appreciate the light weight and the comfortable feel. An insignificant amount of acoustical leakage from the semi-closed design.

Just received my AKG K240 headphones. Very imprese. Hearing sounds in my music I have not heard before. AKG makes the best headphones, I am convinced!

I use these headphones for mix n mastering. The wire they come with also works for the K240 MKII headphones as well.

Great. Bought them years ago, still got them. I like AKG, they're the best. Good sound, clean, good product reliability. Comfy. They look nice.

I bought these headphones back in April of 2014 from Sweetwater. After 3 years of use they're still going strong. I can happily say that I have had no issues with these what-so-ever. My favorite thing about these headphones is how comfortable they are. While I am not a musical professional, I spend every day at the PC working on programming and tech-art while listening to music and communicating with co-workers. They're lightweight and semi-open ear which allows me to feel almost as if I'm not wearing headphones at all. This allows me to remain aware of my work environment while enjoying high quality sound. Thanks AKG for creating a quality product.

They are easy to use, comfortable. Audio is a little washed out but that is not a problem for me. I use them to cutoff my speaker system while recording self in Mixpad. Don't need a super pair like Bose for that.
