The 'integrated semi-open air' design incorporates a highly accurate dynamic transducer, and an acoustically tuned venting structure behind the element produces a naturally open sound quality. The circumaural (around-the-ear) pads are designed for hours of wearing comfort, while the steel-cable, self-adjusting headband construction and single-sided professional quality audio interconnect ensure extended reliability in demanding professional studio applications. Proven, popular, excellent - New, improved and even better. Made in China. The item includes the OFC screw type cable.

    From the Manufacturer

    The AKG K 240 Studio is an update of the "classic" AKG K 240 Monitor. The new K 240 Studio delivers even wider dynamic range and higher sensitivity than its well-known and widely-used predecessor. The secret to the semi-open K 240 Studio's sound quality is the new XXL transducers in acoustically tuned vented enclosures with circumaural (around the ear) pads. The circumaural pads envelope your ears nicely and reward you with smooth, solid bass and well-balanced, articulate mids and highs.

    Founded in Vienna, Austria in 1947, AKG has built a legendary reputation in the professional audio industry for products that perform flawlessly. The reputation of AKG and its celebrated quality are built on more than 55 years of experience, incredible design, meticulous craftsmanship and a clear understanding of what truly sounds right. AKG introduced the K 140 in 1974 and the K 240 Monitor in 1975, which became the most widely used headphones in recording studios and broadcast facilities worldwide. Generations of musicians and audio engineers use these AKG products to create great mixes, hit songs and albums cherished by millions around the world. The new AKG Professional Studio headphones carry on the tradition of these audio tools and are a sound investment that will pay handsome returns with years of flawless sonic performance for professional recording engineers and demanding users of high quality home or portable audio equipment.

    Delivers solid bass and well-balanced mids and highs
    XXL Transducers with Varimotion Diaphragm

    The new XXL transducers use AKG's patented Varimotion diaphragm to ensure extremely accurate response at any listening level. This technology creates a diaphragm that is thinner, more elastic toward the outside edges for more powerful bass response and thicker, less resonant in the center for pure, accurate mids and clear, detailed highs. The large size of the transducers makes the overall sound more life-like and three-dimensional to capture the emotional and sonic content of your soundtracks.

    Gimbal-Type Suspension

    To ensure your listening comfort, AKG Professional Studio headphones utilize a self-adjusting headband with a flexible steel structure to deliver optimum fit for your headphones without any fiddling. The structure is flexible, yet strong enough to allow bending for single ear use and is durable enough to withstand rough handling. A gimbal-type suspension ensures the earcups of all AKG Professional Studio models will conform to the shape and size of your ears without pressing on them for hours of fatigue-free, comfortable listening.

    Wear Them As You Like

    Rugged construction, a non-twisting headband, and powerful sound allow you to use your headphones on a single ear only or wear them in any other way you may prefer. AKG Professional Studio headphones are ideal for DJ and live sound use because they are durable enough to withstand the roughest kind of handling during transport or on stage.

    Detachable Cable with Mini XLR Connector

    The new AKG Professional Studio headphones utilize a detachable input cable for easy replacement if ever necessary. The cable and headphones use mini XLR connectors for perfect contact and secure mechanical connection. The cable is made of 99.99% oxygen-free copper and has gold plated plugs on both ends including the screw-on 1/8" to 1/4" stereo jack adapter for maximum signal transfer.

    Perfect for Portable Audio

    You need good quality audio for all your listening--including computer, minidisc, portable CD or DAT player--as well as in the studio. Owing to their high sensitivity and wide dynamic range, the AKG Professional Series headphones are efficient enough to be used with these lower level output sources and still deliver the high definition sound you need when working in the studio or on stage. The excellent workmanship AKG headphones are known for and high quality components ensure loss-free transmission and reproduction of high-resolution signals from all types of digital audio sources.

    Customers like the sound quality of the headphones. They mention that the bass is deep and well-defined, not artificially boosted. They also appreciate the good volume and flat frequency response. The guitar is pronounced and you can hear your enemy very clearly in fps shooters. However, the headphones are open so there is no noise cancelation, so you can still hear normal speech around you.

    "...So first things first the sound is very neutral which is something I look for in studio grade phones. No bass boosting or extra crystal in the highs...." Read more

    "...Its so fluffy! And made the sound a bit more roomier, but also less punchy, and less pronounced, because the little speakers are further away from..." Read more

    "...The sound quality was very good. My main issue was the fact the earpads and speakers have a very large diameter and did not fit snug on my ears...." Read more

    "...Not great for stuff with an uncontrolled soundtrack, but excellent for well-produced music, and a real value for the price." Read more

    "The short and sweet of these phones is they are a really solid cheap option for studio grade flat response phones that are well worth the money and..." Read more

    560 customers mention473 positive87 negative

    475 customers mention430 positive45 negative

    Customers appreciate the headphones' clarity. They say the soundscape is extremely detailed, and the mids are very strong. They also say the highs are clear and crisp, and bring out subtle nuances. Customers say the headphones shine when listening to complex arrangements with many voices.

    "...Let's go heavier. Quadrophenia by The Who. OMG The clarity. I could feel my fingers on John's bass as the super-clean lows filled my head...." Read more

    "...The sound stage is large but The highs are nice and clear with a little cut off at the peaks. The bass is nice warm and clear if a little flat...." Read more

    211 customers mention105 positive106 negative

    Customers are mixed about the performance of the headphones. Some mention that they are excellent at the job they use them for, monitoring a master track while, and that they fit well and perform as expected with no real issues or noticeable drops offs of any kind. However, others say that they're not top performing headphones when compared to much more expensive models, unusable for working, and not exceptional.

    "...As others have opined, they are super-transparent, so garbage-in, garbage-out...." Read more

    "...next door, like your parents or other family members, these are a very poor choice!..." Read more

    "...With no real issues or noticeable drops offs of any kind. Everything sounds just right in my book...." Read more

    170 customers mention98 positive72 negative

    Customers are mixed about the fit of the sound and recording equipment. Some mention that they fit their specific use case very well, while others say that they didn't fit them that well. The earpads are oval, soft, and fairly large, while the cord that comes with it is only 3 feet long.

    "...AKG reputation, single-sided, detachable/replaceable cable, and oversized muffs. And price, of course!..." Read more

    "...The initial cord that comes with the cans is long. Way too long for casual use...." Read more

    "...I was surprised to find the earpads so precisely, solidly fitted to my head with notably less pressure anywhere on my head or ears than 8 or more..." Read more

    "...The cord has a nice rubbery texture and is a good length. I just needed a little longer...." Read more
