With a wide frequency response (15–25,000 Hz), self-adjusting headband, and dual cables (10ft straight and 16ft coiled) with mini XLR connectors, they offer exceptional comfort, versatility, and durability—making them a studio standard for musicians, producers, and audio engineers worldwide.

## Description

The AKG K240 MKII professional over-ear, semi-open headphones carry on the success of their predecessor—the AKG K240 Studio—and are a standard in studios, orchestras and on stages around the world. Their advanced 30 mm XXL transducers with patented Varimotion diaphragms deliver a wide dynamic range, increased sensitivity and high sound levels, while their semi-open design provides the airiness of open headphones with the powerful bass response of closed designs. With impressive accuracy, musicians, producers and engineers rely on the AKG K240 MKII to clearly hear mixing details, which has made these headphones a standard in recording settings. In addition to great sound quality, the headphones are extremely durable and comfortable. Not only built to withstand the demands of countless hours in the studio, their self-adjusting headband provides an ideal fit and their over-ear pads nicely envelop the ears. The AKG K240 MKII headphones also feature a professional mini XLR connector and come with a 3m (10ft) straight cable, 5m (16ft) coiled cable and convertible jack plug for connecting portable equipment easily. Altogether, from performance and ease of use to comfort and reliability, the AKG K240 MKII is a powerful tool for production environments.

Review: A Great Value (for one weird reason( - I own, and love, a pair of AKG KT-553 + Mk II)'s, which are my "go to" headphones for music. These 240's are inferior (no surprise at the much lower price point). But they are great for non-critical use like Zoom meetings. What I love is that this cheaper set uses the same detachable mini XLR cord system as the KT553 cans, and comes with multiple straight and coiled cords. For me, getting the extra cords for my higher end AKG's almost makes the 240's a free bonus at the price. But - make no mistake - theses are very good headphones for under $10O, for sound quality, for comfort, and for value. And, on top of all that, the multiple cords provided with this model just might be a great addition if (like me) you have an embarrassing number of headphones. Either way, solid buy at the listed price. Highly recommended!
Review: The End of My Headphone Quest - If I used one word to describe these it would be balanced. I listen to mostly classical but also enjoy Judas Priest type heavy metal. I don't feel these are lacking in any musical range, but I think their low end is especially enjoyable. When listening to Harnoncourt's Schubert symphonies, some of Orpheus Chamber Orchestra's Haydn, and Haitink's Brahms 4th these phones brought the low strings to vibrant life. The Brahms verified that the brass would come through loud and clear. Brahms is often thick, these phones did the best job I have heard yet of opening things up a bit. Winter's rendering of Bach on the organ was handled with deep polyphonic aplomb. I would say the most fun was a disc called "Macal Conducts Mussorgsky." This is a stunning recording, testing every orchestral color (thanks Ravel.) Wonderfully clear and uncluttered and dramatic with these phones. The Priest was also splendid in both detail and the extensive range and variety of all those luscious rich chords. The stereo soundstage is very distinct and pleasing. I have three other headsets: Sennheiser HD-428, Monoprice 8323, and Koss UR-20. This set makes them somewhat unnecessary. Which it should at three to five times the cost. All of the sets I mentioned are worthy over achievers, by the way. I was pleased with the choice of detachable cords. I use the straight one and find it very easy to drape out of my way. I like this headband adjustment and support system. It is comfortable. It is similar to the UR-20 which is the most comfortable headset I have ever had. I do not, however, like the ear pads. I had high hopes that the velour set would be comfy. No, their ear hole is actually smaller than the pleather and have an overly firm foam padding (maybe they would break in.) I must confess that my ears are somewhat large. So I made a modification that I haven't heard of anyone else doing. I carefully removed the ragged pads from my UR-20s and put them on the AKGs. They fit rather loosely (in fact they rotate easily on the AKG shell), but have much larger oval ear holes and are much more comfy. They are in no danger of falling off and seem to serve the purpose. Everyone is different. What works for one of us will not work for another. This worked for me and was cheaper than plastic surgery on my ears. I guess one testament to these headphones is that I have been listening to music practically non-stop since getting them. I have wanted to explore what I have been missing in my CD collection. These are very fun, clear, and capable headphones. By the way, I use these with a Yamaha RX-V373 receiver and will not be using them with portable devices.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What accessories come in the box?**
A: Replacement ear covers (they originally come with a leather looking material on the earphones but the soft replacements are more comfortable) and 2 different cords- one long one and one shorter coiled one.

**Q: Is the audio flat, and can these maintain comfort after 4-6hrs of continuous use (glasses+large head)?**
A: It is perfectly flat! Extremely comfortable on a large head. Don't use glasses. Audio is so flat, sometimes i wish it was more colored :)

**Q: Is the Cmoy BB amp with dual AD825 opamps a good choice for a headphone amplifier to use with these cans?**
A: Yes the ad825 opamps are very good chips and deliver very clear audio ,you will notice a crisp bass punch very much like what you would hear in a studio through monitors...

**Q: Are the drivers only 30mm? Does this impact the bass sound?**
A: If we were talking about physically feeling the bass on your head, then yes... Sound quality of bass? None. The bass is tight and nice.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value, great sound at price point, but no longer made in Austria
*by A***. on December 20, 2012*

I've been an AKG fan since the late 1980s, when I bought my first pair of AKG K240DF headphones. Over the years, I've owned a few pairs of the 240DFs and a pair of 701s, as well as some Beyerdynamics. I was somewhat disappointed to see on the box that these are now "Engineered in Austria/Made in China" headphones. Ever since Harman acquired AKG, they've been experimenting with the brand and finding ways to extract value. I guess you can't blame them, but it's sad to see a proud Austrian audio company being revamped like this. In all, the build quality on these Chinese-made K240MKIIs is similar to the Austrian-made K240DFs I've owned. The leatherette earpads are the same. The auto-adjusting headband is also the same. Now, however, they are engineered with a detachable cord that joins at the left earcup. AKG also provides some velour-type earpads and a straight and coiled cord. At the price of just over one hundred dollars, you get quite a lot for your money. The K240DFs were about twice as expensive and didn't come with all the extra goodies. As for sound, it generally takes awhile for AKGs using this type of diaphragm to "burn in" and achieve their mature sound. I've got these coupled with a HRT HeadStreamer USB-powered Headphone DAC/Amplifier , which is a good quality USB DAC and amplifier -- I highly recommend HRT's products. I use these cans at work to listen to my music library, which is encoded in the lossless FLAC format. (At home, I use a class A HeadRoom desktop headphone amp and 701s or Beyerdynamic DT770s.) Here are my impressions. First, you need to use these with an amplifier. Even though they are rated at 55 ohms (compared with the professional studio 600 ohm K240DFs), the sound you get when driving them from a phone or average MP3 player is subpar at best. Adding the dedicated headphone amp really opens these up. Second, the sound is pretty good. These are based on a legendary AKG monitoring design and have a pretty even and accurate presentation. There is no undue emphasis at any frequency. The bass is present and well controlled. The mids and highs are coherent, with a smooth midrange and good treble extension. If they sound a bit brittle or bright at first, remember that it takes time to condition the diaphragms to their mature state -- the 701s took a few hundred hours of play before they really achieved that. These are no exception to the general AKG rule. The music is reasonably well detailed coming from the HeadStreamer. However, these do not approach the level of detail and subtlety that the 701s are capable of presenting, and you aren't going to get quite as full a soundstage. But if you don't do an A-B comparison, you're not going to miss that. What you will notice with these over others in this price range is that you're hearing well into the music and that the music sounds really good and accurate. These are incredibly comfortable to wear, too. They fit securely but not firmly -- I wear glasses and these don't bother me at all. The flexibility of the headband will allow you to pull an earcup away to hear someone without wrecking the headphones. In sum, I'd recommend these as a good entry level audiophile headphone. While they're made in China now, they still have the legendary AKG accuracy and the build quality hasn't suffered in any readily apparent way. However, I'd use them for listening at home, not as portable headphones. They really do need amplification to sound their best.
