Studio reference standard
If you ever been to a professional recording studio you probably noticed several pairs of these headphones around. AKG K240 are praised for their natural flat sound and used for mixing and monitoring. Like NM10 monitors, they are the reference standard. These headphones do not boost any particular frequency but give a true sonic picture. They're also user very friendly allowing for hours of work without headache. There are more expensive headphones out there, but these are pro's choice for a good reason.
Amazing headphones.
Really good for producing and recording.

Loved These Cans!!!
The flat response of these cans is amazing for times when I had to do some home mixing at night with the kids and wife sleep. I still had to make some tweaks but they were very minor. Very comfortable as well for long term use.

Clean, Standard & Durable
My pair is probably over 10 years old and they are still pumping out surprisingly good quality sound

Very nice so far
Pretty solid for the price, good sound, highs are crisp lows are nice, mids could use some attention. The cord it comes with could be stronger but for 100 dollars you cant go wrong with these!

I usually add 1dB at 1KHz when mixing... at least for me, it makes a HUGE difference! Totally recommend you to try it.

Amazing headphones
They sound wonderful. When I bought them they were 130 dollars but now are around 50. Great deal.


Can't go wrong with the industry standard studio headphones.
