At time :54 the gold ring on the headphones and the two double rest is noticable, as is the general shape of the headphones, later at 1:29 the top of the headband reads AKG again in gold.

Description

High output is ideal for use with weaker headphone amps.

Features of the AKG K240 Studio Headphones include a removable cable and Varimotion technology for enhanced bass response. The headphones' 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 K240's steel-cable, self-adjusting headband construction and single-sided professional-quality audio interconnect ensure extended reliability in demanding professional studio applications. 55-ohm impedance.

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.

Excellent low mid and high mid definition

Excellent reproduction of low mids and high mids, very accurate sound, light on the head, super comfy, overall excellent pair of headphones but very VERY low sub responce.

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.

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.

My favorite headphones for everything!

From mixing to enjoying good quality audio records, this is the best you can get! It does not give you that awful low-end that destroys your mix. Because of its semi-open construction, you will be able to stay longer periods using it. The only problem some people have with it is about the durability, but hey...you are not suppose to throw it around! And it is expensive to keep caring around inside your backpack to use it with your iPod... C'mon! Lets use the gear for its right purpose!

Good for high frequencies and thats it..

Open headphones, complement for my closed ATH-M50x. Not worth the price imo, dont know why I bought them...
