## Description

AKG K240 Studio MK II Channel Studio Wired On Ear Headphones without Mic (Black) : desertcart.in: Musical Instruments

Review: Best headset for the purest of classical music - This is the best headset I have ever had in my life!! After I have used multiple bass heavy over ear heasets throught my life, even though I was always a classical music lover, when I put on these headsets, I felt that I have come back to my roots once again! I have never felt more nostalgic putting on a headset before! To me true music should always have more focus on the mid freqiencies and a more flat soundstage instead of having very high mids and treble. Apart from its crystal clear sound quality because of which there is great instrument seperation for studio and monitoring purposes, I love the headset due to its nostalgic golden looks, and its comfort, due to the semi-open and light weight body and push back leather head band(even though the leather ear pads tend to be a bit warm), with high quality 3m long cables. In short, these headsets are best for true music lovers (mainly classical & good sustain effect when plugged in to digital piano using the 6.3mm jack, especially for the main treble area were more emphasis is needed) but would be unsuitable for bass heavy rap tunes.
Review: Best under budget. - Weight; Almost all AKG headphones are light weight, so no worries. Build Quality; Really better build quality, than it's comparators, though it is just hard plastic. Also, the velvet pads are soooo comfy Function Usage; 1. Best for studio recordings ; it's a closed back!! 2. The field emulation is quite great considering its price, so it's definitely considered for orchestra related music. 3. I'm not personally a drummer but my fellow people says it's worth it! 4. Detachable cable, so worthable for live sound (like field recording) Sound quality; Frequency range: The bass is not enough(feels even lower than flat ones), making it too dull. The mids and highs are arguably good. Clarity: The instrument isolation is every clear but lacks volume (compared with DT770 80 ohms) even after using a better DAC. Clarity further decreases when used in mobile systems (including laptops); tried on Dell G15 and Asus F15, both feels off. I don't personally like this use of mini XLR but, it's fine (locks perfectly and easy to attach and detach)

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ONLY FOR PROFESSIONALS WHO WANT TO MIX AND MASTER AUDIO.
*by V***N on 17 June 2024*

SO THIS PRODUCT IS ABOUT THE AKG K240. LET ME START FROM THE BUILT QUALITY, HANDLE WITH CARE FOR LONG TERM USE, IF IT IS A PHYSICAL DAMAGE YOU WON'T GET WARRANTY. THE SOUND QUALITY IS FLAT. HIGHS ARE CLEAR MIDS ARE GOOD BUT BASS ARE ENOUGH FOR YOU TO HEAR. THIS HAS AN ALMOST FLAT SOUND STAGE. I AM BUYING THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME AND THE FIRST PRODUCT I GOT DISTORTED TOO MUCH WHEN I INSERTED IN MY AUDIO INTERFACE BUT WHEN THE REPLACEMENT CAME I GOT AMAZED. THE SOUND WAS JUST AWESOME. WIDE SOUND STAGE, EACH ELEMENT ALMOST CAN BE IDENTIFIED IF THE SOUND YOU HEAR IS PROPERLY MIXED. RECOMENDATION: HEAR *HARRIS JAYARAJ TAMIL SONGS* IN YOUTUBE FOR CRYSTAL CLEAR SONGS. HE IS TAMIL INDUSTRY'S BEST SOUND ENGINEER TILL DATE. SO AS SAID IN THE TITLE THIS IS NOT FOR CASUAL LISTENING, BUT IF YOU LOVE FLAT SOUND IT IS OKAY. BUT NO SOUND ISOLATION AS THIS IS A SEMI OPEN BACK HEADPHONES. QUIET ROOM IS NEEDED FOR MIXING OR YOU WILL HEAR ALL THE EXTERNAL NOISE AND OTHERS WILL KNOW WHAT YOU ARE HEARING. SO THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU PLACE YOUR ORDER. LASTLY I BOUGHT IT FOR MIXING MY AUDIO AND THEY DO JUSTICE FOR THEIR PRICE RANGE. THIS NOTE IS ONLY FOR MIXING ENGINEERS. DON'T BLINDLY TRUST THESE HEADPHONES ALWAYS HAVE A CONSUMER GRADE SPEAKER FOR REFERENCE AS YOUR MIX WILL SOUND DIFFERENTLY IN EACH DEVICE. CHEEERS. Edit; It was not suitable for me i returned it. So try it with your audio interfaceinterface.
