Manufacturer's Description for AKG K240MKII Semi-Open Circumaural Headphones

The K240MKII is a newly updated version of AKG's most successful headphones with Varimotion technology and XXL transducers. The K240MKII's semi-open ear cups have around-the-ear coupling to deliver solid bass, accurate mids and crystal-clear highs.

Thanks to its lower impedance and improved sensitivity, it can be used with low-output audio sources to deliver its incredible sound.

The detachable OFC cable has gold-plated plugs for optimum audio quality and exceptional ease of service.

Features

Professional hi-fi stereo studio headphones

Semi-open, circumaural design

Self-adjusting headband for optimum fit

Patented Varimotion speakers

Leatherette ear pads and velvet ear pads

Single-sided, detachable 3 m cable and additional 5 m coiled cable

Varimotion: The basis of superior audio performance
The heart of any headphone is the diaphragm. Made of extremely thin foil, the diaphragm is required by transducer designers to perform incredible, almost artistic feats. The rim of the diaphragm must vibrate elastically while the center portion should move like a piston. AKG achieved just that by designing the Varimotion system.

The "sound zone" in the center is thicker than the rim and therefore moves like a piston with no partial oscillations. The result is an absolutely realistic sound, with a better sonic perspective and an airier high end. The rim, or "movement zone", is thinner and vibrates more easily, providing a powerful, punchy bass range. zZounds is an authorized dealer of AKG products.

Customer Reviews
5 out of 5 (5 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
"Accurate, comfortable, cost effective."
Sound: These phones have a very accurate response; I cannot detect LF bumps or HF peaks. Great for pleasure or critical listening. I love these for what I do. Feature: The semi-open design can enhance listening experience, but can be problematic when in use as monitors in loud sessions where performers are working near sensitive mic's. I can recommend the AKG 240S for those applications. Ease of Use: They are simply plug and play. These are comparatively light in weight. Quality: While not luxerious, they are elegant and similar in qulaity to my older versions that have lasted for more than 15 years in my studio. Value: If desire accuracy, these are a great choice in or above this price range. Manufacturer Support: I have not had to use AKG support. That is great. The Wow Factor: I own many sets of headphones both less and more expensive than these. The 240 is my "go to" choice for 95% of my uses. Overall: As I stated before, I have owned several the 240 series for many years, they continue to provide outstanding service. My newer 240's promise to to do the same. Note that my new models sound a bit cooler than the older ones, I would expect a break in period to resolve this very minor issue. Other brands seem to demand an adjustment period when I first put them on. With the AKG's I feel immediately comfortable, and can relax with confidence regarding the electro/convective signal path to my ears.
