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.

VERIFIED BUYER

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.

Overall: Listening to AKG K240MKII, I notice less gain in the sound level compared to my AKG K77 Close-Back Headphone which cost much less. If you are expecting increase db gain on a Semi-Open Headphone this is not the best choice. Perhaps a Close-Back would be a better choice.
