A Studio Icon, Still Relevant Today
A benchmark in monitoring headphones for decades, the AKG K240 Studio has established itself in countless control rooms and home studios. It carries on the DNA of the K240 series by combining faithful sound reproduction with a robust design, ideal for intensive use. Its semi-open design preserves the "control headphone" spirit favored by engineers while enhancing listening comfort.
Designed for Monitoring, Recording, and Mixing
The K240 Studio targets musicians, producers, podcasters, and sound engineers seeking precise stereo imaging and natural timbre. During recording, it reduces ear fatigue and allows hearing performance nuances. In editing and mixing, its tonal balance helps reliably judge vocals, guitars, synths, and percussion without overemphasizing any frequency band.
Design and Features Serving the Sound
The 30 mm "XXL" drivers deliver a fast and clear response, with tight bass that doesn't bleed, articulated mids for vocal clarity, and detailed highs without harshness. The semi-open architecture provides a wider soundstage than closed-back headphones, useful for placing reverbs and panoramas.
Built for durability, the K240 Studio features interchangeable ear pads and a 3 m detachable cable. This modularity simplifies maintenance and extends the headphone's lifespan, a major advantage in professional environments. The 3.5 mm mini-jack connector with 6.35 mm adapter ensures immediate compatibility with audio interfaces, consoles, and controllers.

I also have a very high-end Sony MDR7250 that I use to check my mixes but I prefer the K240 for editing because it tires my ears less. The AKG K240 that I had owned for 20 years was in poor condition and I replaced it with a new K240 (this one is not made in Austria like my old K240).
Comparing it to the Sony which was worth 10 times more, I would say that the bass of the K240 is a bit light and not very present in the low end of the spectrum but it is well balanced and sufficiently defined in the mids and highs.
It is probably not ideal for mixing but anyway you should not mix mainly with headphones. The K240 is a headphone that is widely used in studios. A reference and a good investment.Automatically translated

The best headphones I know (but I don't know all of them; ^)
A precise, neutral sound: a real pleasure!
A single flaw from my humble point of view: fragility of the internal connections, the two rods that form the arch at the top of the headphones also serve as audio links to the right earpiece and in a concert recording situation I tended to release one of my ears by making the auricle pass behind my skull, the welds finally failed and this helmet is not very easy to disassemble. This is the third copy that I buy so I stop the “crap”.Automatically translated

What can I say if only for the price, this helmet is wonderful!
The sound is very neutral, good bass presence without doing too much either and the treble is very well transcribed, for mixing it's great!
I find it low in sound power on the other hand, it is the only defect I will have to give it.
But the big positive point is that it is very comfortable, even after hours on your head and at this price it is very strong!
In short, for use in a home studio or to play an instrument these headphones are perfect.Automatically translated

I bought these headphones after my AKG K-52 died. The problem came from a false contact in the cable I opted for this headset where I can replace it.
I have no complaints about sound but I don't know much about it. I mainly use it to do bass and a bit of video mixing, it suits me very well.
Semi-open: it suits me well, I continue to hear others without bothering me.
Comfort: I have glasses and keep it on my head for several hours without worries because of a bit of perspiration.Automatically translated
