Excellent value for money
VladTheInstaller 24.09.2017
I use these headphones for pretty much everything from monitoring, tracking, and listening to music outdoors and it does a very good job in all situations. The semi-open construction is useful for being able to hear traffic while in urban areas, which is usually difficult with closed-back designs. Unfortunately, that means there is not much rejection when tracking loud instruments like drums or a miked guitar cabinet in the same room.

The sound quality is great, but not as crystal clear as my AKG K-702 but these AKG K-240s are a fraction of the cost. The character is nice and clear but doesn't have an anaemic or over-present bottom end; The bass and low mids sound pretty good to my ears.

The construction is actually a lot tougher than it would appear, but beware that AKG headphones sometimes have a problem with wires popping loose inside the housing. Repairing this issue requires opening your headphones and re-soldering the loose wire. This has happened on 2 of the 3 AKG headphones I own. Also, the soft, plastic ear pads harden over time and need replacing. That being said, these are some of the hardest wearing headphones I've ever owned.

I highly recommend them to anyone looking for great value headphones that will serve them for years with the minimum hassle.

A Studio Standard for a Reason
Schengis 28.06.2019
These are really just great all-around headphones, and at this price, they're very accessible. I mostly bought them because they have nearly a completely opposite sonic representation that the DT 770s, so if I'm ever questioning the quality of a mix that I'm working on I can switch between the two to make sure everything is well-represented in the mix.

In addition to being great in the studio, they can also just be great for listening. There's something magical going on around the mids in these cans and it can give you a completely new perspective on music that you thought you knew!

Having worked with 770s for a while, I was constantly battling ear-fatigue. After I added the K-240s to my toolbox, I was able to mix for longer periods of time without feeling completely washed out. They also work fantastically at low volumes, which can be a lifesaver.

I genuinely don't have much to say that's negative about these headphones. If you're looking for something to cancel out sound and thump your ears off with bass and be super crispy, then these simply aren't for you.

I won't ever work on a project without these again. Must-have headphones.

Very comfortable and not tiring
kikodoze 18.11.2019
Purchase Reason:
I bought these headphones because there were already many friends I knew who would always recommended me these headphones every time I asked which one should I buy.

Goal:
I have been using these AKG K240 for over a year, constantly, and my intention with them since the beginning was and is to mix and master my projects and various works that I am having. I was very happy to have bought these ones because they are so worth the price which is very affordable.

Comfort:
These headphones sound great and are not tiring to hear for hours on end because they are very comfortable and both the outside and inside cushions are very soft and this is crucial for musicians and sound technicians that want to work without getting frustated after using it.

Sound:
What immediately caught my attention on these headphones was that when listening to music, the clarity of all the songs I listened to was very prominent. Low end not exaggerated, and very well defined mediums and highs. Whether listening to acoustic music down to metal, the clarity and detail are all very well present in these headphones.
And getting it all for less than 100 € is very good deal.

Conclusion:
I conclude that these are the headphones that I use most, whether for leisure and even for mixing and mastering. They are very comfortable and I can stay with them for hours on end and not get tired.
There is nothing I didn't like about these headphones, they're simply amazing.

Great value for money !!
Washburn79 11.01.2023
I use them at home to play my electric guitar. It was immediately love: the headphones are well made and comfortable to wear,the most important thing is the sound they reproduce is neutral, what you play returns exactly in the headphone. The other headphones I had tried changed the sound in tone and boost. I recommend them to everyone. Great value for money !!

Great for recording vocals
RobStrat 03.02.2022
I had been recording my vocals with closed headphones for years and have been struggling with pitch control on louder pushed vocals. These open-backed and very nutral sounding headphones made it possible to both hear the backing track and both my in-ear and room voice, without any weird disconnect when singing loud. Great value and for me open or semi-open headphones are now a must for recording vocals. Some sound engineers might not like them because there is some bleed but they need to get over themselves

I use these for over-ear monitors while playing my electric kit and also when in a band setting on an acoustic drumkit. Work great in both scenarios

Beautiful Sounds

Hi,
I needed a good professional pair of headphones for my work and guitar amp. There are so many available now but luckily I chose the AKG K-240 Studio headphones!
They fit perfectly but more importantly the sound is amazing, whether using with my guitar amp, listening to music or movies on my laptop, they are the best headphones I have owned. Also, the service from Thomann was very professional from ordering to delivery, they are the best in the business!
