AKG K240 MKII Reviews

Amazing!

Have had them for more than a year and they've held up really well. Definitely worth the purchase, especially if you're looking for a lower-cost production/mix/sound design headphone. Also love that the wire is replaceable. Only thing is that folks with longer hair might sometimes get their hair caught between the L/R circles and the headphones, so just be careful when taking your headphones off! Doesn't happen to me *that* often, but would like to spare others the unexpected yank of hair off your head.

Very enjoyable to use.

I've used them only once, but they are a gigantic improvement to my older headsets-another manufacturer. Light weight, comfortable on the head and ears, and the sound was very good. A good purchase.

I use these headphones for mix n mastering. The wire they come with also works for the K240 MKII headphones as well.

I bought them as a birthday present for my dad and he loves them he was so happy. He has tinnitus so he needs good quality sound to treat that. It's amazing really they're very very good quality headphones. Thank you so much. I finally got my Dad a birthday present he really wanted. Thank you so much for that. Love, Tauney

Lightweight, super comfortable, durable

These are studio headphones, so don’t expect to have the bass and kick drum pounding in your ears. That’s not whar these are made for. These are great for monitoring, mixing, and even recording. Semi-open, so while they have some external sound bleed, they do not give you ear fatigue from hours of listening. These are durable, too. Probably because they’re so lightweight. They certainly won’t break under their own weight. These are the most comfortable headphones I’ve ever had on for hours and hours. They come with 2 different types of ear pads and 2 different types of cables. Those should be the only parts you ever need to replace. I’ve been using these every day for over 3 years and I’m still on the original ear pads and cables that came with them. Be sure to buy from an authorized AKG dealer. I’m seeing a lot of knock-offs being sold online!!

I'm looking for headphones that have a detachable cable, meaning if the cable gets caught on something it will detach from the headphones without causing any damage to cable or headphones. Do these have that feature? Thanks.
Asked by: Bob
Yes the cable for the AKG K240 MKII Professional Semi-Open Stereo Headphones is detachable.
