Surprising

I’m an up and coming audiophile so I’ve been exploring some options for professional work, and I love these! They sound clear, and yeah, they don’t have heaps of base, but the base that is there isn’t crushed together, you can hear the really deep sub-bass, and the top end is awesome! The semi-open back design gives it such a wide sound its simply awesome! The cable is a little long, but it is removable so its not THAT big of a deal, plus the cable is really thick and durable. TLDR; Durable, sounds amazing, good for new audiophiles!

Things to consider

I needed to replace my old bottom-line Sennheisers because the cord has tears in a few places and the wire was being exposed. I use the headphones to play/practice guitar. I'm not a professional by any means, it is more or less a hobby. I bought the AKG240s because they were recommended on more than one list of 'best of' headphones for guitar and the price was right. The good? The sound. Definitely better than my old set. These are a welcome improvement in sound. The concerns? Most headphones I've owned or seen use notches to customize as comfortable a fit to your head as possible when. These are not like that. The way adjustments are made is through what I call a 'continuous' or a 'self-adjusting' system. It operates somewhat like a spring or shocks in a car. When you put them on, there is a certain amount of travel in the "wires" that go overhead so that they use "pulling force" to adjust to your head. I'm sure that's not the best way to describe it, but it's the best I can do for now. Also, going over the head and below the adjusting "wires" is a strap that contains the AKG logo which may be made out of leather which is used to help keep the headphones in place. After using them for more than an hour, it can get a little warm with that strap right on my head, and having no hair on top of my head doesn't help either, so I wish I would have known that ahead of time before I made the purchase. I hope this has been helpful.
Thank you,
Enrique

Love my K240

I have a K240, a predecessor model as it doesn't say "Studio", just "K240". I bought it 34 years ago and have listened to a lot of music with it over the years. It still works great.

Used these professionally for years

My first encounter with AKG 240 headphones was working in magnetic tape manufacturing years ago. I used them for switch listening from master to copy. They helped tune the magnetic formula in developing good tone quality with little use of bias adjustments. They were just a good, basic headphone. I still love 'em. They make music sing.

For the price the sound is crisp and clear. They are the most comfortable headphones I've experienced.
