Hello guys, This is my first post in head-Fi forums! After reading a lot of reviews I decided that the akg 240 mkii would be a nice introduction for me in the world "good" headphones, since I come from some "basic" akg 512s, which I found to be pretty solid and enjoyable ones. The problem I...

Just got a pair of akg k240 studios, and I'm going to do an in depth look at them. I will assess build, comfort, looks, sound, and features. Build: Looking at them, I see no real build issues. High quality plastic, a ring of metal around the outside of the driver cover, and more high quality...

Hey gang, like I mentioned in another recent thread, I'm just making the switch over from being a 2 channel stereo guy to headphones. I thought I'd be much easier to please with headphones, but that is proving to not be the case. I'm finding huge faults with the 3 pairs of headphones I've tried...

Total noob when it comes to headphones here. I have Behringer HPS3000 but they are uncomfortable (too much clamping force I think)   Any thoughts on good / comfy full size headphones for around $100ish ?    How about the Klipsch ones ? (My Klipsch Reference II hifi system is amazing but...

Hi everyone, looking for some quick advice on a desktop amp for the listed headphones.   I currently use both of these headphones 100% on my desktop PC, but currently I am only using the onboard sound. I am looking to upgrade with a dac/amp combo and am mostly curious as to my choices for a...

Hi. I listen to music all day, I'm shopping for a new pare of headphones. I just decided I didn't want the amperior headphones because they were too uncomfortable. I just decided the AKG K240 doesn't isolate well enough.   Comfort and isolation is paramount because I listen to music all day...

Hi all,   I knew I was a low volume listener but I confirmed it with a SPL meter :P To be honest I wasnt sure. So my equipment and my question to you all: Test songs are Prodigy because they are loud and squashed with dynamic compressors. (extreme case) My usual songs are more soft/minimal...

I am looking for my first real set of headphones, and I am asking them to do a lot, so hear me out.   I need something that is semi-isolating, but can be a tad open (hence the K 240). I sometimes listen in noisy environments for short-er periods, but I don't care much about sound leakage to...

Hello, everyone.   I'm a bit of a "newbie" to the world of high-end audio, so I hope that those who are more experienced can help me get started.   I recently bought a pair of AKG K240 MKII headphones. The problem is that most of my listening takes place on my iPod Classic, and...

I'm in need of an upgrade, and the K-240s seem really nice. However, I don't want to spend as much as I did on headphones on an amp. Will the FiiO E6 be enough for them?

My Audiotechnica M30s have broken and I am looking to buy new cans'. I have narrowed my list down from   Creative Aurvana Live! (looks cheap) Sony MDR-V6 AKG K 240 Semi-Open  Sony MDR7506  KRK KNS6400  Fostex T40RPMK2  Shure SRH440  Audio Technica ATH-AD700 (looks old lookin')  ...

Hello, head-fi members. I am quite new to the forums and this will be my first thread. So to the point, I purchased a pair of K240S on the 26th of May, this year. They've been doing great, no problems with them at all, but today, something rather strange happened, the sound on the left ear-cup...

Need recommendations for best sub-$100 USB headphone amp/DAC to match best ~$100 headphones, taking into account driving capability/matching.  Prices may be for used.  Under $100 for each is target.   Headphones under consideration from the "Best ~$100 Headphone thread"   AKG K240...

I've had these headphones for around 2 months now and I've been using then with my iPod touch and a fiio e11 amp. I would like more bass in my music. Would you suggest a better amp or a different pair of headphones? I would like to keep the price beneath $250. If it helps I mainly listen to rap...

Hi people,   I have a dilemma.  I bought a vintage pair of K240 DFs some months back.  Basically, I love the mid range and treble on these things, they are so flat, neutral and clear (despite missing the very top end, it sounds), but I cannot abide their lack of bottom end any more!  I...

So yesterday, I finally received my pair of 240's, and I decided, for convenience sake, to use the coiled cable that came with it. I had no problem changing from straight 3 meter cable to coiled 5 meter cable. Today, however, I cannot remove the 5 meter cable, and but there seems to be nothing...

Hello,   I recently purchased an original AKG K240 Sextett (4-600 ohm). I also started to build an EL84 based tube amplifier and it came to my mind that I could also put a headphone output on the amp. I saw some very good reviews on the net about Leben CS-300X especially about its...

I have the FiiO E7 but I feel kind of half ass'd using this portable amplifier as my main desktop DAC and AMP. I was thinking of returning it and getting the schiit magni and modi. Then that would make my AKG K240 sound really good and my Sennheiser HD 558. Also this way I could upgrade in the...

I was curious to know if I should get the Schiit Magni, and get the Modi (or something lower grade later) to power my current headphones.    Would the Magni go good with these headphones? I'm currently using the FiiO E7 but I feel a little half ass'd with this thing. also, would the Magni...

I've decided that it's about time I upgrade my portable audio setup and make it a much better listening experience since this is where most of my listening takes place. I would appreciate it if somebody could recommend me a headphone with good bass and treble extension that would provide...

Hi I am looking to get a new amp/dac for my AKG K240. I have heard that tube amps are not very good when matched with low impedance headphones and was wondering if this applied to my AKGs?   The amps that I was looking at before I read this were   Little Dot 1+ and Mkii  Qinpu Q2 or...

Hello, have anyone tried in comparision closed cheap Superlux HD 662f vs semiclosed AKG K240 mk2? I have tried both these headphones and couldn't believe that Superlux with their 1/4 price of AKG has better trebles and also soundstage than AKG. I also more like their detail over AKG's which is...

I was wondering if the AKg K240's had enough soundstage to be used as a gaming headset. I am hoping to make these my first real headphones and wanted something that i could use for gaming but also use for music and movies or whatever else
