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 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

Hi, I posted this on the cable forum but the thread got buried with no replies... hoping I'll have better luck here.   The cable for my AKG K240 Studio headphones crapped out, so I bought a female mini XLR plug to build a new one. I used this document from AKG support as a guide - if you...

I use SR80i for baroque organ and heavy metal. Because 80i is too open to leave the house with, I looked here for a closed alternative. I found at least 30 threads with recommendations, most of them short. I am compiling them here so you won't have to look so hard. I'm not including every...

Bonjour everyone, I'm a long time lurker and the occasional contributor to this magnificent website (though I'm inconsistent with accounts because I'm awful at remembering passwords and emails ). It's time I ask for some advice that I haven't been able to really find. I've done plenty of...

Hello Head-Fi'ers. Just obtained an AKG Sextett off Ebay but the seller did not state which era of production it's from.           The colour of the 6 circular radiators suggest it's LP. Do LPs come with the headband with holes though? Thanks 

hello, new to the forum and not sure if this is right section...   so some days ago I bought these great phones cheap. seller said at there is major balance problem in them (right phone is almost muted, but still can hear something). I though that the problems is with connections so took a...

Hi guys!   I just recently bought my first set of nice over-ear headphones, AKG K240 Studios, and I'm interested in getting an amp so I can get all I can out of them!   I was hoping some of you could offer some advice, since I know very little about amps.   My price range is right...

Heyyas HeadFi-ers,   i just got me a AKG K240 Monitor (early, 600ohms) off ebay and well - it needs a little cleaning. I've managed to clean out most parts (especially the disintegrated foam which seems glued to the the fabric cover resting against your ear inside the pads), i'm currently...

Just picked up some AKG K240s, and in general I'm quite pleased. However it was was obvious on my first listen that the sound was noticeably louder on the left side. Even after 10 hours of use, the sound just dominates on that side by about 10% more in volume. So I went through the obvious...

  Impressions and comparisons: Pioneer Monitor 10; AKG K240 DF; Pioneer Monitor 10R; Philips N6330; Sony DR 6A; Sony MDR CD900 ST; Beyerdynamic DT48E.   As the title suggests this work is devoted to summarize impressions and to compare the headphones based on these impressions. Everything...

Hello - am new to head-fi, these forums and never considered myself to be much of an audiophile (many of you might call me a noob).  I've been absorbing as much as I could from the last several days, preparing myself for my purchase of new headphones.  Rather than continue to lurk, I want to...

Not even a year old and a plastic part broken on them. The plastic cover on the right side has a crack through it. It's part no.16 in this link - http://www.akg.com/mediendatenbank2/psfile/datei/36/K240_m_stu4055d215ac91a.pdf I can unfasten the plastic part using my fingernail but no way of...

I'll start by saying, Head-fi is horrible for my wallet. I'm now looking at getting a second pair of headphones. I have a pair of K-240S, and I have a Fiio E9 amp. I've gotten "bored" of the K240s, (Great pair of cans though) what should I consider adding to my ever growing collection? 

I mainly used my AKG k518 for listening, which is a basshead can. I got a pair of K240 for producing, and Im getting used to the difference in sound. Is there any EQ setting I can use to make the listening experience a little more involving?

Apologies for the question-spree, but I want a straight answer before I start spending more money   I picked up a pair of AKG K240s for producing music. I got them specifically because they were the most neutral in my price range (save for the fostex t50rp, apparently) and that I could run...

ok their both around the same price witch one would be better for techno/dance/electronic music?

Hello everyone,   I'm using Audiophile 2496 audio card which doesn't have a stereo jack output (only RCA and S/PDIF outputs), and about to buy AKG K-240 headphones.   I'm looking for a low-latency device to connect the audio card to the headphones, without losing the 24-bit/96kHz quality...

Hello Head-Fi,   Do I need a headphone amp for my AKG K240 MKII's?   It is only connected to my Xonar DS Sound Card, when I play heavy (don't know how to word it, detailed, busy?) songs the headphones sort of crap out on me and don't go too loud when I max out iTunes + Windows volume...

Hi,   I purchased a few days ago the AKG K240 mkII, sound much better headphones was before, but not very defined bass and sound's a bit dry. So i need a headphone amplifier for AKG K240 mkII 55ohm, on which amplifiers are recommend?   It's rather not be more expensive than $ 200.

Hi all, longtime lurker but decided to make my first post.  I have a pair of akg 240 studios that i have been listening to and pleasantly enjoying for about 6 months.  After researching on this site i also added a fiio E7 amp/dac and have been enjoying that as well.  I have really been wanting...
