Offered here are my AKG K240DF Diffuse Field Studio Monitor Headphones. I am only the 2nd owner of these. They sound great and I know their complete history.
I bought them in the late 1990's from a musician buddy who used them in his home recording studio. They sounded great but one earpiece was a little loose on the headband. The plastic piece that is molded onto the end of the headband and attaches inside the wiring cavity had cracked. I fixed it by inserting a piece of plastic inside the cavity to hold the headband in place. I chose not to glue the earphone logo and labels back on, in case it needed to be repaired again, but kept them and they're included.
In 2003 I ordered a complete set of replacement parts from AKG: new foam inserts, new earpads, and a new headband. See 2nd pic, which also shows the logo/label inserts. But I haven't needed to use any of them: my "fix" has worked fine for all these years, and the original pads are good too.
Shortly after that I lost interest in headphones, put them in a box, stored them on a shelf, and forgot about them. There they sat until three years ago when I found them while looking for something else. It was a happy rediscovery - Covid was on the rise and I was using headphones again.
These headphones work and sound great, with all-original parts. And I still have all of the spare parts I bought for them.
So that's what you're getting. A pair of great-sounding, low-mileage K240DF's with all-original parts in very good condition, and the set of replacement parts bought in 2003, as described above.
PS - I never liked the elastic headband adjusters on K240's. You can see in the last pic I use a couple rubberized foam plugs which don't wear out and give a perfect fit for my head.
