Quote:   I, too, am tempted to grab a pair of these.   I'm hoping the price point will be close to the DT770 pro 80.  Some manufacturers tend to jack up the price with the "limited editions".   What about trying these with the DT770 leather pads?  More breathable than the...

Got the Beyerdynamic DT770 VB pads yesterday!  The installation of the pads wasn't that difficult.  I noticed an immediate difference in the comfort.  The stock AKG velours are pretty comfortable, but with the Beyers, the opening for the ear is much larger.  My ears no longer touch the sides...

Anyone using the headphile cable on the Akg 240?

Thanks for the feedback on that.  I will try the EDT 770 VB vs. the softer pads.   Just curious if you can you speculate on the purpose of the perforations in these Beyer pads?  One would think that this would kill the bass in a closed headphone.   

I decided to change the title of this thread.   The AKG 240 MK II an outstanding headphone for the price.   I'd like to hear from anyone using Beyerdynamic (or other) pads on the AKG 240.  What are your impressions?   Has anyone tried DT880/DT990 pads vs the DT770 pads?  Do the DT990...

Thanks for that response!    I posted this question as I want to use the Beyerdynamic velour pads on my AKG 240 MKII.    Currently, I'm using the stock AKG velour pads.  I like them,  but my ears touch the foam covering the drivers.  The Beyerdynamic pads are a bit deeper.  There are...

I see there are two types of Beyerdynamic Black velours - one for the DT 770, ad one for the DT 990/DT880.   Since both of those cans have the same cup size, why on earth does Beyerdynamic offer two different black velour pads - two different part numbers?   Is construction of either pad...

Actually, my dt770 did have the manufaktur leather pads.  I quite enjoyed them.   I don't see the DT770 leather available anywhere now.  Beyerdynamic only offers the aviation leather pads, which I'm told don't sound as good.  I have not tried the J$ pads.

Quote:   Zombie_X - I really think the DT150 deserves a spot on your Beyerdynamic reviews postings.  I'm curious to know of your impressions.    I must say, though, that out of my tube amp I did not like these.  My DT770 600 ohm were much smoother, warmer, and extended lower on the...

Quote: Great!  Yes, please let us know.  I'm ordering a pair on Friday myself - can't pass up that deal - always wanted to try the AKGs.  Yes, MKII is chrome/blue trim - doesn't say "studio", doesn't have gold trim, comes with velour/pleather pads and straight/coiled cables.

Quote:   Perhaps you might also consider the DT150 at 200 Ohm....ugly, I know...but my favorite headphone!

The photo is for the K240 studio, according to the AKG website.  The 240 MK II headphones don't have the gold trim.  Also, the K240 studio doesn't come with 2 earpads and 2 cables.  The musician's friend website, under specs, lists the earpads & cable extras.  So, do they just have the wrong photo?
