Really disappointed, I regret buying these
: The 240s heritage from the 70s, the looks
: Non existent bass, muffled overly emphasized mids with not enough detail and extension on the highs, they sound dark and fatiguing in the mids, uncomfortable fit around the ear, mediocre soundstage, imaging and bad separation of instruments, build quality is also really bad
I had listened to the 600ohm model in a studio which I .liked and I decided to get the newer model, but I was really disappointed with the bad sound quality compared to the old model and other studio headphones. They sound lean . very thin and everything you mix with them turns out bass heavy because the have really poor bass response and non existent subbass, opening the cans made of the cheapest quality plastic I was surprised to see very tiny drivers inside the big empty plastic can. They are not flat at all, The hype about their "magical" midrange is just that, a marketing hype, they have no bogy in the mid frequencies, but that are overly emphasized (since there isn't enough bass and high frequency presence) the vocals sound thin compared to other cans and have not good enough detail, hearing classical music you will have a difficult time to hear each instrument clearly, they are also really bad with electronic music and rock. There are a lot of headphones in the same price range that sound way better than these. so take a listen before you buy! Lastly the build quality is awful, they feel really cheap.
