Background Story I Got my DT880/250ohm about a month ago and initially found it to trebly and weak in the bass. After burn-in I like it more and more everyday. I mainly use this to mix in the studio but also to listen to music at home more recently so I can burn them in more.    I've been...

Hi,   Have any of you experienced dedicated or matching designed amps for that special version of K240? We know they require a good power source to make them sound good and get a good sound level. So thanks to share ideas or experiences, mine were completely overhauled, they're nearly like...

Hi guys, I just wanted to say radioshack is now making a portable headphone amp, thought it may be worth trying out for some of you guys, instead of ordering the fiio's. I only recently found out that they sold them. I got one to use with my AKG k240's and so far its working out well. I just...

Hello,    I've got a pair of AKG 240s that were playing fine up until recently. The problem is that the sound has become extremely tinny, often with the vocals gone; For example, "Hey Joe" has no vocals from Hendrix but I can hear the backing vocals very clearly. If I listen to something...

Hi all, I recently purchased an AKG K240 Monitor from an eBay vendor and I found that the felt/foam pieces covering the drivers are deteriorating and gross to handle. I was wondering if anyone knows of any replacement parts I can purchase, or something similar. The felt/foam pieces...

After a few researches, I'm finally between only two headphones (that fits my budget and my purpouses), and my doubts go beyond the simply "which one is better". And you know, I've read a lot of different things about them, and thats quite confusing, so I hope you guys could help me out!  ...

Just found my 35 year old AKG240 headphones. Soldered on a new jack and they sound pretty nice. Would it be worth my time to shop for new phones (under $100). Could I expect better performance? Any opinions welcome. Thanks

Does anyone know when the original K240 (600 ohms) were introduced?   Ralf

Hey guys, I was wondering if it's possible that my HD600 lost some of it's "punch" due to the ear pads wearing out? They kinda sound lifeless to me, as if the pads are damping the sound or something. Basically these headphones are on my head everyday for at least a few hours. When is a good time...

I needed to replace the jack on my AKG K240 Monitors.  Could not find one that accepts the screw on 1/4 adapter.   I emailed Frank at AKG, he is sending me a new jack for free.   Wow, thanks Frank, and thanks AKG for taking care of your customers!!!!   Jim

So I've narrowed down my choices of a possible headphone upgrade, but I'm not sure how they stack up against each other. They all fit my criteria of being an open/semi-open circumaural headphone, but I'd like to know which one is "better" than the others. I listen to mostly alternative rock...

Hello everyone, As in the title, I listen to mostly progressive and psychedelic music, and looking for full-sized headphones that will give best quality and comfort with this budget. The design is less important for me. I've been thinking about the Sennheiser HD-518. What do you think...

I have a Samson SR850i and was wondering where you guys buy your earpads from. I've looked into the AKG k240 earpads but the were too expensive(~$40). I bought the headphones for $40 a year or so ago so I don't feel comfortable spending $40 on a pair of earpads. Anything around the $10 line? Any...

I currently own Samson sr850 but im looking for new headphones in 75-125dollar price range.   I checked the guide on this site and only  CAL and koss pro dj100 headphones were available in my country. Would either of them be any better than Samson sr850?   Imo the sound of the Samson sr850...

Hello everyone. Just wanted to know what kind of headphones would be best for going to sleep with. When i go to sleep with my 1964T IEM, it fairly gets uncomfortable. Looking for some nicely detailed range, or it doesnt have to be that. Sound can be more on the fun side.. But mainly it has to be...

Hi there,   So I've been using these three headphone sets plugged into my Creative X-Fi Go! external soundcard/DAC. Thus far I have been fairly impressed with the results; there is no shortage of volume. What I have been wondering about is how a headphone amp might improve other audio...

Want to buy a headphone under $100 dollar and thinking between the ones I listed. The headphone is going to be used for portable use so the cable needs to be short. I was really debating on either getting the zx700 or the v55. However the others look good too.   Which one should I choose  ...

Im looking to get some headphones that are good for a cheap price. What i mainly look for is comfort so please help me out on this one. Looking for around a 100

Can you recommend an open back headphone that will complement the M50? I'm hoping to have several good ones to choose from under $300. So if there is a counterpart to the M50, I'm all ears.. (pun intended) :)
