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've been casually shopping on and off for a good pair of headphones/headsets for a few months and I've compiled together a list of all the headphones/headsets I found and have seen recommended quite often. My problem now is that I'm a bit overwhelmed and could use some help in the decision...

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...

Hey guys, I've been playing around with headphones since jan 2010. I've owned quite a few in this time. However nothing has been as enjoyable as the $20 Koss KSC75. So far I have owned: DT770 - 250ohm HD650 SR60i DT880 - 600ohm Porta Pro RS1i Now don't get me wrong each of those listed...

This is my first post on this forum. Hai everyone! *waves*     So yeah, I was critically thinking about getting the ATH-M50's for Christmas this year, and I saw ALOT of reviews that said it had amazing sound quality, great mids, epic highs, and a low, deep and rich bass. But I wanted to...

I'm looking for a new headphone for a friend. I could use some advice from you experts! His AKG K601's cable broke down so it has become useless, thus he is looking for a new HP..   These are his preferences:   - Price range: 100-200 euro - Open cans - Detachable cable - For...

Hi guys, i need your help to recommend some of the budget headphone that suit for classical and vocal music. I prefer those could give a relaxing sound and comfort to wear since i feel that my sony V7506 is quite sharp and hard to have a long and relax time for listening to music. my budget is...

Is either one better for movies?   Do movies require a large soundstage, like open cans provide?   Thanks.

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...

Hi Folks...   Just joined the forum, so go easy on me if this has been asked before.   I have unearthed my AKG K240 Cardan 'phones, and started listening to them quite regularly.   I purchased them new back in the 80's, listened to them occassionaly and then stored them back in their...

  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...

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? 

Hello. I recently bought a pair of akg k240 mkII brand new for 105.00 dollars. I like them and feel they have a nice amount of bass for my taste, but also feel they could be better. I listen to bands like Opeth, Alice In Chains, Porcupine Tree. I do listen to bands like radio head, Pearl Jam...

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...

Has anyone noticed on any pair of headphones, specifically K240's?   Given, mine were a slightly used pair, but small hairline cracks have developed along the housing near the earpads/earcups, and it doesn't seem to be an issue anywhere else I've looked. Perhaps I can call in warranty for...

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...

And i LOVE THEM! Thank you guys so much for helping me make this decision. Theyre incredibly comftorble, and even without being amped sound INCREDIBLE! Tonight ill try amping them with my Onkyo receiver and see how much nicer they can get. Theyre so light you cant even feel them on your head...

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...

So I've been using my trusted AKG K240S for over 7 years, this is basically the only good (relatively speaking) pair of headphones I've tried. (when all your friends use 30$ headphones, you feel that your 80$ pair is pro level and there's no need for anything better). Lately they started...

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...

hello. after lurking for a while this is my first thread. great site, great forum!   anyway, i've had the AKG K240 MKII for about 6 months now and am loving it. plugged into my home stereo receiver it sounds amazing, but of course just plugged into my iPhone on the bus just doesn't cut...

Hey all, during the holiday season I would like to redeem myself with some okay headphones, I used OKAY because I know how high standards this forum has and I don't want to get bashed by you guys.   My very limited experience in headphone was that I bought a Senn HD-25-II half a year ago...
