    Kenwood KA-5700

    Hey all,   Picked myself up a Kenwood KS-5700 today and just thought i'd give my opinion on it incase any of you might be thinking about getting one yourself. First of all, i do not use it just to power my AKG AK240s, i have a pair of Polk Rti A3s on the way which will be the main thing the...

    Smaller K240S alternative?

    For starters, this is my first post, so hi everyone! Been lurking here for I dunno how long, finally decided to register yesterday. Anyhow, here's my situation:   I recently picked up the AKG K240S, maybe 3 weeks ago. Gave them a solid week and a half, 2 weeks to burn in and I've been using...

    AKG K240s with Keyboard

    Hey guys! I just joined because I need some help honestly... My google searches did not help. I recently bought a pair of akg k240s thinking they would sound good with my digital keyboard (casio privia px150). They sound great but even with the volume turned all the way up they're barely loud at...

    Best over ear headphones in price range of $40-$100

    I'm looking for a pair of over the ear headphones that have pretty good quality sound for my price range of $40-$100. I am getting these for a friend as a gift so them trying them on prior to purchase most likely would NOT happen. These headphones should be good to go by just plugging in an iPod...

    Your favourite "not the best" headphones?

    I can't take credit for the following post, but I thought that a very interesting question was posed. So Marcus if you reading this and think "Hey I wrote this!"... You did and I hope you don't mind.    Quote:   To be honest I have fallen into the trap of "getting the best" to the...

    Which headphones are not "bright" sounding?

    I have 2 headphones: Grado SR60 and AKG K701. I experienced that both these headphones are bright. If I'm going to describe K701, it's like your in open field where the sun shines so bright. It's even brighter than the SR60 I think. The sounds are okay but sometimes I also want to relax with the...

    AKG K240 sextett recabling suggestions, moved to DIY Cable Questions and Comments Thread

    My AKG K240 sextett's need a new cable and I have decided to add a Y split instead of keeping the original one side cable configuration. I have been reading over the DIY posts for recabling and I have assembled a list for the things that I will need. Hopefully I can get suggestions on the parts...

    AKG K240, K702, Q701 and K712 Balanced Mod

    I just finished converting my lovely AKG K240 Studio headphones from standard 3-wire single end to 4-wire balanced mode. It's pretty easy to replace the headphone jack's Male 3-pin Mini XLR jack with a Male 4-pin Mini XLR jack. For you K701 owners your stock headphone cable is a 4-wire so all...

    My Budget Headphone Odyssey: HD555 vs. SRH440 vs. K240S vs. DJ100

    I, like many who seem to pass through here, am on a "simple" quest: to replace my old mediocre headphones (in my case, 20-year old on-ear Sony MDR-V400) with an affordable (~$100) higher-quality over-ear (circumaural) headphones to use all day at work. Like everyone, I am trying to find the...

    General Thoughts On The AKG K240 MP Sextette And Q701

    Taken From The Audio Journal Of A DigitalFreak: The Video Clip Edition     Please forgive the asinine aspect ratio. My video editing software leave's a lot to be desired.

    What exactly is the AKG K240 Sextett?

    This might sound like a really odd question, but search isn't helping out that much. From pursuing threads and word of mouth I have a good idea about what these sound like, look like, variations, constructions, etc. The problem is that I can't find a post that describes what precisely the...

    Post your AKG K240 mods

    Was wondering if anyone has done any modding to these headphones beyond the earpad replacements. I got tired of the cheap feel of the vinyl against my head so I replaced the headband. Any other k240 modders out there? [/IMG]

    Love AKG K240 Studio, Will I Love K702 More?

    I love the clean, accurate sound of my AKG K240 Studio headphones (unmodified) when combined with an Aune T1 DAC/Amp. Is the K702 similar but more accurate? Is the K702 Anni worth the extra $ ? Thanks for the help.   Rob

    AKG K240 'Sextett'

    The Sextett is the original version of the K240, first made in 1975. It differs from the later versions in that it makes use of a ring of variously-tuned "passive radiators," which are like little driver membranes without voice coils behind them. This tricky and expensive device (also used in a...
