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...

Hi,   i found these fully functional heaphone plugged into the LP of my grandfather who didn't use it much. They look nearmint and have no visible damages. I did a little research and I guess that these are the famous sextett heaphones.   I would appreciate if somebody could verify my...

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...

Hi,   I'm very interested in owning these again.   If you want to sell me yours, please contact me!   Cheers,   Victor

I am wanting to replace my stock pleather pads for my akg k240. I see some threads about kt88 pads but can't find any pads on ebay or here. Anyone know where to find the kt88 or any pads?

Just got these recently and I have to say they sound downright sad of a a laptop headphone jack. A bit better out of the Fiio E6, but still not enough. I didn't realize until now how badly hard-to-drive phones depend on amps... *note* these are the 600ohm version   I'd like to find an amp...

I've been doing some recording (guitar) with a Mac and an Ipad and I'm tired of using cheap headphones. I've got an old pair of 600 ohm K240's that I used to record back in the eighties and I would like to get an amp so I could use them again. I need an amp that has 3.5mm ins and outs and enough...

I'm looking at buying either one of these models to listen to records at home with. Which ones would you recommend for casual listening and why? I listen to mostly psych rock and electronic music as well as folk if that helps at all. Thanks in advance.

I started working at this stereo shop in Denver, and in the back I saw two pairs of these hanging. I took a pair to listen, the elastics were gone, the headband in not too good shape, but whatever. Got it home, one driver worked, other dead. So I went back for the other pair next day, headband...

I recently got a pair of these and was very surprised to find them very neutral sounding contrary to views on here of them being bassy.  I find the bass to be well integrated with the rest of the frequencies and not emphisised at all though maybe with some more burn in the bass will come out...

Hey, this is my first comparison between two different headphones as it's the first time I've ever had two proper headphones to compare. I'm sorry if I'm not good at explaining the differences that well or using proper terms as I'm new to the audiophile world. Note I don't have an amp currently...

Trying to find some new pads for the K240M I'm wondering if the ones designed for K240S and MKII fit on the Monitor version. Thanks.

So I've been looking around, and I think I've decided on the AKG K240's I'm going to have around $200, I will be able to go over this though. They're going to be about $115. With the left over $85 I am thinking of getting a FiiO E10?    Would you recommend anything different to this...

I've had my K240 for a few months and I'm loving it. But I was curious as to whether or not an amp would be useful with it, as it does seem a bit quiet at times. I've never owned or used a headphone amp before, so I'm not sure if it's an absolute necessity with mine, I'd love to get some...

I am not an Audiophile, meaning i do not work with sound professionally.   I do use a bit of time on sound, and at my old job at Bang & Olufsen worked a lot around people that worked professional with it.   I tend to love good Treble and a Precise bass, not a soft bass, so im still in...

Hello,   I currently own some AKG K240S cans but am looking into upgrading to some Sennheiser HD650's when I get the money. However, before I invest in some new headphones, I want to try out my current ones with a dedicated amp. Are there any amps that would pair well with both the AKGs and...

  Is the AKG K550 are an improvement over the AKG K240 MK2?   I love the signature sound of the AKG K240, and if possible improve them without losing their signature sound would be excellent.

So I just joined the Head-fi forums after reading two buying guides for headphones. I settled on the AKG K240's. I like them, but I get some interesting results, that I'm sure will make sense to someone more experienced than I.   - When I plug them into my android, I get mediocre volume...

I know that the Shures aren't exactly full size ;) BUT! I am going to have some money soon, and I found a good price on the AKGs: $84.70 plus 20 bucks shipping. The SE215s always are that price, so i have no idea which one to go for! I would mostly be listening to music like Metallica but I...

I live in Canada and I am wondering where I can order the velvet pads (the ones that come with the mkii) for my studios, without getting ripped off. I've been using the leatherette ones that are included for a long time but they get sweaty and aren't super comfortable. I'm also open to other pad...

I think that I'm severely underpowering my K240 Studios and that's part of the reason why I can't stand to listen to them. I'm willing to take a chance on an amp for them as I need one anyways.   I have an E7 so I have been looking at the FiiO E9 pretty much exclusively (as I won't need to...

I am planning to buy a USB amp for my headphones. I usually listen to music and play games. Are there any USB amps that are good for music and gaming for my headphones? I use a laptop btw. Are the Asus Xonar U3 any good?

Today I scored a pair of (what I'm pretty sure are) K240's off of CL for $10.   The only thing is they have no badges identifying what model they are. (Monitors or Studios?)   Here's what I know... -600 ohm -Gold rings -Single entry cord which is fairly stiff and has "ribbing" that...

Hey guys I'm kind of new to this site so I was wondering if you could help me out. I recently bought the AKG k240s 55ohms model two  months ago and I really enjoy it. However for some of the albums I heard distortions at the higher volumes. I usually listen to jazz and a little classical(mostly...
