I have a pair of studio version which I found out its foam discs that cover the drivers (not the earpads) on both sides weren't attached to the drivers at all. Basically the only thing that secured them in place were the earpads themselves. When I took out the earpad the foam just came right...

I thought these came with 2 cables and 2 sets of pads, but I was wrong (must be one of the other variants). I found the coiled cable on the akg website, though I'm not sure if I'll get one. 2 questions: Is the mini XLR connector on the cable and standard jack? I could make my own shorter cable...

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...

Hello,   the sale is canceled.

I've been thinking of buying a set of headphones that I could also use outside, something cheap and sturdy enough to not be afraid of breaking the delicate beauties. But I also want something with clear, detailed, and somewhat neutral sound, because reasons; something close to AKG K240 S (which...

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  ...

Hey guys,     I came across a pretty nice deal on a pair of sextett and am thinking of actually purchase them. I read some great reviews of these, the problem is, most of those reviews are old and quite possibly no longer relevant.. so now at this moment of time (dramatic,lol) is it still...

Hi, this is my very first post here so I apologise if I'm posting in the wrong place. 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 look at page 5 there are schematics for...

Have a short in the 3.5mm jack, the way it is made you can't repair it.  Some type of glue around the solder joints.  Very difficult to try and get off.   Is it possible to buy a replacement jack that will accept the 1/4 screw on adapter.  Or should I get the entire cable?   Any idea of...

Hey guys, I'm thinking about purchasing these. I don't own a pair of flat(ish) headphones, and I thought I should get these after seeing the good reviews of them. Though, no one has ever mentioned how they sound with metal or industrial, because that's what I listen to.  I thought I maybe could...

Hey guys,   Picked up a pair of used K240 MKIIs up from ebay a few a months ago. Over the last 2 days the left side phone has begun to produce a loud hissing noise when playing bass frequencies up to about 120-140hz - the volume is also noticeably lower for this range. I'm assuming this is a...

I was at an estate sale a couple of days ago, and sitting the a table was a pristine pair of AKG K240s headphones.  I snagged them for $5.  I attempted to use them on my MacBook air and my iPhone, but the volume output is super low.  I then amplified them with my Fiio E7 portable amp.  The...

I think I have narrowed my choices down to these two (if there's a better one within the price range of these two let me know!). So which one of these would suit bassy/electric/rock or just music in general? I'm not an audiophile so I'm not really picky, just need a good pair of headphones that...

The AKG K240 isn't necessarily my first step into higher quality headphones. I did order them as a badly needed upgrade to my Bose AE2 headphones. However I've owned a pair of Hifi Man HE-400 headphones a few months ago. I sent them back because I couldn't appreciate the quality and wanted to...

I'm looking for an amp for my new headphones for use on my iPod. Is there a good amp for under 100 dollars?

Hey, Just upgraded to a pair of AKG K240 Studio headphones, and they're great plugged straight into my computer on a Asus Xonar DG.   Listening preferences are Doom Metal and some Classical (violin) music.    I'm thinking about getting a dedicated headphone amp, like the Fiio E10...

  AKG K240 Studio | Comparison & Review So, I've tested the AKG K240s again.  I say "again" because these were actually my first decent headphone, before the AD700s even.  This was many years ago, back when I barely knew anything about headphones and wasn't aware that sites like Head-Fi...

First of all, is this even possible? All of my Flac files are Rock (Boston, Rolling stones, Dire Straits, Killswitch Engage). I've been looking at Grado Sr60i since it's probably the highest I could go right now thanks to college (saw them on OCN used for 60), but I think closed headphones would...

Hello, i am looking for a headphone amplifier that would be noticeable better than asus xonar essence amp, if there is some....in this budget of 200$ I would like to use Asus xonar essence as a dac and some external amp with it.   i would use it with: AKG K 701, K 240 sextett (600 ohm, i...

Im looking to buy my first full size headphones well atleast first of this decade been using iems right now im using a cheap pair but happy with the sound for how i use them meelectronics m9's for a cheap pair i think they sound pretty good considering the price tag   im looking to spend...

Again I am worrying for my K240 Studio...   I received them 5 days ago, I paid 83 $ but what I am listening is not that I was expecting, Bass is uncontrolled you have it when it is not needed AT ALL, Vocals?- dark and muffled, last night I was comparing with M30 end I think that M30 was more...

I just got a set of akg k240 sextett on ebay for 120$ I know akg cans can be hard to drive and these are 600omhs I have a fiio E6 and a pcmcia Audigy 2 ZS in my laptop, do you think that could drive them ? or should I get a better amp ? if that's the case, how would the e7 or one of those...

  So, here's the deal... A friend passed me a pair of drivers out of an AKG K240 Sextett he was refitting. Gray front, red backing. I decided to mount them in a pair of cans I had laying around 'cuz I like the DIY side of things. One of my friends was messing around and sent way too many volts...

My vintage AKG K241 'last sextett hybrid' has a 'sticky' driver.   It seems that when it stops playing for a few minutes the driver gets 'stuck' and will only start playing music again if the song has considerable bass at moderate volume, or I turn the volume up quite high for a moment...

Hey guys,   Thought I'd make this thread here (do tell me if it is in the wrong thread).   I just wanted to ask you those who own(ed), or have used, the AKG K240 MK II before, if these cans perform nicely with R&B, some EDM, acoustic, pop and rock songs?   ALSO, if you own both, these...
