Hi, I just purchased the AKG K240 MKII headphones and they sound unbelievable (except for some cracklig noises at times, but I think it's from the songs I was listening to [also one of them was being watched from youtube]). What I would like to know is what would a great amp be for under $100...

Hi everyone. Thanks to this forum on last December I bought my first pair of "good" ear cans (AKG K240 MKII). Usually I plug them in my old and cheap portable cd/mp3 player or in an iPad1 with the app "Capriccio" (it plays flac and has a nice ten bands equalizer), expecially for those which...

Hello everybody....it's been a long time since I've posted here (2 years ago was the last time I think). And once again, I'm looking for some advice.   I own (still own since I joined this website years ago) 2 pairs of headphones (over the ear headphones). The AKG K240 MKII and the Ultrasone...

hey..   I really want to try something new.    At the moment i own a set of K550 AKG´s K240Studio (MKI) and a set of Creative Aurvana simply because they were cheap, so used when im at work..   I drive them with my E17 FIIO and my sound card, a Asus ESSENCE STX...    Happy with...

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!  ...

I recently purchased a pair of AKG K240's for classical - namely string/orchestral. They are shipping right now, and I was wondering if they would benefit from a dac/amp, to replace the usage of my computer's onboard audio (dell latitude). Any good recommendations for a dac/amp, and is one...

I'm new to this, as you can see. I adore my AKG K240 studio, which I use un-amped out of my iPhone 4, but there are things I hope could be improved. I want a bigger soundstage, and most importantly, more comfort - the AKG is a bit clamping. I was thinking of the Sennheiser HD598 (which I...

Long story short, I bought the akg k240s back in November, the headphones are pretty decent. But last week, I got a used sennheiser hd555 for dirt cheap. After doing the foam+sound stage mod, I really liking the sennheiser. There is no reason to keep both pairs of same grade headphones right...

Hello   Currently I have two headphones: AKG K240S and Audio-Technica ATH-M30 and want to upgrade my onboard Realtek ALC270 which itself claims capability to produce even 24 bit 192 kHz sound. I am guessing that those specifications mean nothing. Is it possible that cheap entry level laptop...

Hi I just got the AKG K240 MKII and I was wondering what the burn time is for these things. Also this would be my first time burning my headphones so is there any music in particular and volume I should set it on???

Thanks for your inputs! 

I stupidly forgot to note what the ground terminal is and what signal is before I desoldered the original cable.  I left the original red and white cables attached to the driver.  Can some one tell me which one is signal and which one is ground?  Or, does it even matter?   Thanks, Mat

I'm thinking of getting some AKG K242HDs, would be used for PC gaming (and movies and music). Anyone here having any gaming experience with the AKG K240/242s?

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

Hey folks,   I have a pair of AKG k240 studio cans that I use for recording and mixing my own music. Recently they suddenly had this issue, where it seems that there is some serious phase cancellation going on whenever I listen through them. The sound of any audio is badly disfigured, with...

Hey there guys,     Another "which headphones?!" thread, and input from owners would be amazing. Currently my go-to headphone is the K830BT and K501 (I had to sell everything else. major downgrade yeah I know) I got tired of how the K450 sounded, veiled and muddy. Though... Now I am in need...

  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...

Hey, new to the forums and wanted to start by asking a quick question.  I'm wondering if I could get some opinions on the aforementioned cans for my own personal needs.     -Price range is a non issue in this case.   -I'm looking to use the headphones for mixing and so I'm definitely...

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...

Hello,   the sale is canceled.

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...
