NEW AKG K240MKII Semi-Open Headphone for Studio Monitor - eBay (item 250251168385 end time May-29-08 20:13:48 PDT)

I remember seeing pictures of AKGs revised headphone lineup but this is the first one I have seen for sale in the US. Has anybody heard these yet? Are they basically the same as the old 240?

I dont think many will even bother to buy it from ebay... cause this is the MK2s... they are on sale probably everywhere

Which one?

i imagine they have made it worse than the k240 studio to cut costs? so now the studio's value will double!

I was actually looking into this myself today and saw this posted on the AKG forums:

"271 MKII is an update and has the same drivers(XXL Varimotion)/specs as the 271S, along with the 272 HD. Basically the 271 MKII are the same headphones, only a different color, "hint of blue" i hear. They all also have that auto shut off switch on the head band - when you pull them off your head, they magically mute themselves. Also, they (MKII) come with the velour and leather-like ear surrounds, the regular cable and the coiled one."

Hope that helps.

Most would have to reterminate it... looks interesting.

Edit: Detachable input cable with locking mini-XLR connector makes transportation and servicing easy

I need to read more throughly.

That's for a different headphone. There is a separate write-up on the AKG site for the new K240 MKII.
