Yeah, I used to own a pair, quite good, liked them more than the K701, sold them to a friend of mine.
From my experience this should be exactly the same as the K240MKII and the K240s
compared to the K240s, the K240 has a tamed bass, which is not as boomy as the K240s.
Which is due to the velour pads. The pleather have a bigger hole and the material is of course quite different.
Don't like the velours on my Sextett, but the tonal ballance of the stock K242HD is quite nice indeed.
wouldn't dare to use a semi-open can while commuting though. Loud train is loud... .etc

There's still an odd AKG unsung hero can here and there, namely
the AKG 242HD - $200USD and no one wants a bar of them as
their portable pair ~ you can keep the M50, I'd take these any day.
