I just won some AKG's on ebay yesterday for $50, the seller didn't state what model but they appear to be the 240's . Did I get a good deal?

I just got my K701s. I think that they sound absolutely brain-meltingly awesome! On the other hand, they are my first good 'phones (first over $100, in fact!), so in fairness I don't know how other brands compare.
The only negative I have found is an issue with comfort during very extended (over 1-1/2 hours) listening sessions.

I just got K319 and K702 not long ago.

My new K702 is requiring as much burn in hours as per my earlier K701....

Had some k701's. I liked them, but they were flawed. Currently have some 240 sextetts, and they suit my tastes pretty well.

No surprise, since they use the same drivers.

A couple hundred hours down the road, and they will be even more enjoyable..

Just got my brand new K702 and sounds great right out of the box

Can't even think how good they will be after burn in

burning in my new k701 for the past week. loving the sound.

 

[OutdoorXplorer]

I have clocked approx 150 hours and and it should reach 200+ next week and just in time to test out the new tubes I bidded off eBay...

Got my AKG K 272 HD last week and have about 100 hours of burn in and the bass is coming alive. I am loving them. Very happy with my AKG purchase.

 

[digitalfrog]

^^^^^ Got the same, AKG K 272 HD.

They are changing FAST, and I read everywhere that they are well known for been flat, liveless and without bass....

I don't get it, I like them. But I will go to a meeting to meet other headfi gurus and will have the opportunity to listen to higher gear .... we will see if I will still like my 272 after that

Are the pads washable by the way ?

 

[eam88]

im not sure about them being washable. to clean them i just rub them against each other to take off any lint or anything like that...works pretty well

As I read this, I thought I'd try try removing the cushions with a slight counterclockwise twist, like I read about in another thread. They come off easily, and seem to be made of plastic, foam, and fabric. So I'd think they will be hand washable with something mild like Woolite, and a good rinse and air dry.

Edit: I didn't realise you were talking about another model, not the 701's I just got.
