my buddy at work has them, and the midrange is really quite someting.  they do female vocals wonderfully.

I agree, they're very underrated and they're not as picky about amp power as my K501s are.

UP-OCC, solid silver re-cabled K501 here.  The game stopper for all my midrange needs.  : ) 

I'm planning to recable mine with that SoniKleer cables sold at e-bay.
Or should I just go with APureSound cables?

K701, K501 and K26P

i just finished re-furbing a pair of K240 DF with new headband, elastics, dual entry Mogami re-cable, and Beyer velour pads.  an excellent HP.  my next AKG will be a K501.

K701 (recable with Equinox) & K240 Sextett LP (recable dual entry with Denon Pad)

AKG 242 HDs here. Just received them a few days ago so they are far from broken in. I am no audiophile, but these things have a very good soundstage as far as I can tell. Not to mention the fact that they look pretty darn cool. Listening to them via my Marantz CD5003 with no amp.

K501 here, with solid silver UP-OCC re-cable.  My, what midrange!  : )

I recently joined team AKG with the K240 Sextetts (MP). What a way to start, eh?

 

[palindrom]

Yep, K240 Sextett, probably MP. They will *shine* when I finish restoration.

 

[foet]

k702 (hated the white on the 701 ) and have some K280 and 240MP incomming.
Hopefully also a k340 in pristine condition when I find someone in the UK..

 

[JeckyllAndHyde]

just added those babies to my collection. they sound wonderful (I actually didnt expected them to sound THAT good

 

[palindrom]

These are nice!
 
Today I collected my headphones from a friend of mine. Unfortunately I don't have any adapters or plugs with me. Grrrr... :/

 

[clc77]

AKG K240M, K240 MP Sextett, K518LE (for now..) and love them all

I'm in.  Searched this thread, I'm the only on here with K450 in my arsenal?  Very amazing sound out of these headphones.  I only wish that I could find the special adapter for the end that plugs into the headphone, so that I can make a custom cable or two.  Plus, the cable is detachable for no reason, since they shelved the bluetooth adapter project. 
 
I also have:
-K240 Studio - First AKG I bought.  Amazing sound.  Bass as good as any of the DJ headphones you see in stores (Sony, Memorex, JVC, etc)
-fuchsia K518 LE - $36 on ebay, ridiculous bass!  Fun to listen to, but can't be wearing glasses with these
-K316 - the over-ear clip keeps them on in a motorcycle helmet, but they don't block out all noise like IEMs would
 
I also bought my girlfriend a pair of JBL 430, which are amazing, despite the looks. Man, they have punch.  They have as good sound as my K450, but a little less analytical.  This, strangely, allows you to hear the separation between instruments a little better.  They're actually the first headphone I bought, on clearance for her because she only had the free earphones that came free with music players, besides being a fairly serious musician.  I was so impressed with the quality that I ended up learning about AKG and becoming a convert.  Have been overall impressed.  I even bought my little brother a pair of new old stock K27i that I found for $30.  For the first time, he can stand on-ear headphones.  Besides one pair of Ultrasone and one pair of Sennheiser, I'm an all-Harman headphone guy.

By the way, is there any definitive evidence about the drivers in AKG?  We have K141, K171, K240, K271.  So, those 4 are, in order: on-ear open, on-ear closed, over-ear open, over-ear closed.  While they are different in that respect, are they all the same drivers?
 
Plus, is there a difference in drivers between K240 and K240 Mk II, besides aesthetically (color), coming with another cable, plus both velour and pleather pads?
