Heaven for ears.. Mixing Legend since 1780s
SEMI Open for excellence sounstaging.. Flat response.. Low sub base response but crystal clear vocals so might not be suitable for all.. crystal clear highs, strong flat mids and deep bass(100hz plus) …external Dac or pre amp recommended.. And if you can afford Sonar works reference app to eq the response for more responsiveness for sub /low bass..(35hz plus). . does my job done for mixing..Also not suitable for noisy environment so room treatment must..

Flattest EQ ever. Great for studios and professionals.
A bit on the bulkier side but it’s very comfortable. Comes with extra goodies like a cable, adapter and velour pads. Built is pretty solid. There is no bass. Flat EQ. Definitely needs to be used with an EQ.

ONLY FOR PROFESSIONALS WHO WANT TO MIX AND MASTER AUDIO.
SO THIS PRODUCT IS ABOUT THE AKG K240.LET ME START FROM THE BUILT QUALITY, HANDLE WITH CARE FOR LONG TERM USE, IF IT IS A PHYSICAL DAMAGE YOU WON’T GET WARRANTY.THE SOUND QUALITY IS FLAT. HIGHS ARE CLEAR MIDS ARE GOOD BUT BASS ARE ENOUGH FOR YOU TO HEAR. THIS HAS AN ALMOST FLAT SOUND STAGE.I AM BUYING THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME AND THE FIRST PRODUCT I GOT DISTORTED TOO MUCH WHEN I INSERTED IN MY AUDIO INTERFACE BUT WHEN THE REPLACEMENT CAME I GOT AMAZED. THE SOUND WAS JUST AWESOME. WIDE SOUND STAGE, EACH ELEMENT ALMOST CAN BE IDENTIFIED IF THE SOUND YOU HEAR IS PROPERLY MIXED.RECOMENDATION: HEAR *HARRIS JAYARAJ TAMIL SONGS* IN YOUTUBE FOR CRYSTAL CLEAR SONGS.HE IS TAMIL INDUSTRY’S BEST SOUND ENGINEER TILL DATE.SO AS SAID IN THE TITLE THIS IS NOT FOR CASUAL LISTENING, BUT IF YOU LOVE FLAT SOUND IT IS OKAY. BUT NO SOUND ISOLATION AS THIS IS A SEMI OPEN BACK HEADPHONES.QUIET ROOM IS NEEDED FOR MIXING OR YOU WILL HEAR ALL THE EXTERNAL NOISE AND OTHERS WILL KNOW WHAT YOU ARE HEARING. SO THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU PLACE YOUR ORDER.LASTLY I BOUGHT IT FOR MIXING MY AUDIO AND THEY DO JUSTICE FOR THEIR PRICE RANGE.THIS NOTE IS ONLY FOR MIXING ENGINEERS. DON’T BLINDLY TRUST THESE HEADPHONES ALWAYS HAVE A CONSUMER GRADE SPEAKER FOR REFERENCE AS YOUR MIX WILL SOUND DIFFERENTLY IN EACH DEVICE.CHEEERS.Edit;It was not suitable for me i returned it. So try it with your audio interfaceinterface.

Beyond Expectations !!
Bought this primarily to practice Electric guitar and secondary for everyday musicAnd man it stands out for both of them. Bang for the price. Lossless from Apple music sounds surreal.For iPhone users disable the Headphone safety limit in settings or else output will be below average.Highly recommend this, if you are into neutral and natural sounds.

Ya existen reseñas muy buenas del producto, asà que me limitaré a dar mi opinión:Sonido.Si lo que buscas son un par de audÃfonos que te permitan escuchar la música tal como fue grabada estos te servirán. Sin ser ingeniero en sonido, músico, ni audiófilo (palabrita muy popular recientemente), debo decir que sà soy un poco exigente con la música que escucho, y estos audÃfonos no decepcionan.Siento los agudos y los medios muy balanceados, nunca me han molestado las fluctuaciones como para tener que bajar el volumen, y los escucho bastante claros. Los bajos son otra historia. Estos sà se sienten un poco flojos, especialmente en algunos tipos de música, no los siento tan “ricos” como en otros audÃfonos ni tan profundos, pero eso para mà no es una desventaja.Al tener un sonido bastante plano me han permitido escuchar algunas sutilezas que no habrÃa podido con audÃfonos de menor calidad. Por ejemplo, al escuchar dos interpretaciones diferentes de la misma pieza de guitarra puedo escuchar la diferencia entre ellas no solamente por la manera de tocar del músico, sino también por detalles como si está usando las uñas o los dedos para tocar, algo que si bien no me es importante, es interesante notar.Para géneros como rap, electrónica y metal no me encantan. Los bajos no suenan tan divertidos ni profundos y a mi parecer a los medios y agudos les falta un poco de “ataque” que hace muy disfrutables estos géneros en otros audÃfonos.Comodidad.Aquà flaquean un poco, la banda que se apoya sobre la cabeza es una tira de vinil un tanto gruesa pero muy flexible aunque sin nada de colchón, lo que los hace un poco incómodos después de varias horas de uso. Las almohadillas son grandes, rodean perfectamente mis orejas (que son bastante grandes) y no ejercen mucha presión a pesar de que uso lentes, sin embargo al ser de vinil después de alrededor de dos horas de uso causan que comience a sudar y tenga que dejar de utilizarlos por unos minutos. CambiarÃa las almohadillas por unas aterciopeladas como las de los BD.Portabilidad.Como casi todos los audÃfonos de este estilo, no son NADA portables. Están diseñados para escuchar música en un lugar fijo, cuentan con un cable largo, son bastante voluminosos y no se doblan ni cuentan con un estuche para transportarlos. Si deseas utilizarlos en el transporte público, mientras caminas o peor, en el gimnasio o en bici, no son el producto para ti.Estética.Son negro con dorado, bastante llamativos. No me encanta la combinación de colores, de ser completamente negros me gustarÃan mucho más, aunque qué se le va a hacer, si comprara audÃfonos por estética hubiese comprado otra marca.Conclusión.No he probado mejores audÃfonos que me brinden el sonido (plano) y calidad que estos AKG. Me gusta como suenan, los puedo usar por periodos prolongados de tiempo sin que me lastimen y en fin, los pros sobrepasan a los contras por mucho. Si deseas adentrarte en el mundo de los audÃfonos “para audiófilos” me parece una buena entrada de bajo costo y buena calidad. Si quieres algo más “divertido” y no tan plano, puedes encontrar otras marcas por menores y mayores precios, en gustos se rompen géneros y no todos buscan máxima fidelidad a la hora de escuchar su música. Cómpralos, no te vas a arrepentir, y si lo haces, no gastaste 5k< en un par de audÃfonos que no utilizarás.

I am a recording engineer/producer and I owned a pair of these in the 80’s and literally wore the pads out to the point I had to toss ’em. Back then, we had no internet or Amazon and I was unaware if I could even get replacement pads. I always thought I would just buy another brand new pair from the pro music shop again(which is where I bought them initially) but just never did. I remember it was a sad day when I threw them out.I remember one time when one of the pads finally completely gave up the ghost and I wore them throughout an hours-long mixing session to the point my ears were losing skin and near bleeding because of rubbing on the hard plastic grill. Ouch. Yeah, I loved them THAT MUCH for mixing along with my Near-fields.Anyway, I got my new pair today, shipping was super fast and OMG… how have I lived without these for so long? They sound better, in my opinion, than my $350 pair of Sennheiser’s I’ve grown so accustomed to for the past decade or more.There is a reason these have been, and will remain, an industry standard in studios all around the world. They have an amazing flat response yet maintain such a rich sound at this price point that you just can’t beat them if you are budget-minded like me.I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE HEADPHONES for clarity and equal separation of frequencies across the full spectrum for engineers looking for a great mixing/referencing set of open-back headphones.BTW, I HAVE used these for tracking vocals as well without problems. (Even though so many people say you should never do it) Just turn ’em down a bit and with some simple fade-in/fade-out editing wizardry any competent engineer can do on vocal tracks will make any noticeable bleed disappear if you know what you are doing in your DAW. A lazy producer will yield lazy-sounding productions. There’s no need to even mention “bleed” if you pull up your big-boy pants and DO some simple fade-edits.These headphones are way to comfortable and sound too good to just write them off as a pair of “never use for tracking” headphones because of “bleed”.It is a great day in my world today! I am SO HAPPY with this long overdue re-purchase of this incredible product. I have missed you my old friend! Indeed I HAVE!
Review-Fi –
I picked up a pair of AKGs back in November on sale for $[…] to substitute my Paradigm Monitor speakers while I am not at home. After much scrutiny, I picked the AKG K271 MKII; while it is not the most recent model released by the company, it offers the same sound quality and more. To put it bluntly, I was extremely satisfied.To start, the most important aspect of headphones (aka cans) of this nature: sound quality. The general consensus is that AKG is very muddy in the bass while being very bright on the high end. While the stereotype may be true in some models, the headphones are fantastic at covering the entire spectrum from muddy to crisp. I will have to agree the highs are bright, but nothing that can’t be fixed to your liking in an equalizer. When I first started listening to them, I experienced the “wow, I’v never noticed that cymbal hit before” symptom. I could (and have) lay on my bed listening to music for hours, completely enveloped in music; the downside is the drop in external perception leads to being very startled by visitors.While an impedance of 55 Ohms doesn’t necessarily call for a headphone amp, I picked one up just to see the difference. The PA2V2 was recommended to me, so I emailed the gentleman over at Electric-Avenue.com and bought one. The K271 and PA2v2 pair nicely with each other: boosting the bass and bringing out the sound as a whole, without the amp I had most audio outputs turned very high up. The amp has also been nice to have for all my headphones, but more to come on that in the PA2v2 full review.The build of the headphones is solid and I don’t feel like I’m going to break them. I quite enjoy the features that have been integrated into these headphones, from them turning off when you take them off, to a small slit allowing for easy earpad replacement. To begin, the auto adjusting headband: size fitting to everyone, the band being pushed up also enables the sound to come through the drivers. The K271 also comes with a detachable cable, so you can have the long studio cable, or the spiral stretch cable (and you don’t have to worry about wrapping the cable around the cans). Lastly, the cans come with leatherette or velour eapads: I personally use the velour as they warm the bass and are very comfortable.After reading through hundreds of reviews for AKG, Grado, Sennheiser, and Beyerdynamic, I cut my final choice down to the AKG K271 and K272. The difference? A whole bunch of accessories, color, and price. The K272 retails at $329 on amazon, comes in black with a 1/4 inch adapter and Velour ear pads. The K271 MKII retails at $151 on amazon, comes in dark blue with a 1/4 inch adapter, Leatherette and Velour ear pads, detachable 3m cable and 5m coiled cable.After about 70 hours of listening these cans have burned in to sound even better than when I first got them, and I strongly recommend them if you’re looking for this style. (Note: these headphones can’t really be used for DJing)[…].
