Studio Standards For Any Headphone Jack! The K 240 have emerged as the standard for precision listening in the studio. For over twenty years, professional engineers and musicians have made the AKG K 240 headphones the best selling and most widely used headphones in large studios, sound stages, and orchestras around the world. Reliable, comfortable and true, the K 240 Studio headphones from AKG lend well to professional and project studios alike. AKG K240 Studio at a Glance: Low impedance driver - for use with any headphone jack Plug-in cable Semi-open, circumaural design Low Impedance Driver = Better, Louder Sound So, how does AKG improve on a standard headphone? Featuring a new, low impedance XXL transducer with patented AKG Varimotion technology, the K 240 Studio headphones deliver a more accurate signal transfer and greater dynamic range than previously possible. Most importantly, the AKG K 240 Studio headphones play louder than ever before - on ANY system! Plug-In Cable The AKG K 240 Studio features a plug-in cable with mini XLR connector. This AKG innovative and professional design is especially of benefit if the cable is ever damaged. Instead of purchasing a new set of AKG K 240 Studio headphones, you only have to replace the cable (saving you money!). Semi-Open, Circumaural Design Semi-open headphones, such as the AKG K 240 Studio, combines the best features of both closed or sealed headphones and open air designs and relatively few or none of their disadvantages. Through careful attention to the control of resonances, a surprisingly realistic stereo sound field is developed, coupled with low distortion and extended low frequency response. Circumaural headphones encircle the ear, and provide a good seal. The AKG K 240 Studio are comfortable to wear, provide good isolation, and result in a consistent sound from one wearing to another. Bass extension is excellent with the AKG K 240 Studio because a very good air seal can be made against the head. AKG K240 Studio Features: Dynamic headphones. Circumaural, semi-open Self-adjusting headband for optimum fit Frequency Range: 15 Hz to 25,000 Hz Sensitivity: 91 db SPL/mW Power handling capability: 200 mW Rated impedance: 55 Ohm Cable: 3m (10 ft.) plug-in cable Stereo adapter: gold plated, screw-on 3,5/6,3mm (1/8" to 1/4") jack Net Weight (without cable): 240 g (8.5 oz.) AKG K240 Studio headphones. An upgrade in studio headphone quality! Customer Reviews  One of the best for over two decades   by D. Scott Hampton from Jacksonville, FL, June 28, 2007 Music Background:  Recording Technician, Musician. “I purchased my first two pairs of K240s back in 1985 for a small studio. Even with all the changes in technology since then, these are still one of the best in the market . Audio detail, frequency response, and accuracy compare to headphones costing much more. I've owned and used Sony, Sennheiser, Grado, and other brands over the years, and I still use the 240's on a regular basis. One other...” Read More • Click Here to Read More Customer Reviews • Write Your Own Review Sweetwater Expert Advice     "The semi-open design of the K240s make them perfect when I want a "breathable" mix that allows me to hear some of my natural voice. They've been ideal for my radio voiceover work!" Ron Daniel   "These are the studio standard, and have been for years. They cost more 10 years ago than they do today, plus, they now have a quick disconnect replaceable cable. Great sound from AKG, and extremely comfortable." Brian Cravens   "K240s have been a studio standard for years. Really a true standard in many ways!" Kenny Bergle   "What a great value! The accurate response of the K240s makes mixing a breeze. For under $175.00, you can't find another pair of headphones as detailed and as accurate as these."
