The ER-4 MicroPro(tm) earphones from Etymotic are the next best thing to live music, with noise isolation far surpassing that of active-noise-reduction earphones. The ER-4's require no batteries, and can be plugged into any audio source. Their 20-25 dB of external noise exclusion allows you to hear the full dynamic range of recordings without having to play them at unnaturally high and unsafe levels. Less
The sound of the K 240 M (for "monitor") is tipped toward the bass, with recessed highs and not as much detail as newer models. Plus, at 600 ohms, they're tough to drive.... More

The Purchase

I had been looking for some new headphones to replace my Sony MDR-D22s. The Sonys sounded fine, but they were too big for me to carry around with my mp3 CD player. The Sonys were also semi-open, meaning that some sound leaked in from outside, and some of my music leaked out... Read full review »

B is for bright!

Pros Great with binaural recordings
Cons very limited use, bright with stereo recordings
Recommended it? Yes

The Etymotic ER4B is the most specialized of Etymotics 3 ear phones. Designed to work with binaural recordings, their equalization circuit compensates for the rolled off high frequencies lost due to the binaural process. These recordings use a dummy head with microphones in the ears to record the... Read full review »

Pros Precision highs and lows, crystal clear clarity, comfortable.
Cons Perhaps a little pricey for the average audiophile.
Recommended it? Yes

I remember the very first time I used a pair of ?professional? headphones. I was at the house of a self-professed audiophile and I grudgingly slid the monstrosities over my head. Up until this point in my musical life, I had only used headphones that came pre-packaged with the half-dozen or so... Read full review »

AKG K240DF - the best reference headphones I know.

bymeatex z Aug 22, 2004
14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros The best professional reference sound.
Cons High impedance, vintage construction.
Recommended it? Yes

This review is dedicated to the one and only AKG K240DF headphones - for some reason Epinions have no distinction between several types of 240 series' models.

AKG brand name is usually associated with hi-end studio microphones and headphones. While they still produce variety of lower-cost... Read full review »
