At the top of the Grado line, the RS1 escort you right into the middle of the musical presentation. Instead of being in the the room with the music, you're onstage with the band. Their dynamic presentation hits you hard and leaves you running to catch up. They deliver detailed highs and mids, along with tight bass. They are moderately comfortable, but for a more comfy fit you can bend the glove leather-covered headband. We should add that although the RS1 are the best headphones on the market for use directly out of a portable, for a more stunning musical ride you should use an amp. 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

Recommended it? Yes

Before purchasing these headphones a number of months ago, I had been using the Grado SR-125s, and I had been blown away by their sound each and every time I heard them since I bought them a little more than 6 months before that.

But let me take a step back and explain to you how and why... Read full review »

Come listen to what you've been missing with AKG k 240 headphones!

byfm_hunter Feb 23, 2001
50 Helpfuls 51 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
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 »
