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 »

Best Sounding, Best Looking, Most Expensive Earphones Ever!

bybobby1digital Feb 4, 2006
18 Helpfuls 19 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Exceptionally clear mids, and highs. Extended bass response. VERY comfortable.
Cons Expensive, Bass could be better for price range.
Recommended it? Yes

Let me first start off by saying that I am not the type of person that would normally pay $300 for a set of headphones. As it turned out I had a large store credit burning a hole in my pocket, so I ended up paying $269 for these babies at Ultimate Electronics. All I can say is that these are... Read full review »

Best ear buds I've owned

bydouglw Mar 18, 2006
14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros High quality, great sound, variety of ear pieces, the cord.
Cons Price.
Recommended it? Yes

I once heard something on a commercial that really sticks in my mind: "You'll remember the quality long after forgetting about the price". Yes, I saved the $299 and it hurt spending it on these my Shure e4c's, but they're well worth it. I chose not to save money by buying online because I wanted to... Read full review »
