Review on 🎧 AKG K240 STUDIO Professional Studio Headphones: Semi-Open Over-Ear Design, Removable Cable, Varimotion Technology for Enhanced Bass Response. Includes Alphasonik Earbuds. by Miriam Davis

First I'd like to share my audio preferences to put the review in perspective. I'm a drummer and I don't usually use flat EQ. I like hearing both bass and treble very clearly. I'm extremely sensitive to distortion and can't stand messy sound reproduction. I use them as portable headphones with an MP3 player (creative zen). I listen to different styles of music: rock, blues, hip-hop, folk, jazz, classical and choir. I used to use Sennheiser PX100 (great headphones) but I wanted something better. These AKG K 81 DJ phones are fantastic. They cost twice as much as the PX 100 but are definitely better. The AKGs have a very warm and deep sound, they are very clean and I really like the frequency distribution. The bass is definitely there, but not overly bass-heavy (unlike the smaller AKG K 26 P) and has a very good balance of highs and lows. Kind of for portable headphones but I can't turn down the sound quality so I'll just deal with that. Due to their rather low impedance, they work great with portable players, so I can continue to use them as such. It's true that they can be a bit tight for a big head. I have a pretty small head so that's not a problem for me. I actually run in them and they don't slide at all. They isolate noise better than regular open-back headphones. several headphones in the last year.
