Review on AKG K240 Studio Professional Headphones Bundle with Hard Shell Case - Superior Sound and Protection (2 Items) by Jiang Anson (Jiang J ᠌

If you don’t know what a headphone amplifier is and why you need it, then it’s better to look for other headphones . For this money, I don’t know more interesting options for branded headphones. You can search among the clones. Someone in the comments wrote that the Superlux HD668B (aka AXELVOX HD242 on the 2022 market) is much better, but in fact it is not. The Superlux HD668B are excellent headphones, they cost a little less, are slightly worse made, they have raised edges of the range compared to AKG (brighter highs and more pronounced lows), worse detail and control at lows. But they are less demanding on amplification, they will play louder on any source and will suit an inexperienced music lover better. There is also a complete clone in design - Superlux HD681. These have completely turned up high frequencies, blurry low frequencies and noticeably worse detail . If compared with the more expensive and well-known beyerdynamic dt 770 pro (or dt 990 pro), then the buyers win in terms of microdynamics, have strongly pronounced high frequencies and inflated low frequencies, though in unlike the Superlux, the basses do not lose control on the bass and sound "sterile", they are suitable for listening to details in phonograms, but they can tire with bright highs and bottoms. Summary: AKG 240 Studio are good headphones at a good price, balanced in sound, not with a record, but acceptable detail from listening to which you can enjoy . if only you have something to "rock" them with
