AKG K 240 MK II semi-open studio handset (Electronics)

Customer Review

Sound: +
The headset is used multifunctional with me: for movies, music (querbeet by genre) and the electric guitar eavesdropper. The sound quality is perfectly fine for me - but my headphone preamp is not bad either.
I think I have a pretty sensitive hearing concerns which peaks in the frequency response. When K240 anything yet I noticed what had annoyed me frequency technology. (If only annoying thing you can possibly ask whether the song was not simply produces bad. Then to hear possibly with other headphones). For Bass: I hear also like Electric, Go, and the bass is good doing absolutely me.
The semi-open design, which should be clear to everyone before purchasing, leaves ambient noise penetrate to the ear. So if you want wegbeamen really in the subway, should rather resort to a closed handset or turn up really loud.
If the sound the only one who could get K240 MkII from me 5 stars.

Equipment: +
Ich finds well the AKG two cable attaches made pluggable means already mentioned mini XLR connector. It is a plain cord and spiral cord here.
Also in the package is still a couple of ear cushions made of velor included. A screw-jack adapter is also included.

Processing: -
Well, I think the cable that appears to be robust. It still works even though I'm already about 30 times over it drove to the office chair (hard plastic on floor, no, that does not belong to, I know)
The leatherette ear pads have already become cracked a 3/4 year after purchase with me. I have cared for but. Never in any form They have also never claimed beyond measure.
The plastic strap that rests on top of the head is in my opinion too hard. One with cushion would have much liked better.
The biggest design mistakes (and there goes with me hautptsächlich matter of principle: it should in the price range really is not) for me is that the lower plastic button where "K240 MKII" draufsteht abuts against the aluminum plate on the external ear - as a kind of limit switches for the AKG rubber band system.
Explanation: The upper button where "L" or "R" it says in its guide can indeed move all the way down, but not all the way up, because then strikes the other button on the aluminum. You can even see in the product images. In other AKG products with the same spring suspension that is better resolved. Since the pin in the guide can move in both end positions. It would have helped me a little bit of comfort, since the upper end-point would have enabled a minimal better fit. So I attach the shells to bit down on the ears xD
Find I already kind of sad things, well, a bit funny ...

Comfort: -
This is of course highly subjective, as the head shape of the people but is very different. My head complains to extended wear (4 hours) with aching ears with me. I have the imitation leather upholstery now replaced by the velor. Possibly from me it an addendum if so adjusts improvement.

So there is of me 3:49 star.
