AKG Pro Audio K240 STUDIO Over-Ear, Semi-Open, Professional Studio Headphones

• Do not get these to listen to music, podcasts, watch movies, tv shows, audio books, or any kind of audio entertainment. And especially don\'t get this for porn! I\'ll explain why further down. This device is for professionals only. If you\'re not mastering or producing audio projects from music to podcasts etc, then you have no business here.Put it this way. I have the AKG N60, which is way more expensive than the AKG K240s. I use the AKG N60 to listen to music, because music sounds way better on the AKG N60 than the AKG K240. When I make beats beats, I use the AKG K240. Because the sounds are more clear. It is easier to know how to pan and how to EQ sounds and their frequencies using the AKG K240 than on the N60. The N60 is meant for entertainment and chill. The AKG K240s is meant for work. Plain and simple. So if you\'re looking for entertainment headphones use the money you were going to use for this and buy headphones made for entertainment. If you\'re a producer, and you\'re here to WORK with professional studio/monitor headphones under $100 or under $80, this is for you. If you\'ve made the mistake to get these for entertainment purposes, you will be disappointed and find the audio quality to be cheap. And that\'s your fault for not listening to the pros or doing your research. So if you\'re here for entertainment no need to read further, move on with your life and find something else. If you\'re here to WORK, please read on.Now that we have that out of the way and the civilians are gone, let\'s get to WORK. If you want great fantastic studio/monitor headphones that gives you musical orgasmic experiences, you want something that costs hundreds and hundreds of dollars. But if you want to get the job done and are under a strict budget, you\'re going to fall in love with these guys. Especially if you buy fluffier ear pad replacements like I did. Its so fluffy! And made the sound a bit more roomier, but also less punchy, and less pronounced, because the little speakers are further away from your ear. But somehow it makes the sounds clearer if you will, I\'m guessing because its roomier with fluffier ear pads. Now, there\'s nothing wrong with the default ear pads. They are comfortable giving you hours of play. I mean WORK. I just took that extra step. Fluffier ear pads allow you to play even longer. I\'m sorry, I mean WORK. Though not sure how healthy that is, breaking night because you cant stop creating, exploring and perfecting sound. These headphones are def! ;)A few things to keep in mind as an audio engineer. These are no good for LIVE recording, or wearing these as you record vocals or instruments like a guitar or piano, etc. The reason being is because they are semi-open. Which means the sound purposely leaks out of the headphones and will leak into the mic, totally messing up your recording! For those you want closed studio headphones, not the AKG K240s. Now if you\'re making beats, mixing tracks, mastering audio projects, editing a podcast/interviews etc, these are perfect!Let me explain this leakage in terms most can understand. If you want to listen to >>>PORN<<< privately without disturbing people next door, like your parents or other family members, these are a very poor choice! You can hear the noise leakage outside of your room from the other side of the door! So in short, if your place in making music is recording in a sound booth, stay away from the AKG K240\'s! The K240 is for those who work outside of the booth. The noise leakage helps in making the sounds clearer because it gives the sounds more room rather than trapping the sounds. Helps in panning, EQueing, etc. It\'s also helpful in hearing a potential attacker like Jason, Pennywise or Michael Myers stepping up behind you, giving you a chance at survival. But since you\'ll be working so hard, the chances of you falling asleep on your chair and falling prey to Freddy Krueger are very high! So if you feel tired, do the right thing. Turn everything off and go to bed. Your head will be more clear for the next time you tackle your audio projects. And Freddy isn\'t really into responsible audio engineers. Or is he?One other thing I want to share, that I didn\'t know about these babies. This is no baby!! These headphones represent the birth of Generation X. Disco, Rap, Heavy Metal, House, Punk etc. The AKG K240s is basically a remix of the original 1975 K240 Sextett. And its exact look and golden colors make it a replica of the 1984 K240M.These were used by producers who worked for many legends who came to be during the birth and revolution of digital music. Let that sink in, for all of you 808 Trap heads out there. Yup.One thing to think about for Trap beat enthusiasts. People who know more than me, say these aren\'t that great for listening to bass music. That\'s kind of redundant information being that these aren\'t meant for chilling to music. They\'re meant for real work. Anyhow, imagine perfecting the most righteous 808 kick bass sound with the K240 and then mastering and mixing everything together so it all sounds perfect. Then imagine how that would sound to people listening to it through hifi speakers or headphones meant for listening to music and how insanely extra bass heavy it will sound while still sounding clear with all the sounds in place and arranged. That\'s what I\'m experiencing right now. Results that go boom-boom with quality clarity. Something to keep in mind.Do I recommend this for people who just want to listen to music? Seriously? Didn\'t I tell you to get lost already? You do not belong here! BEAT IT!Do I recommend this for audio engineers who edit and master audio projects of all kinds trying to get professional studio headphones for under $80? Hell yes I do. And while you\'re at it, go get the fluffiest ear muffs you can find.
