    • The Best Studio Grade Phones For The Money Right Now
Style: Over Ear Headphones
The short and sweet of these phones is they are a really solid cheap option for studio grade flat response phones that are well worth the money and where you should be making your entry into the studio grade space with AKG. Read on for a more detailed review Testing performed on an SMSL DAC using Optical Windows 10 at 24 bit 96000Hz Studio quality no enhancements of any kind Tested using Spotify Premium Quality, Youtube videos, and MusicBee FLAC music, and some Bluray Movies Compared against Sennheiser HD598 and Pioneer HDJ-1000(for distortion purposes) So these headphones were a very pleasant surprise for me to give a review. The last “cheap AKG” phones I’ve had any experience with were the K70. Those phones were flat just on the edge of tin like and overall a massive disappointment. I might be considered an “audiofile” by some and would consider my setup to be at the bottom of premium. I normally listen to things on a set of HD598 that I love with everything and an S.M.S.L. DAC connected via SPDIF(optical). So coming into these phones at this price point I was not expecting good things to say the least given my last experience. Turns out I was way off base as these are really solid phones. So first things first the sound is very neutral which is something I look for in studio grade phones. No bass boosting or extra crystal in the highs. Just nice neutral sound to appreciate the original source material. The sound stage is large but The highs are nice and clear with a little cut off at the peaks. The bass is nice warm and clear if a little flat. Giving a listen to a bass boosted version of Invincible I would have to crank my DAC to a level that on my HD598’s would have my ears bleeding. However there was no distortion or muddling so I would more likely chalk it up to gain hunger for bass than I would weak output. Switching over to a song I know has a lot of highs as well as bass I gave a listen to Ignoring My Heart Bass Boosted. The story was the same. No real distortion happening I could discern a clear difference between the highs and the bass on the drops. I think the lesson here is if you’re wanting a rich thick bass signature out of these phones then you’re going to have to be listening on a dedicated device like a DAC or Audio Interface and not a phone/tablet. Highs I listened to a couple songs that give me a good impression of the highs and their qualities. First off I listened to Jolie Coquine by Caravan Palace. DAC was at the normal level I keep it at this time around and everything from the lyrics to the violins were nice a clear if a bit lacking in the peaks. Next up a gave Beauty Beats by Beats Antique a listen which has the highs more muted but still present in the foreground. It was a much better listening experience here the violins are more in the background while the fiddles are more foreground. Next up I gave Carmina Burana a go particularly the version performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra. It’s one of the best versions that really shows off highs as well as giving you a solid idea of the sound stage of the phones. This was outstandingly good in terms of the highs but the sound stage was quite lacking here.I would say it's about half as wide as my HD 598's. Last I gave Madame Coquette by Tape Five a listen and noticed the slight cut off in the highs once a gain compared to my 598’s. It’s nothing an average listener would notice or someone who’s more a casual listener would notice but it’s definitely there in the highs Mids songs are always really hard to pick out because I think a huge difference in peoples listening experience comes in at the Mids. So I would use my track list here to find where your listening defaults lie. First off I gave My Kind of Town by Sinatra a listen because with the lyrics and the woods section I think this song has a really solid mid presence throughout. Here’s where I noticed the first bit of the corner cutting that I think gets these phones into the price point they are in. There’s a flatness that isn’t obvious but very pronounced. It sounds like you get to right where a mid would fill your sound stage and it stops just before that. Next up I gave In The Air Tonight by Collins a listen. I think this song is a good choice because the Mids are what I would call the essence of this song. No real issues here this time around and the flatness isn’t as big of a deal here. Moving on to movies and general video content from the likes of YouTube, Netflix, etc I think this is where the phones really shine. The overall neutral sound signature gives any spoken word content a perfect balance. Everything form YouTube videos to movies to Netflix sounded as good as I expected it to sound. With no real issues or noticeable drops offs of any kind. Everything sounds just right in my book. So conclusion time is upon us and it’s important that you remember that sound in general is a very subjective medium and it’s hard to just outright say something or give a person a conclusive yes or no answer to a question. All that taken into account are these good headphones? Yes I think the neutral studio sound signature and level detail in the sound is perfect for this price point. If you’re a streamer, gamer, or video watcher then these headphones are hard to beat. If you’re a big music listener or expect booming thunderous sounds then I think you should look elsewhere. I don’t honestly believe you can get a set of headphones that are this comfortable and this quality at this price without a major sale going on at the time. These are a solid buy and a solid 5 star from me. ... show more

    • Cleanest sound I've worn in many years!
Style: Over Ear Headphones
It was time to replace my inexpensive, now broken, Sennheisers HD-201S headphones. I had accepted their shortcomings because they were affordable, but now I wanted something better. Not crazy better, but less than a hundred bucks better for sure. Searching through the ridiculously large list of potential choices, I chose the AKG K240S. Shopping online for headphones is subjective, for sure. I was drawn to the AKG reputation, single-sided, detachable/replaceable cable, and oversized muffs. And price, of course! 16 hours later, here I sit wearing my new best friend. I have been giving away so much clarity and reproduction to inferior headphones. I thought my ears had lost the ability to hear like this. Immediate reaction - very well built, great weight, and remarkably comfortable (even with glasses). Plugged into my Mac, playing mp3's of music burned from CDs, I'm completely happy with my new AKG! 2 hours after they arrived, I'm still wearing them. First song I christened them with? Killing Me Softly by Roberta Flack. Had me in tears, I swear, before the instruments kicked in. Music is meant for headphones! Then, I turned to an old favorite, an album I had loved to use when comparing speaker and receiver configurations back in the '70s, Hasten Down The Wind by Linda Ronstadt. Could not stop listening. Such a balance with these headphones, like the engineers intended, just enough everything. Let's go heavier. Quadrophenia by The Who. OMG The clarity. I could feel my fingers on John's bass as the super-clean lows filled my head. There may have been some high end distortion, like in cymbal crashes, that I don't recall from listening to the album originally, but that could be due to the limitations of CD/mp3 compression, and my 66 year old ears. After shuffling through classical, orchestral, rock, blues, the works - I am beyond happy and pleased with these headphones. As others have opined, they are super-transparent, so garbage-in, garbage-out. Not great for stuff with an uncontrolled soundtrack, but excellent for well-produced music, and a real value for the price. ... show more
