Then why not use the search?

You'll get a quicker, better answer that way than starting a new thread.

Cauz when i searched on AKG i didn't find any results plus im asking about many products @ the same time

For me it was a choice between AKG 240s and Sennheiser 280s. AKGs sound a bit better, but 280s have ridiculous isolation. Depends what youre using them for - I chose the 280s.

Go the Grado sr325's

I made a thread about AKGs about 3 weeks ago. How could you not find that?

I've got the AKG K240S and I would recommend them.

I want to use them for mixing as I cant get decent monitors now
thanks for helping

Ultrasone PROline 750

$400

Worth every penny

Beyerdynamic DT990

Just bought the Sony MDR 7506 for DJing and will definetely end up using them at least a little bit for production. Slightly harsher Highs than I'm used to, but it will be good combined with my Events which have sliightly less defined Highs.

I just picked up some AKG K240S's and they are so good. �80UKP at the moment. A lot of people were raving about them a month ago on here, so I went and got a pair. Well worth it.

thnx 4 replying guys!!!


simonbostock I wanna ask u about the sound of the bass and treble are they perfect ??
and is there any drawbacks in the K240s?
thanks again

My K240s could not handle being pushed too hard. I mean, it's MY FAULT I had my headphone bus up extremely loud when I blew out my left driver. But still... not super durable, so if you get a pair, baby them. I'm probably being redunt here, but whatever; better to cover all the bases.

Well they are monitoring headphones, not DJing headphones. You really shouldn't have them up too loud, ever...

You shouldn't use an amplified signal with the AKG k240S.
It was designed to be connected directly into a soundcard, without amplification.
They had a k240M version that had higher impedance, but they discontinued that.

Thanks for the new info, Sherlock.

But I should have specified. They were plugged in directly into my MOTU 2408 MkI. I was not DJ-ing with them (it would be pointless since they're open back headphones). However, I did have the volume up loud and then I inserted a new VSTi and it was up REALLY loud by default and then BAM. Sad times for my 240s.

My 750s are better anyway

Aha, I'm with you. Yea that sucks

ill have to go with the
1- Sony MDR V 7506


got a pair like them alot!

You should not rely on someone else's opinion when you are buying headphones or studio monitors. These are something you HAVE TO hear and figure out if you like them or not YOURSELF.

For those swearing by the $400 Ultrasone PROline 750 cans, I have personally heard those at the company's demo event, and I was disappointed. My Sony MDR-V700 sound definitely better at only $125 I paid for them in 2005.

Go to your local music equipment store and ask them if the can let you open floor items and listen for yourself. Bring best sounding original CD you have and play it on one of the CD players they got there. Dont use mp3's unless you are really familiar how its supposed to sound and sound quality is good.
