This is interesting info. I haven't heard about the new ones so much. Are they as good as the old ones? Whats the difference between the original 240s, the MKIIs and the HDs?

Not much. Mainly just looks. The HD has a fixed cable instead of the detachable kind. The MkII comes with a coiled and a straight cable and two types of pads.

looking around it seems the MKIIs come with leather AND velvet pads, so you can choose, and also comes with 2 seperate cables, while the 240S(tudio) has a non-detachable cable, and jsut the leather pads i think...

i think sound wise they're the same

I am pretty poor . How much of a difference will it make between something like the AKG 240s or the sennheiser hd 202's?

You could get the AKG K141 MkII. But the pricing is very retarded. the k141 MkII are $189 and the k240 MkII are $199.
So there's really no point. However if you can still find a k240S they are priced at $119.

Pretty reasonable, at $119. I was looking at the MK2 which are about $200, i understand there isn't much if any difference as far as sound goes between the two models.

Edit: Also, Thanks
