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.

hmm..

AKG K240S or AKG K240 MKII ?

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 just ordered the k701! Since there´s a new model (k702) out, it´s a bargain atm.

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

202s are cheap and closed back... i would say you would notice alot of difference.

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
