I also think the 272 looks nicer, but they are closed back which ive read isnt recommended unless you are doing recording stuff or working in a noisy environment.

I do recording stuff, work in noisey areas, and will probably use them for DJing as well, especially on big sound systems-

I'm using these, they are awesome and very true to my monitors (behringer truth)
edit: oh wait, MK2, not sure if these are that, probably not, awesome 240's though

Ah yes, those are the ones I have!

I used them to research my cans and I was very happy with it, fully what I expected. But I did find a lower price elsewhere.

You will need equalization when using that set Im afraid. There is a serious lows boost going on there that will muddy up everything.

If you are going to spend that much anyway, I would upgrade to the AGK K 702. The stats on those look much more friendly to the ear.

I like them very much, sounds great.. although maybe lacking a bit of deep bass response..

Originally posted by Subtle AKG K240 MK II Anyone got any objections, other recommendations or experience about these headphones ? These will be used directly into the soundcard for mixing, composing etc.

good lord i want those headphones

I think AKG 240 studio's are pretty inaccurate. I was thinking of getting the mk II's but if you guys are telling me they are pretty much the same then never mind. I'll go for the 701's instead.

i bought the AKG K 271 MKII,but what is the best affordable solution to use them with the delta 1010LT(rca output)for now i'm using a sh*ty female jack to 2rca adapter,should i need a headphone amp or better adapter will do?

Why are AKG's better than another manufacturer, other than hype and popularity?
