there's like 3 versions of the 240 headphone range:
k242hd
k240 MKII
and k240S (which i thought they stopped selling now and replaced with the 242s)

they're all the same, but have slightly different designs (242s are different colour, MKIIs have replaceable cables and earpads)..

Processing a highly structured and complex pattern of sensory input as a unified percept of "music" is probably one of the most elaborate features of the human brain.....understanding how music is perceived and how it may elicit intense sensations is far from being understood.

Congratulations, you managed to track done one of the original pairs

It's the same ones most of us currently have and they are absolutely wonderful. There's a reason why a lot of people in threads like this often post:
AKG K240
/thread

...and that's because they are really that good. No need to go up a model to the K701 at all.

Would THESE be good? I've seen a few versions of the K240's but I'm not sure which ones I should buy.

That's the exact same version as Palm, myself etc have. It's the discontinued K240S. In fact, I'm wearing them right now and listening to music on them

The replacement cable from the Mk2 works on the S doesn't it? For future reference.

Ya I heard alot of good things about the discontinued pair. But I couldnt find any in UK so I went for the K701 which you get from Thomann for a good price and I'm blown away.

thanks for all the help with the recommendations, but im really leaning toward the ultrasone headphones, has anyone used these before? ive read a few reviews and have only read positive reviews.

Only if "they sound better" isn't a good reason to you.

good to hear that i might have done a nice buy for once lol.

I have the AKG 240

Should I 'burn' them in like you have to with the 701s?
