I've seen quite a few people talking about the AKG k240 headphones recently. Just wondering whether those of you with this particular headphone had to "knock it in" for a few hours / days before it started sounding accurate? Or was it ready to go from the beginning?

Thanks

That's a common phenomenon in all headphones. You'll have to use them first for an amount of time, because they'll sound muffled at first.

even semi-open ones?

Dont know about the headphones mate but I would say even if you were buying the most expensive headphones, or monitors in the world you would still need several weeks or so to get used to them. So regardless of whether the headphones are accurate straight away your interpritation of the sound they produce will not be at first and will likely take you a few weeks to get used to.

Thats my opinion from personal experience anyway.
