| 240s all the way..i had many headphones but the 240s are by far the bests ones..271s are good too but good for the vocalist or someone who works in a noisy environment |

I might just go with the 141's. The 240's would be nice but I can't get them cheap anywhere and I don't really need amazing headphones, just solid ones and the 141S should do the trick.
I'll go and have a listen to them next week. |

| you gotta love it when people are stubborn and don't listen to advice! :happy2: |

I'm not stubborn, I just can't get the 240S for less than $270. If I buy them online, the postage will cost an extra $100 so it ends up being the same.
Like I said, I would love to buy them, but I'm not in the position to spend that much money on headphones. |

Can you seriously not find them in any store for a decent price, or have you not really looked? I bought them in-store here, not online, and they cost somewhere in the vicinity of $150 CDN (around $110-120 US) and that was about a year ago. And it wasn't on sale or at a really cheap store or anything.
I can't imagine that prices so ridiculous are just a regional thing - I think you need to look harder. Even if the K240S prices are expensive, the fact of the matter is that you're still getting totally fleeced on the 141. |

Yep, I've looked and the cheapest price for the K240S is AUD$270 + postage and handling. That's about US$190. Remember, they take into account the shipping which isn't really that fair but hey, that's how this country works.
I might be able to get them for US$170 (including postage) from a nice TA member who is apparently and AKG dealer so I'll see how I go. I still need to go down to the city center next week and try everything out. I don't want to buy audio equipment before I can try it out.
So before I go, any other recommendations in the same price range as the 240S and lower? |

I did some digging around for local dealers. Here's what I could find.

To be honest 270 AUD isn't that bad. I payed roughly the same amount for my k240s at a local store here (170 EURO). |
Wow that's a fantastic link!
I'll call up as many places as possible and see what kind of deal they can get me. |

Amazing, it really does seem to be all across AU. I don't know how you guys can afford to do any music production!
The actual MSRP from AKG is $159 US which is around $200 AUD. And you never expect to pay as high as the MSRP...
Good luck, hope you find a decent deal! |

Hehe, see that I was serious now ;)
Yep, it's ed. You just have to wait for sales or order online and hope to find some cheap shipping.
God damn I hate shiiping. It can sometimes cost more than the damn product itself! :whip: |
