AKG K240 AND THE K92 STUDIO HEADPHONES 

Been using AKG'S since 89 when I began my career in radio, they were extremely pricey back then for a set of cans but the K92's are ideal and inexpensive today. AKG'S are best utilized in a professionally engineered studio🎯👌💯

Nice review, I wish everyone who reviewed headphones were musicians or audio professionals hehe, there`s a lot of "I really like the color" stuff out there xD Kind of a shame that the K92`s don`t have detachable cable, but honestly, having it at all in this price range as the K240`s do is very nice.

Nice review. In my opinion in rare cases the K 240 will show some advantages. One of the important things for someone who is a beginner and in the phase of buying equipment is the fact that the K 240 have a higher impedance. This means that you need a output source that has enough juice to drive these at nice levels, otherwise you will need a headphone pre-amplifier. But this is a secondary problem to nowadays users, since the majority of people is using audio interfaces which mostly have built in headphone pre-amps. Users that are relying on studio sound cards will engage a serious problem with proper volume levels without a use of a headphone pre-amp. Even the K 92 which i personally owe are not really high volume driven on my M-Audio 24/96 sound card. To the point with the frequency response, the 1 kHz lower frequency on the K 240 is not really worthy to be mentioned, the response in the high frequency range is a different pair of shoes, there is a notable advantage in comparison to the K 92. All in all, both of these headphones are not in the high end league and far away from headphones that are way more expensive than these 2. The headphones are just a reference in mixing and mastering, they can not replace the importance of studio monitors. Sure there will be some amount of more detail on the 240-s, at the end of the day i need to listen to the K 240-s to convince myself that they are really a strong tool for mixing and mastering and really worth to spend my money on them. My recommendation is that everyone should try both, and the decision will be easier which one to choose. If used for recording, like in the video said, definitely the K 92. I had no opportunity to try a phonitor system, which is a room and space emulation that can make the sound and distance real life like on the headphones. The manufacturer SPL has a such built in feature in their audio interface for headphone users, and i read a lot of positive feedback from owners about it, in my opinion a such feature can make the mixing and mastering on headphones more realistic than just a conventional use.

K240 Studios are a no brainer, absolutely brilliant Headphones for that Budget.

Got my K92s for $20. Awesome deal. And I can plug directly into my nylon string solidbody guitar without a headphone amp. Can't wear mine for hours though.

I've had a pair of K-100s for 30years and they have taken a lot of abuse, such as running over the cable with chair wheel and over extending to the 10ft maximum length frequently. Still working fine. (it has non-detachable cable too) Vinyl / faux leather ear cups are easy to wipe clean. I was tempted to get some Beyer DT770 pro but they have introduced fluffy ear pieces. YUK

What I was looking for. Thanks a lot sir and subscribed.

Been mixing on K240's for almost 20 years and I do kickass work, so there's that. Great vid, man!

Classics. I still have, and sometimes use, a pair of 240’s I bought 20 years ago for uni. And they still sound great. Only replaced the cushions once!!! 😮

Awesome job!! This was so useful for me🙏🙏I’ll buy the AKG k92... thank you!

Great review! Thank you. You do actually sound like you're about 4 ft below me. And about 20% to the left.

49$ vs 69$ In my country they sell for 80$ vs 160$ go figure...Taxes (Uruguay -.-) I end-up getting the K92 and coming from a Logitech G231 to this, you can tell this is a different world. Short explanation, they sound like having a box speakers, similar to those you see on his desk sort of speak (the yellow/black). Not great for gamming but it will improve immersion as a normal speaker room eco would (emulate this extremely well). For movies and music they sound great but take time to get use to it since the close back return the audio with a shape an eco and this emulated a cinema experience to some extend. They have amazing levels of bass (they can deliver) and great definition but if you fill them a bit 2 flat you can adjust it via software to add a bit more bass. They can touch your ear on the size, but even if they do ain't a huge deal but definitely something they need to fix on future revisions, also the pressure on the side fill a bit high but this probably is a trade off of having low weight design, having no pressure on the top of your head is a big plus. I been listening to music and watching movies for over 20 years and this is the close thing I ever experience to those times I went to the cinema in my younger years, no regrets buying.

Answered every question I could think of asking. Great video🙏 6😈6

Couldn't decide between those two models. This video really helped. Thanks!

Thank you....my sentiments exactly!

My experience with the K240 was underwhelming. I can't imagine mixing with these, more power to you if you can.

I am looking for a pair of headphones for practicing guitar. I was looking at the K240 but seen some reviews that they lack bass response. I should mention that I also play bass guitar. My main purpose will be for playing guitar but they will probably be used to practice bass too. I will also use them for monitoring through my Scarlet but my main purpose at the moment is for practicing guitar. Which is better for guitar practice? Does the the K92 provide better bass response due to being close back?

Great video! It helped me a lot, many thanks, man!

Nice reviev , akg240 will be good for recording ang mixing/mastering

Great review, helped me a lot.

hey! just saw ur video on the AKG K240 and the K92. i suffer from a thing called misophonia (basically i get annoyed/triggered by sounds) so i want headphones that i cant hear a thing outside of them (external sounds) and also wear for hours. (i just want to watch yt videos, movies, spotify). i heard u talk about open and closed back, so external sounds infiltrate the open back ones? or is it just the other way around? which one should i get??! or do you recommend other ones for my problem. thank you so much :)

Very awesome work. great job too.

Great video. I’ve got both headphones in my studio (alongside many others).

Good stuff, thanks for the review!

Dont say recording. I record all guitars with the interface. So it's better the open back because there is no mics

I have a K240 now, and am looking for a somewhat Drum Isolation headphones(i record my drums with an MAudio interface 3 mic setup etc) ... would the K92 a good choice for it? Im using an earbud atm. :D

Hey man, sorry for bothering you with this kind of this question, I'm thinking exactly to take one of these headphones, but for gaming, you looks like know what you are reviewing, so could you recommend one for gaming? I would love to know what could be the best choice, thank you so much and have a great week! :)

Hey man, thanks for the video! I already have the K92. Do you think is worth upgrading to K240 MKii? I'm looking for bass/kick purposes on a low budget.

Cheers for the review ! I need closed cans & I was toying with getting a newer not-so-well-known-but-well-hyped brand for their all-swivelling-cans-with-detachable-cables (OneOdio StudioPro).... but ultimately I'm not sure they cut the mustard!(?) (can't listen to anything instore, we're in lockdown!) Think I'll opt for the K92s -- a good price atm here in the UK.

great advice there Joe 👍👍

I have AKG K-92 - I do not recommend them for mixing the music, they have very muddy midrange, and lacks low bass. They do not show the details of the mix. (I have also pair of studio monitors to compare them). I am searching for new headphones now.

Thank you😊

Good review. I think I'll opt for the K240s. I don't mix or record. I just want something good for listening to music. I bought some OneOdio headphones a few months back, and had to send them back because they were terrible, because they boosted the bass to ridiculous levels and it sounded unnatural. My favourite band is a Japanese group called Band-Maid, and the bass players is normally definitely prominent in the mix, but with those it sounded like she played 'lead bass' and the rest of the band were just accompanying her. Apparently that kind of bass boost is quite common in headphones these days, but it sounds like the K240s don't have it.

Wow! nice find!

I have this feeling that I forgot to do something.. I don't know what exactly, but I feel like there was something I was supposed to do.

I am a singer and also a budding music producer and I am looking for a decent budget friendly pair of headphone for my vocal recording, music production and mixing/mastering. I am confused with the following options: 1. AT M30x 2. AKG K52/K72/K92 Also, you may suggest the ones you believe will be better for me. Thanks!!

I bought K92 for mixing and mastering as I could afford only that right now. A little tight on budget

Love this channel too, subbed to it also

Get an upgrade cable and velours pads for the K240.

Awesome work bro😀👍🎶

thanks

I have the K92... How does the sound of the K240 compare to it?? Do they have similar sound signature??

tnx sir

My question is , when I recording my voice to the condenser mic with karaoke music background which one is better no sound comes outside from headphones?

what about audio-technica M20x and Shure SRH240A ??? all 3 cost about 70 US dlls

Should i buy open back or close back for podcast recording?

Which pair would you choose for DIed or virtual instruments?

is dis review or introducing

so open back means others gonna hear it aswell right?

*QUESTION: where is wire going to 2nd earphone*

I have booth ones
