  • Semi-open design delivers solid bass and airy highs
  • Patented 30 mm Varimotion transducer ensures accurate signal transfer
  • 55-ohm impedance works with low-output audio sources
  • Detachable OFC cable with gold-plated plugs simplifies service
  • Self-adjusting headband provides all-day comfort for long sessions

Professional Studio Headphones

The AKG K240 MKII semi-open headphones are built for studio monitoring and critical listening. Their 55-ohm impedance allows direct connection to low-output audio interfaces and portable devices without a dedicated amplifier. The around-the-ear design provides solid bass response and clear highs for accurate mixing decisions.

Detachable Cable Serviceability

A detachable oxygen-free copper cable with gold-plated plugs simplifies replacement if the lead is damaged. The self-adjusting headband and over-ear pads accommodate extended sessions without tools or complex disassembly. No driver matching or soldering is required, keeping downtime minimal for working engineers.

Semi-Open Acoustic Limits

The semi-open construction delivers an airy soundstage but leaks sound in both directions. It is unsuitable for tracking with open microphones or for use in noisy environments where isolation is required. Listeners needing complete containment or maximum low-frequency impact should consider a closed-back alternative.
