Thank you for viewing. A world-class standard in the music industry: AKG K240 Studio. I've used these for several years. The price is also affordable, but... Why is it a world standard? This is just my personal opinion, but First of all, the overwhelming comfort. It's light and has little pressure. Especially for people who work or perform in studios for long hours, no matter how good the sound is, they might feel stressed. I think the reason this monitor headphone became a studio standard is because the sound is good, of course, but it fits most people due to its comfort. When it comes to world standards, it's inevitable to compare it to the MDR-CD900ST. To be honest, the 900ST wins in terms of sound resolution. However, the overall sound feels hard, in other words, a sound typical of Sony. On the other hand, this one feels softer, yet well-balanced. The decisive factor is that the 900ST makes you tired after long use, but the AKG K240 Studio doesn't cause any stress. I had both, but I preferred the AKG K240 Studio. Unfortunately, the sheathing on the cord plug is slightly peeling off (last image). However, AKG cables are sturdy, so the internal wires are not broken. It can be easily fixed with tape or adhesive. Also, the cord costs around ¥1000 on overseas sites, and you can buy it for around ¥1000-2000 on Japanese sites, making it suitable for recabling. Everything in the images: Main unit, 3m cable, conversion adapter. Disinfected and maintained, operation confirmed. Overall, I think it's relatively clean, but there is some wear and tear. Please purchase only if you understand that this is a used item.
