    If you haven't been bitten by the bluetooth bug and you're on a budget, the lower end of the AKG wired line is great. The sound quality is just right there. It might not be bass heavy enough for some people but I love my K-240 Studio. I've had them for ten years (Probably wore them at least ten hours a day every day of that) and have only replaced the cable and the pads. Which is one thing I will say. If you buy these, replace those pads right away. You can get pads for these that blow the stock ones away. That's the only thing I regret about the time I've spent with my AKGs. That I suffered with the awful stock pads as long as I did.

    I always liked the AKG design and they always had a reputation of being really good headphones, even back in the 80's and 90's when i became interested in HiFi equipment for the first time. It's nice to see that AKG is still around and still stands for quality products

    AKG is the best product i ever worked with. professional stuff. I also love your videos. I am learning alot about play station and how to determine if it is power supply issue or the mother board issue and how to fix both. I was able to fix a lot of play stations and I also liked the HDMI cable De soldering and soldering one back on board. again, love them and keep up the good work

    • @wassilia1234
      @wassilia1234 5 років тому +7

      Weird? That's completely normal mini XLR connector which is common at microphones etc. It's amazing cause it won't disconnect until button is pushed.

    A nice and simple modular design, the weakest part are probably the swivel pins, but the plastic seems to be glass fibre reinforced (any markings on the plastics?). The worst things are probably the pleather earpads. If you want similar headphones for cheaper, then there's the Samson SR850 and Superlux headphones, don't know about the differences in sound quality, but the Superlux ones are well regarded budget headphones.

  • @martinp338

    Just my few bits about AKG solders. I own AKG K712 Pro (made in Austria) and unfortunately first solder was off nearly after 2 years (I think that was the warranty for them). Second one I had to re-solder shortly after (maybe 2-3 months). That's really not great for headphones which i paid nearly £300 back then. Now you can get them much cheaper ( tho produced in China). Not sure if that's the flaw of this model only but based on short research it seems to be a flaw with all AKG headphones for very long time.

    I have to replace the headband on my AKG 271 Mk ii, which are a little different. I have to pop off the earcup to get to the screw holding on the headband (replace it, actually; I removed it with the earcup on but I need to remove the earcup to replace the screw). Do I pop off the outer part like you did? Thanks.
