OK. My name is Chris. And_I_like 240's. A lot!  Have the lower end "Studio" and the cork sniffin' Out of Production/OG DF's. Being semi-open minded I can relate. But how do they translate? So where/how do these beauties stack up in your experience? Thanks, Chris |

The AKG 240's of various models have always been my go to studio phones. For 30+ years. I've worn through more than I can count. The quick disconnecting cable was the best improvement they ever made.

I was bummed I left my Sony MDR V6's accidentally behind in a local restaurant.
Gone now.
Mellower than 7506's.
But was still amazed how bright the V6's are.
Might get AT 30 Series for Vocal Tracking. I like Tascam THX-200's for Tracking/Reference but built kinda cheap.

The AKG 240's are fantastic indeed! My go to tracking headphones.
drbill definitely has it right - the quick disconnecting cable is life changing. I wish it was available on all headphones.

Chris, can I warn you against cans that are comprised of hard plastic in the swivel area (AT 30) . I have just broken AT 40s , Shure 240 and Shure 840 by dropping on the floor and Im well over it; looking for something "robustly flexible"
Cheers, Ross

Haven't used 240s or 270s in over 20 years. HD280's have been our tracking headphone of choice - decent middle ground that can take abuse and have spare parts. We have a whole shelf of "dormant" 240's...

These are the perfect headphones for tracking vocals because they're semi-open back. You can hear yourself pretty well like you would with open back, but you get decent isolation like a closed back. I won't record vocals without them.
