AKG's long-selling open-back headphones, the K240 MKII, and the YAXI K240SE ear pads—a great value set!

＜K240MKII＞
■The global standard monitor headphones, beloved and used in recording studios and broadcast stations worldwide.

■Characterized by the natural sound dispersion unique to semi-open designs. They deliver a soundstage with depth and three-dimensionality, while also possessing the high resolution essential for monitor headphones.

■A well-balanced, all-around sound with excellent performance across the entire frequency range. The mid-to-high frequencies are smooth and rounded yet clear and well-defined, while the low frequencies deliver powerful yet natural depth without excessive assertiveness. This results in a sound that remains comfortable and easy to listen to even during extended sessions.

■Boasting high potential that handles a wide range of genres from rock and electronic music to classical and jazz, it excels not only for monitoring but also as a listening headphone.

■The diaphragm employs AKG's proprietary acoustic technologies: “Varimotion Technology” and a “Two-Layer Diaphragm,” achieving distortion-free, clear mid-to-high frequencies.

■The headband features a “self-adjusting mechanism” that adapts to head size, minimizing perceived weight and providing a comfortable, stress-free fit even during extended use.

■Its low impedance design ensures compatibility with a wide range of audio sources.
