The good:Over ear design and leather headband make for a comfortable set of cans

Replaceable/Upgradable earpadsCons- Self-adjusting fit is a bit finicky- Semi-open design can bleed quite a bit of noise into your surroundingsBottom line: This is a fantastic set of cans for a ridiculously low price.

I wound up buying my wife and sone a set as well

I bought a set of the original "Made in Austria" K240's back in 1998, and they finally died after 12 years of solid service all over the world.

They are just as good as a $300 set of headphone's

but if you pass these by just because you don't think they look groovy, then you're going to miss a fantastic set of headphones.

At the price these are you aren't going to find a better set of headphones, period.

If you're looking for an open back headphone or are just looking for a nice set of headphones to listen to in the evening, you could do far worse than these

I also use the Shure 440's closed headphones, which is an awesome set of headphones, but become uncomfortable after using them after a short while.

You wont find a better set of headphones unless your willing to pay over

I recommend to anyone looking for a good set of studio headphones that won't break the banks.

This is a great set if you want a reasonable price for excellent sound

Like them so much I purchased another set of them.

I replayed the M50x's with the closed back and wondered "could the Sony's really be obviously a better set of headphones?"

I bought a set of replacement velvet covers to replace the leatherette ones and they worked great.

For the money, you're getting a great set of headphones, I can and have recommended them to many people

Decent sound, but not as loud as my previous one set of headphones (using same settings)

If you are looking for a nice set for your studio or guitar/keyboard practice set up and don't want to spend $150 or more, you really can't go wrong for the money.

it's a decent set of headphones.**Update

I've heard better headphones anyway, but for the price these are a great set of headphones for studio and general use.

These are just a very poor set of headphones for the money, and I would advise staying away from this model.

You probably won't find a better set of headphones at ANY price.

but if you pass these by just because you don't think they look groovy, then you're going to miss a fantastic set of headphones.

This is a very good set of headphones for someone who wants good sound from small devices without the need for a headphone amp.

I have a set of these from the mid-80s and love them.

You may search high and low, pay a king's ransom for trendy, colorful set of cans, but you will NEVER (let me repeat it for the sake of clarity:) EVER find better more transparent and true-to-the-source set of phones

You can't get a better set without doubling down

Nice set of headphones

I have a preferred set, but overall these are the pair I use most often

This is a great sounding set but the volume level is a little low for my taste.

The only point of buying a set of headphones this large is comfort

I needed a better set of headphones to use for guitar practice and home recording that didn't break the bank, but still had good sound without too many highs or lows.

Great set of phones for those of us who cannot afford the really expensive headphones the serious recording studios use.

My new pair of 240's sound as good as my original set and they are all I will ever use to mix and master my music tracks.

These are semi-open/open so they aren't really meant to be used as a portable set, but I do like to listen to music while I read, and these wouldn't be my first choice if I just had my phone to power them.

If you are looking for a set of headphones that will equal a good set of speakers--these are not those

If you want and insanely good sounding set of cans for (well) under $100, this is a sure bet

I don't believe you can get a better set of professional-quality studio reference headphones for the money than the K240.

This set is better for people that have at least 4 headphones and are looking for a treble detailed set.

I don't think that you can purchase a better set of headphones for the money, although, I think these are being replaced by the 240MKII's, which interestingly has the same specs as the 240Studio.
