: No, the AKG - K240 MKII does not come with a mic since it is more of a studio monitoring headphone.
: Yes, the cables are indeed detachable. Making for easy storage and convenient for whenever you want to replace or upgrade cables.
: The AKG - K240 MKII is made of lightweight durable plastics that allows you to use them for long hours without experiencing fatigue. The soft leather headband and over-ear design with memory foam earpads also helps in the same.
: Yes, since it has a high impedance which cannot be driven by a smartphone an Amp gives it the extra boost to the sound.
: The AKG - K240 MKII comes with impedance of 55Ω.
: Impedance is the so-called alternating-current resistance that headphones have under specific standard conditions. On devices with low output impedance, headphones are the louder, the lower their impedance is. In principle, we recommend that you choose headphones with low impedance for use on devices that are operated by battery/rechargeable battery (i.e. most portable devices such as smartphones, tablet computers but also notebooks). You can distinguish between high and low impedance. Usually, the gradations 18 Ω, 32 Ω, and 80 Ω are used in the low range. In the high range, 250 Ω are common. If you want to get the most out of your system (and it has the power to do so), choose a model with 600 Ω.

Excellent product

Though these headphones are meant for musicians during performances, I just listen to music with them. I'm glad I bought them because of the amazing sound experience. The bass and treble are excellent and come through clearly. I say buy them, you will not be disappointed.

Best for beginner audiophile !!

I was very confused whether i should buy these or not because i don't have any amp/dac to drive these but i took the risk of purchasing AKG - K240 MKII & and boi these are worth it !!! I'm using these with my laptop and my iphone and they sound really really good without an amp/dac or both !!!

NOTE : THESE ARE NOT FOR BASS HEADS !

Pros :
1) Excellent sound separation between vocals and instruments
2) Sound stage is quite wide (Because they are semi - open)
3) These are comfortable,headband does not cause any fatigue

Cons :
1) Built quality could have been better
2) No carry pouch/bag with these

Will update the review if anything changes !!

AKG K240 MK II Review

A really great pair of headphones, I did have some expectations, when I ordered the headphone. By now it's fair to say the expectation are more than met. If you are a basshead. This is not for you. But if you are looking to start your audiophile experience with a good first quality headphone. Look no further. This model headphones are made from the 1970s, can you believe that? And it's almost unchanged. You get to hear the tiniest details and nuances, which could be a first experience to a few, as many would not have used such kind of headphone. The mids, are good the lows and highs are also good. Fair deal if you ask me. You've made a good choice if you want a neutral sound and not too artificial sounding headphones.

4/5

good

Brilliant Budget Headphones for Audiophiles

Clean transparent sound. Light, almost weightless headphones. Can wear for hours without discomfort. Extra cable + ear pads make it a really sweet deal.

Awesome for the price !!!

Beautiful .. Comfortable to wear, less weight, very neutral freq distribution perfect for mixing , highs are very smooth, bass could be little more Overall Value for money !!!!

5/5

Received the headphones within a day. The sound is open and detailed. Perhaps, not ideal for listening with a mobile device, but I wouldn't say that it needs a DAC for listening through a laptop. OfCourse, it would be better if you could purchase one down the road.

So glad to know that you love them:) We look forward to serving you again. Happy listening!
