Title: AKG K240 semi-open headphones $64.50
Post by: YouGotRioted on Sat, 14 December 2013, 12:16:19

Cheapest price they've ever been on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0001ARCFA/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0001ARCFA&linkCode=as2&tag=jefstwifee-20), with free shipping.

Great reviews, generally excellent sound quality and much better soundstage compared to sets like the M50s.

Most things have a better soundstage than the M50s because the M50s are closed-back.

These sounded much better using my torpedo amp than without proper amping. That said, I preferred other headphones I had already in terms of sound, comfort and build quality.

Note: the newer revision being sold here is made in china and has many differences to the older ones.

That said, they did sound great with my setup. I used these headphones to test it.
