Best mixing headphones!

I will probably never use HD600 again for mixing, I've had such a bad experience with how the bass translates. AKG K240s aren't pleasant, but seem to give better results for me.

As these still seem to be available new I figured a contemporary review might be in order.

The bottom line is that they are very comfortable, with a large round cup and a good driver/weight ratio. I like the sound band and find it nice and even. They are comfortable to listen to (and wear) for...

I'll add my 2 cents (pence) worth since I have four pairs of 240's including two 600 Ohm units I've had for over 35 years and two Austrian made 55 Ohm units. I use one pair every day in my studio, but before COVID I often used another pair for a client musician while tracking. Although many people...
