5 out of 5 stars Best bang for the buck!.......2007-12-25

Great sounding headphones and very comfortable. Bought these to replace my Sony V6's of 10 years (broken due to my nephew sitting on them), which were still in great shape. So, $150 was my maximum amount that I was willing to spend on a pair of headphones for home, since I already have my pair of Shure e5's for when I'm out-and-about. I decided on these after reading a whole bunch of reviews and after trying out several headphones (Sony V6's/MDR-V900's, Sennheiser HD-280's, Bose Triports), but the K240 stood out as the clear winner for me, even next to the more expensive K271's. The headphones are extremely comfortable and were made even more so when I added a set of Nice Cans headphone covers (the stock pleather ones got a little sweaty and sticky when I wore them for more than an hour). The suspension system is pure genius taking the weight and tension off the ears and putting it on the top of my head, even after wearing for 4 or more hours. Also, if the cord ever get's destroyed or develops a short, it can be replaced by unplugging the existing one and putting a new one on. As a matter of fact, each individual part can be bought from AKG and replaced if one wears out (which I highly doubt). All in all, after a month of use, these have completely left the V6's in the history books. As time goes on and the drivers loosen up even more, the sound gets better and better! They do need a little time to sound as good as their potential, like my Shure's, so have a little patience. I would recommend these phones to anyone, especially if using an ipod or any other low power audio device. Great phones and enjoy!

4 out of 5 stars All about comfort!!.......2007-11-22

These headphones are extremely comfterable after hours of use, even if you wear glasses like I do. After watching movies for 5 hours, I forget I even have them on.

Another big thing I was worried about with the semi-open design was that it might leak out to much sound, and be annoying to my roomates. In a small, quiet room, if I turn them up really loud, my roomates can hear them a little. But with "normal" listening volume, they did not hear anything! This is great for people who don't want to disturb anyone.

The sound is realy something you fall in love with the more you listen to them. The quality is so clear, I can now hear parts of songs I never knew exsisted! Listening to orchastrel pieces, it really comes alive as I can now hear every finite detail of complecated pieces. Intially I thought the bass was lacking, but I find it is actually just more true to what it really sounds like. I actually find using a flat EQ produces the best sound, but if you like more bass, just change your EQ to bassbosster and it will provide very clear, strong bass.

They only reason I didn't give it a 5 star rating was because when I first got them the left side wasn't working. I played around with it a little, and it started to work again, but I'm afraid it could be a problem in the future. So far this has not been the case, but many people seem to have this problem, so I would use care with the phones.
Overall they are the perfect headphone, and highly recomended.

5 out of 5 stars Good Build Quality and Open-Air Style Maximizes Sound.......2007-11-16

I have four pair of headphones costing between 20-50 dollars, including such brands as Sennheiser, Logitech, Sony, and Eton. They're all capable headphones but they're Closed-Back style, which, while keeping external sound out, is also harder on the ears and which, I've read, compromises sound. So for my ear safety and for a bigger sound, I opted for the AKG K24. Here's what I like: Good build quality, comfortable large ear gel ear cups, microjack fits in iPod without needing an adapter (true of all my other headphones). The sound is good, great even, but I wouldn't go so far to say they produce the "wow factor." However, be aware of the fact that I don't pump up the volume very loud because I don't want to blast my eardrums. Are they worth the price? That's a subjective question. For many who want to spend less on an Open-Ear headphone without compromising sound, I think most will be happy with the 20-dollar Audio-Technica ATH-MZX Open-Ear headphones.

5 out of 5 stars Great!.......2007-11-07

I really love these, I use them for everything from editing music to playing Half Life 2, they have great response through all the ranges, even good bass, which is abnormal for Studio phones, but nice! 2 of the best features of these are the self adjusting headband (makes them very comfortable), and the removable cord (allowing you to upgrade your cord, get a curly cord, or a higher grade cable). I don't get sweaty ears wearing these, which is what I usually hate when vinyl covered ear pads, and they are comfortable enough to wear for long periods of time without taking them off-I've had them on for 6 hours or more some times. the cord is nice and nice, overall these were exactly what I was looking for in my headphone purchase.

3 out of 5 stars tough to beat at the price.......2007-10-30

These are the phones to buy for 95 bucks. They shine thru the midrange and have a rolled off treble to deal with today's harsh recordings. However, the bass will distort if you turn them up with heavy rock. The circular earcups actually grab my ears on the extremities even though I have small ears. Otherwise, they are comfortable. These are better than Sonys of equivalent price, but if you want the bass to come thru at high volume and a more open and refined sound overall I would recommend the 60 dollar stretch to discounted Sennheiser HD580s.

      1 out of 5 stars Poor quality and no support.......2007-12-23

      This is a very poorly made chinese remote that will last only a few months. It is preprogrammed for only half of the TVs manufactured, and the code search is of no use for those that were not included in the original list. If you are lucky enough to have a major brand TV, good. Even so, the remote will work for a few months and then the buttons will start to malfunction due to poor contacts. Rather pricey for such a piece of junk.

      And forget about internet support. There is none. The company has no website that I could find.

      5 out of 5 stars Old and Young Alike Will Appreciate the Remote you can't possibly lose!.......2007-12-04

      This remote is a must for that family member who misplaces the remote and always assumes someone else has it. If this one gets lost, there is a serious problem! Large, easy to read buttons and simple layout are a welcomed sight to those who are tired of pushing the wrong button. It will always be a conversation piece with those who visit as well. Given originally as a joke, it was a requested gift by many for upcoming birthdays or holidays. Durable and able to maintain up to eight other electronic items, this remote is big in value, size and fun!

      2 out of 5 stars Frustrating error in the manual.......2007-11-30

      My Morotola cable box was not listed in the manual. So, I had to scan for the code. Problem was, the SCAN INDTRUCTIONS in the manual were INCORRECT. Evidently they were written for a prior version of the Jumbo. They say to press the ON/OFF button "REPEATEDLY" to scan from one code to the next. NOT SO! Only press it once to start the scanning sequence. The red LED will blink all by itself for each code attempted. Wait for the selected device (TV, VCR, etc.) to power off, then press the ENTER button IMMEDIATELY, before it steps to the next code. This captures the last code attempted, the one that shut down your device.

      If your LED does not blink repeatedly all by itself, then you can assume you have an old versin of the Jumbo. In that case, follow the instructions and press the ON/OFF button yourself for each new code you want to try.

      Remote control help sites are full of requests by frustrated buyers looking for help. I gave the Jumbo a low rating because of the erroneous manual and the incomplete code list.

      5 out of 5 stars Larger than a paperback book.......2007-10-09

      This remote works with all my TV's and DVD. Bought is after losing 2 remotes. It is nice and big. No danger for throwing it out by mistake. Too bad it does not have a button for the DVRecorder.
