AKG K 242 HD High-Definition Headphones Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought these headphones a couple months ago, not really sure what to expect. I had never had an over ear headphone before and wanted to get something nice. The sound is very clear and I was able to hear every little subtle thing in the music. I prefer these headphones over other over ear ones because the bass is not overwhelming, but still very present and very crisp. There was a noticeable difference in what you hear when you have different quality of song files...which leads me to believe that these headphones are capable of amazing sound as long as your songs are of high enough quality.

Pros:
-Lightweight and comfortable
-Sound extremely clear
-Open headphone (so you don't hear yourself breathing and whatnot)
-Sound gets better the more you use them

Cons
-The cord does not detach like in the AKG 240 model
-Length of the cord makes using these headphones outside awkward
-$300 is expensive (I bought them when they were on sale for $130)

I suppose its worth noting that I have used these headphones for gaming as well. I played Crysis and Far Cry 2 with these headphones and was very impressed. My roommate has the Tritton AX pro gaming headset and I definately prefered the sound of the these over his. There were all sorts of little details in the sound that you would otherwise never hear.
