Replacement Cable for AKG Q701 / K240 / K240S / K240MK II / K702 / K271s / K141 / K171 / K181 / K271 MKII/Pioneer HDJ-200 Headphones Audio Upgrade HiFi 4.9ft

I am so happy 😀 The cord is working perfectly. Thought I was going to have to buy a new set of headphones; after a friend's dog chewed my cord. And they aren't cheap. This cord doesn't tangle up like the original cord. The sound quality is perfect; no more cutting out when I am recording. The material covering and thickness is very nice 🙂 And fits really tight. Yes if you need a replacement cord for your AKG K240 headphones this is the one to get.

Perfect Replacement for my AKG K702’s, much better quality than the stock cord.Brujo

Good cable

This cable is mostly fine. The TRS end is gold plated, as is the 1/4" adapter. This doesn't do anything, but it looks nice. The cable feels pretty good, and doesn't hold its previous shape (no worries about coiling up.) I only give it 4 stars because the cable is pretty prone to microphonics, where you can distinctly hear every sound it makes as it brushes against your clothing, blows in the wind, etc.There is one other thing to be aware of, however. This cable will not work with balanced headphones without some.... modifications. The mini XLR connection at the end only has 3 holes: L, R, and one ground pin. Balanced headphones have 4 pins: L, R, and two grounds for left and right. To use this cable with balanced headphones (say, a modded DT 770 pro) you will need to make two modifications. First, the XLR connection needs an extra hole to accommodate the extra pin, which I made by heating up a small wire brad on the stove, then melting through the plastic. You may want respiratory protection for this step. Then you will need to bridge the L and R ground pins in the headphone. You could do this by opening it up and resoldering it, or you could do what I did and take the less permanent solution of bridging the two pins with a small loop of stripped wire. Once this is complete, however, the cable works just fine with any pair of headphones you might throw at it.

Shorter than the original, but still works if you're close to the headphone, plug-in connection. I prefer the length of the original chord, but this one works fine for my purposes. Make sure the length is what you need BEFORE purchasing any electronic chords.

You get what you pay for. I couldn't be happier with the look and feel of this cable. Produces great sound to my headphones. I love the metal spring added to the end of the 3.5mm connector end and I also love cables that use techflex. I can tell this cable will last a long time. I will update this review if the cable has wear and tear that's caused by normal usage. 5/5 would buy again!Edit: Cable is still in mint condition. The spring on the end has come in handy a few times when I’ve accidentally yanked the cable from my amp. (Accidents happen) Overall, I’m satisfied with the quality of this cable.

The cord connects well, and seems to work fine, but has a tendency to kink and coil. I bought a braided cable to try and avoid this, and the kinks are simple to remove and not permanent, but can be annoying when I or a talent are recording in the studio. Might be looking for something else.

FAAAAR better than the stock cord that comes with the headphones. Great connections and good flexibility. A no-brainer!

At first I was worry about the material of the cable that might hardly affect on sound quality due to unknown OCC copper of the wire. But the result of testing is quite surprised. This cable sounds cleaner and more solid at basically all range compared to original cable. Well I do not expect AKG has amazing quality on their original cable.Anyways, the cable seems durable and it is much thinner then I expected. a spring loaded joint is good design too just incase of improper pulling from headphone jack. Nothing fancy but the work is done just right. It is the best match for my Q701 consider to the price of this cable.

Just what I needed at a very reasonable price. Thank you

Original cable is a bit flimsy, it was easily cut by wear and tear.This cable is better looking and seemingly better contructed. It's a bit shorter than the original.Not very noisy in use, ie it doesn't transmit much friction noise from clothes etcNo difference in sound quality from original .

Parfait sonne bien et livraison super rapide .
