Red If I were settling in for a long album, I’d want that charging port ready. I don’t want to unplug the headphones just because the battery’s running low.
Nea I’d like to play a favorite album with each set of pads and take my time with the fit. I’m curious which material I’d prefer by the last track.
A charging port beside the headphone socket
The MKII bundle’s AKG-logo adapter connects to the USB-C port on a smartphone, tablet or laptop. It provides a 3.5mm headphone output and a separate USB-C power input, allowing the connected device to charge while you listen.
The headphones remain wired: their cable plugs into the adapter’s headphone socket. The MKII also retains its standard cable options, a 3m straight cable and a 5m coiled cable.
STUDIO gains a choice of earpad materials
The K240 STUDIO-Y3 VELOUR SE includes genuine AKG velour earpads alongside the standard leatherette pair. You can swap between the two materials according to your preferred feel and fit.
The MKII already includes both leatherette and velour pads as standard, so its added accessory is the USB-C adapter. That adapter is not included in the STUDIO bundle.
Two bundles for Japan’s Amazon store
Both sets go on sale October 29 exclusively through Japan’s Amazon AKG Pro official store. The MKII USB-C set is quantity-limited.
Both headphones use a semi-open design, making a quiet room a more practical setting than a noisy commute where isolation matters. Start with the device you want to connect: the MKII bundle supplies the USB-C listening-and-charging option, while the STUDIO bundle adds a second pad material to try.
