Score: 74/100Rankings
The AKG K240 Studio headphones deliver precise, detailed audio with a semi-open design, making them ideal for professional mixing and mastering at a budget price. Their trade-offs include sound leakage, lower sensitivity that may need an amp, and a non-foldable build. Suited for audio engineers and musicians who prioritize sound accuracy over portability.
The Rumoon CM7005 is a wired over-ear studio monitor headphone with 50 mm drivers and versatile connectivity, including a detachable coiled cable and Shareport audio-sharing. It lacks active noise cancellation and its coiled cable can be cumbersome for on-the-go use. Suited for DJs and audio professionals needing accurate monitoring and cueing.

Professional reviewers consistently commend the K240 Studio for its precise, detailed sound and natural imaging, attributing this to the Varimotion transducers.
