They feature a semi-open design with high-end drivers that deliver supreme frequency response, with low frequencies reproduced all the way down to 15 Hz and high frequencies reproduced with dazzling clarity out past 25 kHz.

High Quality Materials Create High-Definition Sound

Extra-large speakers with Varimotion diaphragms provide higher sensitivity and a wider dynamic range. Varimotion is the first technique that allows the production of a microphone diaphragm whose thickness varies along its diameter. This provides better control of the capsule resonance, reducing the need for expensive mechanical tuning resonators in the shaft to a minimum. Varimotion diaphragms can vibrate freely, providing a much crisper, cleaner sound than conventional designs.

For the finest possible transmission of their wide frequency response, the K 242 HDs use a single-sided, 99%-oxygen-free cable. The hard gold-plated jack plug and contacts resist corrosion and enhance sound clarity.

Reliable Compatibility

You can use the K 242 HDs with your home stereo, portable DVD, CD and MP3 players and many other audio/video players. Have an older iPhone? No worries. The K 242 HDs are compatible with older versions of the iPhone. They're an ideal upgrade to any portable device.
