Product Survey: In-Ear Headphones

AKG doesn't seem to have gone to town with its accessories, so when we unpacked the K340s, we only found an excellent semi-rigid leather case ... and that's about it, apart from the three different sizes of silicon earbuds. That's a very lightweight selection. Klipsch's Image S range proves that you can add a lot more extras. We had similar concerns about the cable, which is too thin and light, and only a metre long, making it too short to reach an MP3 player in your trouser pocket. Another problem is the design of the individual earphones, which make it very hard to distinguish left and right. They're attractive enough, of course, but that doesn't make up for usability, especially given that they're not that comfortable to wear (see inset). We already knew that AKG likes to produce audio with a V-shaped frequency response (lots of bass and treble but nothing in the mid-range), and the K340s are a great example of this. These headphones produce very low sounds and really put the emphasis on them, but fortunately, the result isn't too mushy. Treble is also too audible, and listening rapidly becomes a shore. It's a real shame that the mid-range is so far behind, but no matter how much you force the equalizer, it's almost impossible to bring it back up.

AKG K 340 headphones

AKG has been in the business of making audio equipment for more than 60 years, so it was only a matter of time before the company tackled the portable music market. In the expanding line of AKG's earbud-style headphones, you'll find the $120 K 340 earphones. The set offers surprisingly open sound for an in-ear model, but comfort and potential durability issues may be a turn-off for some people. We're still inclined to recommend the cheaper Klipsch Image S4 first, but if inline volume controls is a compelling feature for you, the K 340 might prove tempting. The design of the AKG K 340 earphones is a bit of a disappointment. Its foremost issue comfort. While the earpieces are rather small overall, the apertures are some of the largest we've encountered. Their considerable girth tends to put pressure on the inside of smaller ears, and the three sizes of silicone ear tips included in the package do not alleviate the issue. The other problem is that the cable descending from each earbud is exceptionally thin--perhaps one of the thinnest we've seen--that raises some concern for its durability. This combined with the plastic earpieces also makes the K 340s feel cheaper than their $120 price tag implies.
