Default SOLD: AKG K340 headphones - with Sommer Cable OFC mod - Give me your offers!

Hello,

These are now sold - thank you for your interest.

Up for sale is a set of AKG K340 headphones which i bought long ago now - i cannot afford to keep so many headphones any more (time and money) so they've got to go. There are many good things and one bad thing to say about them.

EDIT: To make it more clear, in case it isn't from the "bad" section below, these are sold as defective, since they can be said to be so with high probability.

The good:
- Excellent frame condition, little to no wear.
- The headband works fine - elastic bands afaik are original.
- The earpads are soft pleather also with no visible wear.
- Has never been in a smoking environment.
- This is the non-bass heavy version with red driver enclosures inside

The bad:
- I don't know if it is just my SDS Labs amp which isn't up to it - but the treble does cut out sometimes in both left and right channels. When it happens (and often it is rare), it is quickly brought to life again by slightly changing the volume.

Thus - i don't know if they are defective, or my amp is not up to the job. Unfortunately i have no other means of testing it, which i can rely on at all.

Modifications:
- It has been modified to a dual-side cable and terminated with a Neutrik 1/4" TRS jack.
- The foam inside is also removed as per one of the mods on the board.

The cable is: 3 metres of Sommer Cable Peac0ck - sommer cable | SC-PEACOCK MKII | Bulk Cables | Patch- and Microphone Cable
The TRS jack is: Neutrik NP3C-BAG - Neutrik - Audio - 1/4" Prof. Phone Plugs, C-Series - NP3C-BAG

If the buyer is interested i can include 2x Neutrik NC3FX OR 2x Neutrik NC3MX 3-pin XLR for free, new and sealed.
I can also include the original coiled stock cable if it is of any interest.

Shipping costs/policy:
Since the postal service here is trying to rip as much off as possible, i am not charging on packaging material. Estimated weight in total would be 2 kg/4.5 lbs.

US/Rest of the World: $50 - $40 if sent as economy (no insurance)
Europe/Russia: $40 - $28 if sent as economy (no insurance)
Denmark: $17 - $12 if sent as economy (no insurance)

Price:
I don't know. Give me your best offer. I can't test them to make sure if anything's wrong with them or not, or if my amp is too weak.
So tell me what you think these should sell for.

and at some point in the future - Payment methods:
Paypal or for EU: bank transfer with IBAN/BIC

(No returns)

Bump.
Don't be scared... These will be perfect as a replacement part headphone, and thus i don't expect offers ANYWHERE near the cost of other functional K340s selling here.
No offer is too stupid - but i reserve the right to say no
