Hey everyone, I recently picked up a pair of these in good shape in their original box for $10 (Quite a score for some vintage TOTL headphones - I knew nothing about these but figured they were worth their price given it said electrostatic on the box. I've heard there are three versions (Bass...

Well guys here it is. My lovely AKG K340 arrived just week ago and I thought that it will be nice to let you know what my impressions are. First of all I would like to say, I LOVE IT A LOT! In the beginning I thought What, muddy BASS with some echo sound. Just couldn't believe it that this...

I got the beats by dre about 2 months ago, and they always go bad. They bass was pretty good, but somewhat distorted, and the treble wasnt good at all, im returning them for full price tomorrow, so ill have upto 150$ to buy good earbuds. So far ive heard the bose ie2 and image s4's were the...

A most extraordinary thing happened the other day. It was my uncle’s birthday and I browsed through one of his old photo albums. He used to be a radio operator in the merchant fleet before retirement. One photo especially attracted my attention as I saw a man with a pair of headphones. It was...

hey guys im looking for good over the ear headphones that will have great sound quality as well as comfortability.   i recently bought the beats by dr. dre pros and i was very unsatisfied with the comfort of the headphones.   can someone recommend me a good pair of headphones. thank you...

Hi guys,   I basically grew up listening to the K340s, which I still have and love. However, I'd like to have an alternative. Because I'm not a wealthy person, I'd rather have it for under $500...   Now, the way I see it, the K340's treble is unsurpassed by any dynamic, and having grow...

I've been getting into vintage AKGs lately and they just sound so awesome for their age and current price. However, they all have one major caveat - the comfort. As it stands, every one of the pleather pads I've gotten with the vintage K240s (so far, I've gotten four K240 variants and a K340)...

Hiya, It's been months since I posted on here. I might be thinking about selling my AKG K340 Electrostatic Dynamic Headphones. How much do these Headphones fetch for? These ones are unmodified though. I don't know what year my ones are from? They don't have the AKG K340 Logo on the Head...

  

The headphones I regretted the most was the skullcandy skullcrusher. I bought them for 100cad from the source.ca It broke after 5 months, the driver stopped working for some weird reason.. I should have bought a decent dac but that was before I joined head-fi. : frown::f rown:

Hello, someone here can tell me the right price range for AKG K340 Headphones ? For a pair in good conditions : 80-100$ 100-150$ 200$ or more ?   I'm about to start the hunt for these on ebay (ebay.de)...    I saw they are considered like a mythic headphones on some french test...

Well i bowed out of the auction at 150, i was keeping it a secret until the price went over my budget. But now i'll let you guys check out the auction if you havent seen it already   http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170558004891   Good luck if you jump in, there is...

I am going to have my NOS K340s recabled (balanced) by either Headphile or APureSound. It seems the majority of people have Larry at Headphile recable and modify their K340s, but Alex at APS also offers the service.    So I was wondering: has anyone has compared the Headphile and APS...

for <$300 What's the most 3d, breathy, airy, transparent, realistic(good soundstage) headphone. I want interesting  mids/highs which aren't too harsh or sibilant for techno/trance.I already have dt770/80 for my bass music but i don't want it to lack bass, i want balance but bass isn't priority...

Sorry about the german... I just found it funny for some reason. To translate: My AKG K340 electrostat-dynamic system Hi-Fi-Stereo-Headphones have just arrived! After I finish this post I will try to take some snapshots of my headphones and Larry's []www.headphile.com] handywork, but...

This little powerhouse is almost unheard of here on headfi, which is a shame. Reviews online are practically nil*, and to the best of my knowledge ALO Audio is the only distributor in North America. edit: Headfonia posted a review a couple weeks ago: http://www.headfonia.com/ortofon-hd-q7/  ...

Hi all,   I traded for a pair of modded vintage AKG K340 headphones, and they arrived yesterday, and sounded great. Problem is, one of the dynamic driver elements just died on me. I checked it with a multimeter, and it is indeed shot. Does anyone out there have an extra AKG K340...

Hi. I own an older but electrically fine pair of AKG K340's. The elastic mechanism has loosened and at least one of the rubber bands has broken. This causes the phones to hang nearly on my shoulders which I suspect is not the sonically optimal location. The national AKG service tells that...

Anyone else have fit issues with the K340?  I love how they sound, but they seem to have a pretty serious design flaw (or I have a weirdly shaped head ).  The cups won't swivel/angle up enough to match the angle of my head, so the bottom of the pads don't seal under my ears, they just kind of...

And there is actually nice history behind them:   I bought them from a man, whose father was working for AKG at the time when the K340 and K240 were produced. He (father) was given few pairs of headphones (k340, K141, K240)  to test them at home. They were used only for few hours and are in...

I decided to buy what is actually my FIFTH pair of K340's - Larry from Headphile was selling a NOS pair - here is his description: Quote: AKG K340 NOS... Out of my personal collection, the most excellent K340. Yes, the box has wear but the headphones inside are 30 years new. Probably...

So, recently picked up good pair of akg k340 stock.  Seems like some people are certain they have either bass light or bass heavy.  Anyway of telling with out comparing side by side.  Mine appear to have gold foil inside and do not have "akg" on the headband.  Any help would great; either way...

So, buying a pair of AKG, k340 electrostatic headphones and looking to see if my non-reference, old style cosmic headroom amp with the base station one will drive them "correctly".  I know many people dont like there sound; mostly because they are not being driven correctly.  So, any thoughts on...

Next week my K340 should be coming to my doorstep. How would these sound compare to the K701? To my ears I find the K701 to be smooth and dynamic sounding with no huge bass. But they do pack a decent punch. The seller of the K340 said it will sound less brighter and more punchier over...
