My pair of K340's says "ELECTROSTATIC-DYNAMIC SYSTEMS" on the cups, but I noticed other pairs have "ELECTROSTAT-DYNAMIC SYSTEMS" on them instead. Does this indicate any difference (age, type (bassy/non-bassy), production run, etc.)?

(I'm sorry if this has been answered many times. I tried a search and came up with nothing.)

Also, are there any Headphile K340 owners that preferred the sound of their K340's stock over the modded? I ask because at the moment I don't have any real complaints about the sound of the stock version, but I have never heard the Headphile version so I cannot make any conclusions.

Thanks.

I have the "Electrostat" version. You've heard mine. Is there a difference with yours? I realize that it's been more than a month so it's probably hard to make such a determination.

Mine are being modded by Larry right now. Maybe we could meet for a comparison after they come back?

Mine say "Electrostat-Dynamic Systems" and I purchased them new in 1985. Not sure if that tells you anything, but I'd suspect that the "Electrostatic-Dynamic Systems" moniker is the name given to the older version.

Out of my three pair's one is labeled with "electrostatic-dynamic system" the other two are "electrostat-dynamic system". The one labeled with "electostatic" is the stereotypical bass light version with AKG on the headband. All three are different internally though. Good eye !!! (I never noticed).

I had never noticed either, mine are the Electrostatic-Dynamic Systems one, AKG on the headband. Good catch.

Mine also had the AKG logo on the headband, and are the bass light version.

Mine say Electrostat and don't have the AKG logo. White passives.

Mine says Electrostat-Dynamic Systems (and has the AKG logo on the headband) and is the bass-light version.

It seems we can't define the amount of bass by this marking either, judging from above posts. Well, mine say Electrostatic but are the bass heavy version, at least compared to the other pair I owned.

Mine are electrostat - but the bass seems a bit light if anything.
