OK, I've never seen these before, and can't find any info anywhere.

They are being described as "electrostatic". Anybody know anything about them?

they look to me like a supra-aural and older version of the k340. Like how the k141 is the supraaural version of the k240.

Curiosity got the better of me. . . .I was the high bidder. These looked too interesting to pass up. As soon as I get them and give them a listen I'll let everyone know how they sound.

I'm anxiously awaiting your response...in case you can't tell by my postings, I'm a bit of an AKG nut.

Well, since this will be my third AKG phone, I guess I'm there with you. . . .

I got them in the mail today and have given them a quick listen. The first thing that jumped out at me was their midrange--it's fairly transparent and "quick." They seem a little rolled-off on the top and bottom end, but still seem natural. The pair I bought are in pretty good shape, but you can tell that they've been in storage (the seller told me he bought them at an "estate sale").

So far, so good. Not too bad for $75 bucks.

Sounds a LOT like how I would describe my 340's...I'd be interested in how they sound side by side. Oh well...looks like I've added another item to my wish list!!

One downside is they're not very comfortable. They rest on your ears and become bothersome after a short while. I am waiting until I get the replacement pads before I use them again.

I, too, would like to compare them side-by-side. I guess I'll have to get a pair of 340s. . . .

Good luck...based on all this chatter, I'm thinking that the price just went way up.
