![]() ![]() In popular music and jazz, especially from the 1950s to the 1970s, it's limitations are not as noticable as with classical music. Slightly exagerated bass and somewhat roll offed highs characterize the sound, which is nevertheless quite appealing. This may be because of the closed cups (but not closed construction, there is ventilation) or the driver/capsule itself. Well, I decided to set away an hour comparing three of my AKGs: K140, K340 and K400.įirst of all, the K140 has nice punch and presence but can't properly resolve massed strings in orchestral recordings. I listen to it a lot and hope to come back with further impressions when I've really grasped its character.įinally, let me direct your attention to the spare part request at the beginning of the thread. The K140 is lively and fine sounding as it is. The headphone's construction is well thought-out though, and I think the good design is inherently limiting any dramatic improvements. Some dynamat on the inside of the cups may be beneficial to the sound, as may some putty on the plastic driver baffle. I haven't checked but I assume these driver capsules have an open "bass" hole (see I've put a felt ring at the back of the aluminum cups but nothing else. Both cups are open though, around the rim where the black plastic ring is hanging in the cardan suspension (as opposed to the cups which are solidly fixed to the headband with a screw). ![]() This original K140 have solid aluminum cups, the follow-up version has circular ventilation slits in the cups. ![]()
