    An AKG K702 cable customer comment (thought it was funny and sums it up in short order… language cleaned up).

   "  I'm going to cuss!   FXXXING AMAZING!!!!  I had doubts- FXXXING WOW!  Right out of the box this cable lifted the veil that I DIDNT EVEN KNOW WAS THERE!!!!!!!! AMAZING "

     The left entry side mini XLR cable is used on a number of AKG headphones, with a couple of the most popular (K702 & K271) as what I know it fits. There may be some others, but not sure what they are. I've pre-set the angle coming off the plug to help with stress at that spot (but still proper cable care on FAQ page). Price on these cables now includes shipping, please choose proper destination choice (USA or International).

K-340 Standard Mods Included in Main Pricing

If you have a stock K-340, the elastic adjusters are probably near useless. I either replace those with more beefy elastic or adjust your current elastics if I deem them worthy. I change the single entry cable to dual entry. To do this correct, a new clamp must be made along with a slot for the cable on the right cover (which I do both of). I recable via a sort of bypass path directly to the bass driver. This bypasses one set of internal wires, solder joints, PCB traces and in general sounds better. I change the front plastic screens to sound transparent fabric (shown below), which allows the sound waves to go to your ears rather than bounce around in a plastic mesh. You can see in the pic below this mod how open the drivers become to your ears (shown pre cloth treatment). I change the internal damping to complete the mod. I do one VERY important driver tweak that no one else does, nor knows about :-)

Occasionally I offer a complete modded pair on Headphone Deals page (if they aren't there, I have none for sale at that time). Pictured below with optional HD-XLR (additional over normal black XLR).
