Summary: Thanks to their uncharacteristically open sound, the AKG K 340 earphones are a fine purchase for the price.
Pros: Sound more open than most in-ear models, Overall sound quality is solid, Package includes handy extras, such as an inline volume control and hard-shelled carrying case
Cons: Feel cheap for the price, Large aperture may prove uncomfortable for some users, Bass can be muddy and overpowering when listening to rock songs

Conclusion: We're inclined to recommend the Klipsch Image S4s over the AKG K 340s. If inline volume controls are a compelling feature for you, though, the 340s may prove tempting.
