AKG launch everyday earphones

Looks like AKG aren't happy with Sennheiser getting all the cake, now they too are releasing their own series of earphones for everyday use.

Prices range from 10 € for the K 309 to 80 € for the K 319: enough to dig into that growing iPod-sparked market that's been dominated by Philips & Sony so far.

The K 319 has boosted bass and a volume control. It comes with an extension cable, a plane adaptor, a hard case and a cable rolling device.

K 309: semi open and light.

K 311: semi-open, weighs 5 grams, lots of bass. Available in 3 colors and comes with extra pads.

K 313: has larger transductors (13 mm). Comes in 2 colors, with pouch.

K 315: semi-open available in brick red or black. Volume control on the cable.

K 317: supposedly the first semi-open in-ear earphone to weigh as little as 5 grams. Retractable 50 cm cable, pouch, cable storage device.
