Here is a new foldable portable headphone from AKG, the K404. How does it differ from the current line up of foldable portables? For now the main difference seems to be the sliding metal headband mechanism, which is not available in the current K450, K430, and K420 phones. The model number convention does indicate that a new series of K40X cans that’ll be different from the K4X0 series. The photograph below looks like a 3D rendering though.

On a side note, we were in the middle of writing a review of the AKG K400 and the K401 full size headphones. And so when I saw the news headline, I thought that AKG has resurrected those old headphones. Turns out I was wrong. Did you know that AKG made two different K340 models? One is the original K340, a dynamic-electrostatic full size headphone that we reviewed a while ago, but the new K340 is an IEM with nothing in common to the old K340.
