FWIW, I'm very happy with my new AKG K391NC noise cancelling in-ears - it seems I actually prefer them to my full sized AKG K601 headphones, and those have a very good reputation. The K601 might be a little light on the bass - the K391NC has what I perceive to be a fuller bass, and that's the reason I prefer them. They sound every bit as bright and clear as the K601 to me too.I actually mainly bought these for the noise cancelling, but I reckon I'll be often using them for music as well! The noise cancelling is good enough for my purposes - I know they are not the best though. (and I don't want complete noise cancelling anyway)
Greg.
