K 390NC: Great when not wearing T-Shirts!
+ great sound for all music styles
+ great comfort
+ great design
+ great functionality
+ great with iPhone
- iPhone plug not angeled
- clip of NC box is not always tight enough
- NC box is a pain when wearing clothing without buttons or a pocket... try to use it on a T-shirt and move around... it wil not stay attached for long.
- cord between NC box and plugs must be longer.
Allround impression:
excellent, beautiful designed and comfortable set that I think is worth its price.

High Quality and Technology Earphone
The K390 NC is a very wonderful earphone to have. It has a wonderful sound quality as well as the Active Noise Reduction to serve a high quality music hearing experience. The earphone itself is very comfortable in my ear. The only missing thing is that the design is not the best it could be.

Excellent
Well, i'm a Amateur-Audiophile, although i own a few brands ranging from "AT", Sony, KOSS, Sennheiser, beyer, finally, i found the only one and one and only k390 NC. Why? i'm a headphone fan, not an inner earphone fan, Shockingly i am mesmerised by the design of K 390 NC, Simply fell in love it. But then i hesitated, whether to get a headphone, Although i tried k701 but it's steep pricing but excellent quality for my ears, i opt for the k390C, design is suitable for my small ears, good quality bass, and nice crystal clear sound. And of course if you have enough cash to spend... Why not get a K701?!

Excellent Quality Head Phones
After the purchase of these headphones I was so excited to test them out. When I was testing the headphones out i noticed that the quality of the sound was unbelievable. I would definitely recommend this set of headphones if you don’t mind having the noise cancelling module clipped onto your shirt.

High Fidelity, but low mobility
Bought for iPod Classic, it sounds better than previous simple in-ears for 40$, both NC on and off.
It confused me a lot. First I was unable to clip its NC module on a wear - NC Module with cables makes a large letter "T".
NC module works with clicks in left headphone in high noise environment, e.g. in the underground train. On the streets - there're absent.
The carrying case - AKG tells it's for carrying an iPod with headphones. Maybe, it's true for iPod Nano or Shuffle, but not with iPod Classic.
I ask AKG staff - put some photos with layout of iPod + phones inside leather case. Thank you.

Really good sound - extremely poor design
Just got these today - read a lot of reviews but none of them mentioned that the NC-module was hardwired. It is not possible to remove the NC-module, which in turn makes them useless when you don't need the NC. If the module could be removed then the headphones would be excellent.
I would not recommend them unless you can live with the bulky NC-module to "hang" 50cm from your ears.
