Headphone Tests: Classic Earbuds from AKG and Sennheiser

In-ear headphones have begun to take over the market for on-the-go audio, but 'traditional' headphones, that don't go all the way into your ear are still enormously popular, partly thanks to their low cost, but also because many customers are still very familiar with them.

Today, we're looking at two of the main players in this market, AKG and Sennheiser.

We've tested all of AKG's collection of earbuds, leaving their in-ear headphones to one side for the time being:

• AKG K309
• AKG K311
• AKG K313
• AKG K315
• AKG K317
• AKG K319

So far, we've had the chance to test three of Sennheiser's options, but there are to follow:

• MX 260
• MX 460
• MX 660
