According to our earbuds expert
The AKG N40 hi res earbuds are made for musicians and sound engineers. Thanks to the frequency range of 10 to 40,000Hz, the sound is detailed. With the replaceable filters, you can adjust the sound to your liking. This way, you can modulate bass tones, mid-range tones, and high tones. The cable of the earbuds is worn behind the ears, so they'll stay firmly put without any cables getting in the way. The N40 comes with a complete set of accessories. Besides the filters, 4 sizes of earbuds are included to ensure the right fit, as well as an airplane adapter, cleaning tool, and storage pouch. They also come with 2 cables, 1 with remote control and 1 without. You can easily disconnect the cables and replace them when they're broken.

I've had it for a few weeks now and I'm really happy with the performance. In the beginning it took some getting used to from my Sennheiser IE8s, personally I might not appreciate it immediately, but now listen for about 50 hours, further I am fully adjusted to the sound and it is wonderful to listen even when you have the earpiece for hours on end. has.
For comparison I put in my old well-functioning IE8's and listened to the same song (Spotify - Premium hi-quality streaming + Audioquest Dragonfly Red USB DAC) and 'wow' this sounds incredibly 'dull' compared to the clarity in the treble area of my N40's, the bass in both is well present, only in the N40's it is more controlled. By this I mean that the bass in the IE8s comes to your ear as a true cacophony, while with the N40s you can distinguish individual bass sound tracks much sharper.
I have always held my IE8s in high regard (6 years in use and 1000 hours of listening), especially compared to the common earphones under say 80 euros, but this is certainly a true upgrade from the IE8s, I think I bought it for 200,-.
Which I do want to post as a comment (with my limited experience and a lot of listening reviews on the internet). Are these price range earphones together with some backup from a DAC about the maximum equipment you need to get the most out of your (non-lossless) quality of Spotify Premium, and how that brings it to life with this set-up!
Without actually having much experience with Hi-Res headphones/IEM's, but after a lot of research and reading on the internet and many internet reviews further, for *** euros I want value for money, this IEM appealed to me the most at. So far I haven't regretted a cent (well not figuratively then ;) probably). Now hope they have as much stamina as my old IEMs.

Very clean sound. I tested these with the Meridian Explorer and the Shure SHA900.
