Comfort and isolation
As with the Astrotec GX-50, the GX-40 is pretty easy to pop in and take out, which is useful when we are taking a walk and suddenly decide to enter a grocery store for some necessities, etc. With that said, the GX-40 is the most comfortable pair of headphones to wear for a long time. I started to feel the burden on my ears after wearing the GX-40 for two to three hours, although not to the point of desperately wanting to take it off.
The isolation offered is the same as the GX-50 - par excellence. Although it doesn't have the active noise-cancellation feature of the some higher-end speakers, it still does a good job of passively sealing out the sound from the outside world. I used the GX-40 on a crowded bus, on an airplane and on a speed train and it blocked out more than 95% of the noise.
CONCLUSION: The Astrotec GX-40 may look like the GX-50, but the sound it offers is quite different. The GX-50 is more designed for bass heads, as it offers excellent sub bass rumble, slam and punch. The GX-40 is much more balanced in the bass, mids and highs, and presents much better vocals and piano sound. Overall, I would describe the Astrotec GX-40 as one of the best, if not the best in-ear headphones priced below $70.
