    AKG K 271 MK IIPublished on 12/12/12 at 00:53
    the AKG K 271 MKII were on the higher end of my price range so I was hesitating a lot before I dove in and purchased them. But eventually I fished out the 250 to get them. Originally I was not too happy with the design of them because I just felt like they were kind of too plain to cost that much money. But they kind of grew on me after a month or so because they look really clean.
    When it comes to comfort then these are the most comfortable that I think that I have ever had. The ear cups are very soft and they just fit right on your ear. I have even fell asleep before wearing these and didn’t wake up with a headache or uncomfortable. They truly feel amazing and when adjusted to the prope…

Originally I was not too happy with the design of them because I just felt like they were kind of too plain to cost that much money. But they kind of grew on me after a month or so because they look really clean.
    When it comes to comfort then these are the most comfortable that I think that I have ever had. The ear cups are very soft and they just fit right on your ear. I have even fell asleep before wearing these and didn’t wake up with a headache or uncomfortable. They truly feel amazing and when adjusted to the proper size you will not even notice that you have them on but you will feel the weight of them because they weight over 1 pound.
    When you are purchasing them you can pick which style of ear pads you want, I chose the leather ear pads but you can also choose velvet. But if I wanted to I could always change out the ear pads down the road because leather can get a weird feeling on your skin after too long so it might be nice to have a pair of velvet cups too especially now that these are my primary headphones now and the ones that I prefer over all of my other pairs. They are also the most expensive that I have purchase so I have to make sure that I protect them.
    The frequency range on them is 16 Hz to 28 kHz with a driver size of 30mm. The AKG K 271 comes with a 16 inch coil cable and a standard straight cable in 10 foot. You can change out your cables at any time because they are detachable.

    - No storage pouch
    - Given the size of the atria, not terrible to get around the neck
    - Not able to listen in one ear / sound off automatically
    - Repisse sleazy atmosphere in very quiet


    As'm writing in the title, first skeptical, my Denon 7506 and the sony mdr really flatters the sound (good bass, dynamics etc. ...)

    Limit initially disappointed (because any more objective!) ... Do not forget that this is a closed studio headphones ... for sound recording and mixing, and it is this perspective that I aquis.Je have wanted as neutral as possible ..
    I ended up buying the Sony MDR 7506 as a complement to its power, its low dynamic but it is much more tiring.
    after 2 years of use ... I love the AKG 271 mk 2 and the choice I would do without a doubt, contrary to initial ...

    A good monitoring headphones!

    it's been 3 years since I use it and the least I can say is that it is very well balanced in sound and very comfortable to wear, even for several hours (taking regular breaks!).
    I like the fact that the cable can be disconnected, it avoids the unwanted pulling!
    excellent value for money and I recommend it to all who wish to invest in a monitoring headphones

    - How long have you use it?

    A week.

    - - What is the particular feature you like best and least?

    More:
    - Systm that cuts the sound when the headphones enlve.
    - The two cords (one right and one in "softphone" dsl I do not know the exact term)
    - The velvet cushions in addition to leather dj on the headphone.
    - Jack 6 which is screwed.

    Cons:

    - The Premire dsagrable costs are frankly and with hours of use get really correct. It's just the case with any headphones but it's really dsagrable to beginners.
    - It's not really a default but for the proper use of a headphone amp is ncessaire in many cases.

    Hello all
    I possde this headphone for several days.
    This is a good product trs, one of the best I think.
    A headphone can not "INTERPRETATION" Manir his music. Musical instruments cotent trs expensive and I do not see the name of what their horn should be dnatures by an accessory 150. With the AKG, stamps are restitus Fidler. For acute severe snoring and flatterers, it will choose a different MODEL.
    Here is MUCH ... music.

    I chose the K 271 mkII as there was a promotion on it and I do not regret that choice at all. given some notice as sometimes trs "sharp" on the headphones, (it takes time to get used to it, means not enough this or that, etc ...) I was wondering what was going to give and if all went well out sounds and if a would not be too "flat" to be a neutral force.

    Well actually, I'm satisfied with TRS. It's true that I have not tried many other headphones. But I find rendering trs net and not confused (from the hd-212 o eat up all the bass). So at her, for me it is good trs.

    Small least: I am a little earache APRS a moment of costs, (but I may be weird ears) with a velvet coverings give a little warm, (I have not tried the leather protection) is not too much discrtion, we really look stupid with this Bouzin on the head (can not be used elsewhere than at home, in just to get out frankly (but it's true that a pro headphones, so normal).

    Voil. So good balance of races trs. I do it again this choice.

    I use it for several weeks before I had a K271 MK2 version is with no surprise Fortunately!
    I tried Sony, Sennheiser, but nothing comparable is not the same category, the K271 is really made for the studio while the other for listening Hifi.
    Its advantage that is sound and dry without fireworks, which can confuse someone who has not used, but it is fast (its disadvantage is its advantage)
    I advise every person looking for a pro quality studio headphones.
    The quality is very good, it is not so expensive, we see that certain brand headphones sell for double the price of the crap that you loose after 6 months, the K271 is a solid mk2 .

    acute: not explode in your mouth has piercing the timpani.

    little more there is a switch that allows when removing the headphone off the sound, and the headphone by its structure, is comfortable to wear.

    I use it primarily as monitoring headphones to make my mix on Pro Tools.
    with a m-audio usb interface ultra 8r, the various track and left right stereo effects emerge very well.

    ◦ What is your opinion about the value for the price?

    Sounds a bit expensive for a studio headphones (139 €) but when you love it does not count.

    ◦ Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...

    as I said before, it makes little time that I have but from what I've seen or heard rather should I say, know-how is the akg appointment.
    still more to see the durability of HP.

    Hello everybody

    I've been owning these headphones for a few days.

    They are a very good product, one of the best if you ask me.

    Headphones can't really color the sound. Music instruments are expensive and I just can't conceive that their sound can be altered by an accessory. These AKG faithfully reproduce every signal. If you want fat and growling lows, choose another model.

    With these you hear... music.
