K271 MKII

Great quality headphones. I'm no audio engineer but the EQ sounds flatter than anything I've listened to before (this is good for use with mixing). Personally, I found these really comfortable, the headband consistently adjusts well for a comfortable fit (however, there are some reviews that say otherwise - I have longer hair so perhaps that helps pad it out a bit). I will note that in prolonged use, my ears do get quite warm - though I think that would be the same with most over-ear headphones (I had the same problems in prolonged used with my Sennheiser HD 201). The semi-openness makes a huge difference to closed-back style (again, comparing to my HD 201) - harshly panned sounds sound like they are coming from the extremes of the side of your head - and by nature the sound sounds more 'open', less collecting inside the middle of your head. Obviously of note, if you work in a somewhat noisy environment these are probably not the headphones to go for, you can still hear a somewhat decent amount from your surroundings, but I'd imagine a lot less than full-open back style headphones. The build quality feels sturdy enough, I have dropped them a few times and have never had to be concerned about them having any perceivable damage. If I remember correctly, it ships with two ear cups - One made of spongy material and the other made of leathery material. I've only tried the leathery one (I figured my ears would get to hot in the spongy ones) and have found them very comfortable. The headphones also come with two cables with Mini(?)-XLR connectors on one end and a 3.5mm jack on the other. One is a long straight cable, the other a wound cable. I use both cables. When I'm on my laptop I use the wound cable, and at my PC I use the straight cable (as it needs to be routed to the other side of my desk). I haven't particularly tested it, but I don't think the way you put the headphones on matters (The cups and headband seems to be uni-directional) so if you're bothered about having the cable on your left, I shouldn't imagine you'd suffer any discomfort from rotating the headphones around - obviously remember to swap the channels on your hardware though. For the price - I'm really impressed, and more than satisfied. I've owned these for 8 months and not had a single problem or issue. Would recommend.

solid and nicely isolated due to their closed back nature, these headphones are ideal for my uses, they are solely used as my drumming headphones, so I can jam along to my songs without having to play my music too loudly, and stopping me going deaf from my drum kit too. Although when drumming I do not really get the whole benefit of the AKG sound quality, I have tried them running off my PC with a little dot mk 2 tube amp, and have to say the quality is nearly as good as my AKG K702s I use for playing games, and listening to music on primarily (although due to the closed nature of the k271s I am reviewing here, the sound stage is more compressed. For prolonged use these headphones are comfy, and will enclose my ears instead of partially trapping them, even with my glasses on. I consider my ears relatively average size, so would like to think this would be the case for most people, but it's worth trying them if possible. They are very secure in my head, I wouldn't say tight, but hold enough that I can play like a madman on my drums and headbang along without them falling off - which would lead me to think that if they do sit over part of your ear they would get uncomfortable with long periods of wearing. The cans come with a nice long cable, with your 3.5 audio jack as standard for mp3 players and phones, and a screw in larger phono adaptor for plugging into most other things, including some guitar amps, or my other electric drums =). In my opinion a very good set of cans for the price, and I would definitely recommend to drummers or other musicians due to their isolation, and nice long, sturdy cable and option of phono or standard 3.5 jack. A high recommendation from me.

I ordered these to replace my previous set which had broken. I paid about £125 for my originals; these were a steal at £85 so I was a little tense. They arrived when stated, well packaged, brand new, very pleased. (I have of course now seen them for £78!) . These are for use in my home studio. They are "closed back" to prevent the track you are listening to in them from being too easily picked up by the mic' when recording a second track. (Also know as "bleed" if you are new to recording here, searching for items AND guidance) . (If you are using headphones for editing/mixing, as opposed to overdubbing/recording, then you should also get a set of "open back" headphones, which allow the sound to escape through grilles in the ear pieces, giving a more natural sound for mixing. Basically; get a set of each, and use them as I describe. I have seen reviews on line by some people criticimg the "lack of punchy bass". These people do not understand the recording process; they are probably just LISTENING to music on band camp or you tube or whatever. You can use toy headphones or ear buds for that! These K271 are a professional tool. The whole point of these is NOT to have a too punchy "anything"! Not TO exagerate the bass, Mid, or treble.....so that your judgements when EQing are based on a sound that is UNBIASED as much as possible. Hope that helps folks. OH! And they have a grooooovy built in "switch". If you take the headphones off when recording, they automatically cut out the sound! Which means that if you put them down on the desk or whatever the sound will NOT accidentally be heard by the mic...because it has been stopped. Far out! ( man!) Hope that info is good for somebody, and good luck in all you do. Steve.

This is the best headset I have ever had in my life!! After I have used multiple bass heavy over ear heasets throught my life, even though I was always a classical music lover, when I put on these headsets, I felt that I have come back to my roots once again! I have never felt more nostalgic putting on a headset before! To me true music should always have more focus on the mid freqiencies and a more flat soundstage instead of having very high mids and treble. Apart from its crystal clear sound quality because of which there is great instrument seperation for studio and monitoring purposes, I love the headset due to its nostalgic golden looks, and its comfort, due to the semi-open and light weight body and push back leather head band(even though the leather ear pads tend to be a bit warm), with high quality 3m long cables. In short, these headsets are best for true music lovers (mainly classical & good sustain effect when plugged in to digital piano using the 6.3mm jack, especially for the main treble area were more emphasis is needed) but would be unsuitable for bass heavy rap tunes.

I have a blackstar tube guitar amp and the AKG K240 pairs perfectly for practice session daily. Best part is that is is semi open back so the sound is crisp and well balanced without any processing most other headphones on the market do. The guitar Mids and high notes sound amazing. I also use the K240 to listen to music with my Ipod. The K240 headphone is super light and Ear buds are so comfortable that you hardly feel it on the head. Another great bonus is the long 3m cable and it easily pops out of the main head unit as due to its xrl connection

スタジオモニタースピーカーで聞いたときのような無理のないバランスの取れた音域とオープンエア独特の開放的な音が大変気に入っております。 非常にお手頃価格の優れた商品だと思います。

Ya existen reseñas muy buenas del producto, así que me limitaré a dar mi opinión: Sonido. Si lo que buscas son un par de audífonos que te permitan escuchar la música tal como fue grabada estos te servirán. Sin ser ingeniero en sonido, músico, ni audiófilo (palabrita muy popular recientemente), debo decir que sí soy un poco exigente con la música que escucho, y estos audífonos no decepcionan. Siento los agudos y los medios muy balanceados, nunca me han molestado las fluctuaciones como para tener que bajar el volumen, y los escucho bastante claros. Los bajos son otra historia. Estos sí se sienten un poco flojos, especialmente en algunos tipos de música, no los siento tan "ricos" como en otros audífonos ni tan profundos, pero eso para mí no es una desventaja. Al tener un sonido bastante plano me han permitido escuchar algunas sutilezas que no habría podido con audífonos de menor calidad. Por ejemplo, al escuchar dos interpretaciones diferentes de la misma pieza de guitarra puedo escuchar la diferencia entre ellas no solamente por la manera de tocar del músico, sino también por detalles como si está usando las uñas o los dedos para tocar, algo que si bien no me es importante, es interesante notar. Para géneros como rap, electrónica y metal no me encantan. Los bajos no suenan tan divertidos ni profundos y a mi parecer a los medios y agudos les falta un poco de "ataque" que hace muy disfrutables estos géneros en otros audífonos. Comodidad. Aquí flaquean un poco, la banda que se apoya sobre la cabeza es una tira de vinil un tanto gruesa pero muy flexible aunque sin nada de colchón, lo que los hace un poco incómodos después de varias horas de uso. Las almohadillas son grandes, rodean perfectamente mis orejas (que son bastante grandes) y no ejercen mucha presión a pesar de que uso lentes, sin embargo al ser de vinil después de alrededor de dos horas de uso causan que comience a sudar y tenga que dejar de utilizarlos por unos minutos. Cambiaría las almohadillas por unas aterciopeladas como las de los BD. Portabilidad. Como casi todos los audífonos de este estilo, no son NADA portables. Están diseñados para escuchar música en un lugar fijo, cuentan con un cable largo, son bastante voluminosos y no se doblan ni cuentan con un estuche para transportarlos. Si deseas utilizarlos en el transporte público, mientras caminas o peor, en el gimnasio o en bici, no son el producto para ti. Estética. Son negro con dorado, bastante llamativos. No me encanta la combinación de colores, de ser completamente negros me gustarían mucho más, aunque qué se le va a hacer, si comprara audífonos por estética hubiese comprado otra marca. Conclusión. No he probado mejores audífonos que me brinden el sonido (plano) y calidad que estos AKG. Me gusta como suenan, los puedo usar por periodos prolongados de tiempo sin que me lastimen y en fin, los pros sobrepasan a los contras por mucho. Si deseas adentrarte en el mundo de los audífonos "para audiófilos" me parece una buena entrada de bajo costo y buena calidad. Si quieres algo más "divertido" y no tan plano, puedes encontrar otras marcas por menores y mayores precios, en gustos se rompen géneros y no todos buscan máxima fidelidad a la hora de escuchar su música. Cómpralos, no te vas a arrepentir, y si lo haces, no gastaste 5k< en un par de audífonos que no utilizarás.
