AKG Auriculares K271 Mkii

AKG's reasonably priced cans make a bid for a place in your studio

I own these.. Im a professional musician. the wire that goes through to each side of the headset has a piece of plastic connectied to it... held in by one screw...that holds the wire to the headset. this plastic is brittle and breaks when the headset earmuffs turn from side to side.....the screw pulls against the plastic housing and breaks it.... i have had mine replaced three times which requires you to take the headset apart and solder the wire back onto the headset.. this is clearly planned obsolescence.... the sound reproduction of these headphones is amazing but the stupidity of the design prevents me from recommending this product to anyone. if youre going to design something.. make the product have enough strength to last...

I was looking for affordable studio headphones to mix and master my own music tracks, basically guitars, bass and drums at night so my family wouldn't have to sleep in a tent ;-). As of today the sound quality is very good. The bass is not overwhelmed, mid and highs are very well balanced. If you are bass and highs lover they are not for you. They are not 100% studio monitors replacement but for occasionally work at night and tracking are perfect. I have to mention that my head is a size of melon so I'm always worry about the comfort. In this case is no issue.

Great headphones has good bass for what I listen to which is trans and classic Disco rock could have more bass

I got the K271 MKII yesterday. The bass is better then I thought it would be. People are saying the 271 have no bass I think the bass is very good. The mids and highs are great
