AKG K271 Closed Back Monitor Headphones MKII

Comfort - 10 out of ten, working on a radio station I wear these headphones up to 8 hours a day, I dont event notice these.

Sound Quality, I have seen negative reviews about stereo fielding and bass response, It isnt amazing, but lets not forget theres are mid-range, the fielding is fantastic on the tracks I tested including an orchestral arrangement and drum solo. Bass response, it is there, if the song has bass! I checked this with both the prodigy and chase and status, and believe me if the bass is meant to be heard, you hear it! The audio output is crystal clear, speech is brilliant, drums play crystal clear. I have a recording of a led zep track, these cans are so clear you can hear a musician changing the page of their song book......beats by dre cant produce that sound!

Style - you will look like an space man but for the output, its worth it, if you want to look good in headphones, beats by dre - if you care about quality first and foremost...AKG

Extras - mini xlr connection so handy if like me you step on the cable a lot you wont pull it out, Screw jack converter - not noisy and secure. Auto-muting, a cool extra and so useful if you are recording or live on air and take your cans off you wont ruin anything. Choice of two cables, coiled or straight....all ways nice, choice of pads - felt or leatherette again nice to have the choice, i fin leatherette comfier. Self adjusting headband increases comfort to a high level.

I really recommend these headphones great all round quality for an unbeatable price!

Very good stereo headphones, very clean uncoloured sound, nice treble mid and bass response. Includes 2 seperate leads 1 straight mini-jack lead and 1 coiled mini-jack lead plus a 1/4 " screw-on adaptor plug. Also includes a spare set of earpads. Well constucted with a nice feature so when you remove the headphones the sound cuts off. Also very low bleed level from the headphones so no unwanted sound when recording vocals etc. Overall a great pair of quality headphones.

A great set of closed back headphones! Friendly and efficient service from the staff at Andertons as per usual.

Extremly happy with my purchase and speed of delivery. Amazing sound quality from the headphones, esp with the price. Helped my music production 100% thankyou Andertons

These headphones are really nice. Great sound quality, very comfortable to wear and they even auto-mute when you take them off your head. Nice !!

Absolutely no hesitation in saying the service was top class received item quicker than anticipated and the headphones are amazing!! Thanks!!

Really good headphones I will use them for monitoring my mix and when needed I will plug them into my amp for quiet practise, either way these are great headphones. They could cancel noise a bit more but they are very good for the price.

I am really pleased with the sound quality and the build quality of these ear phones. There is no sound leakage at all (the wife even verifies that!!) The fact that they have a inter changeable cable is also very useful for different situations. I also like the fact that the cable is only attached to one side of the ear phones. This makes guitar practice easier as there is less cable to get in the way and catch on things.

The sound from these phones is also of extremely high quality, from bass and treble levels. They are very comfortable to wear for long periods of time and dont get too hot either. With a spare cable, spare ear foam pads and a jack all included along with excellent sound quality, the AKG closed back phones are excellent value for money. Would highly recommend.

I’m using the AKG K271S headphones at the mixing desk at times when monitors can not be used.

They are comfortable to wear and the sound quality is satisfactory.

I bought these headphones for use with my Tascam 2488-neo and they are great. After months of trying to find good quality, confortable headphones that sound great I have now at last found them.

An excellent pair of headphones, well balanced frequency range, clear sound response.

Well recommended for mixing and home production use.

I ordered these particular headphones because the write up said that they were a studio standard due to the feature whereby the sound switches off when you're not wearing them

This isn't something I thought I particularly wanted but it has proved quite useful - somebody wants to say something to you while you've got your headphones on. You take them off and have a much more pleasant conversation without the sound buzzing away in the background.

Quality is good of course from the name and the price and a nice feature is that the headphones come with a mini jack as standard but with a 'screw on' converter to professional standard 1/4"

These headphones are great. I was a bit dubious at first, as they were given away free with the piano I bought but the sound quality is fantastic from my new Roalnd D-990. Although they are quite bulky, they are very light and comfortable to wear and do a great job of blocking out the sound from the TV which is in the same room!

excellent headphones,im using them to monitor guitar through my pc and ive had no complaints.they r very comfortable aswell having used them for some long sessions late at night.i have heard the bass response is a bit low on these headphones but i havent noticed any faults to be honest,i have also used them to monitor recordings and have found them excellent.the only reason they dont get a five is i cant compare them to higher end phones.
