Nice Solid Headphones

AKG K271 MKII Professional Studio Headphones

Sep 4, 2013

Reviewed by Nick the Recording Guy on B&H Photo Video

The K271 MKII are a nice set of headphones, but they are not the successor to the K270 that I thought they would be. Single speaker in each can, as opposed to the K270. They are made in China, but the build quality seems good. I use these for recording at home, giving them to musicians to track vocals. So far 'clients are happy'

Well, this is a upgrade from K271. This time, the audio cut works properly when you take out from your head. The sound response is the same as the old model... a very nice quality for recording vocals without to leak sound to the mic.

Noise canceling!!

Mine are still made in Austria, too bad the new ones are made in China. But nonetheless... These are excellent tracking headphones. Not very useful for casual listening, though they sound great, but not nearly as comfortable for any lengthy listening like an open back can would be.

Great sound

These headphones have a beautiful middle range and I'm sure after some breaking in the low and high would have been great. Unfortunately, these headphones have a self-adjusting strap that makes them uncomfortable after just a few minutes. Perhaps I have a sensitive head, but these had to go back.

I haven't owned these long but can report I like them. They are light enough to wear all day and noise cancellation is great (esp if you work in a noisy office). Sound quality is true and the fit is comfortable. You can't ask or much more than that. Only four stars because sometimes they cut out due to the automatic noise kill when you are not wearing them. A quick tap and they're going again.

Amazing Sound!

I guess my expectations were pretty high when I decided to buy these. They're good headphones with good quality sound. They're also quite comfortable. They didn't really blow me out of the water though in terms of sound quality. Still, they're much better than the Sony headphones I was using.

Very cheaply made

This are very cheaply made. I sent these back, paid a little more and purchased the Audio-Technica ATH-M70X headphones. What a world of difference in quality and sound!

These headphones feel great to wear, look good, come with handy accessories like adapters and different cords and sound great. I use them for my electronic drum kit and they do great. Go for it bro.

The only reason I bought these was to listen to my music and it was well worth it. The sound quality is excellent and they are super comfortable. I'll never go back to using ear buds.

Sounds Great, but not very loud

Reviewed by Heywood Jablome on B&H Photo Video

These are some great sounding Headphones. They are very natural and have nice smooth silky high end. The low end is present, but not over exagerated. The headphones fit on my head well, and don't squeeze. so i don't have a headache after and hour of use. They only problem is they don't get very loud. they require an amp to use in a live sound situation. They have leather earpads which are nice and even include a spare set of earpads

Noisy Environment?

Great if you need to cut down on noise in your work environment. If not, I'd choose headphones with smaller that don't cover your ears.

Flat clear response and comfy!

This is a fantastic option for mixing sound for videos nd music if you cant afford great nearfield monitors and great acoustics in your studio. Its flat response is really impressive.
