AKG K 271 MK II Headphones

I love these phones. Not only the sound, but the comfort is fantastic. I can "live" in the phones for much longer periods of time.

Great sound and very comfortable

I used these phones in the recording studio for tracking my vocals with premixed tracks. I have a pair of 240 Mk II's in my own home studio for mixing, and these are very similar, but the 240's are s... read more [+]emi-open and these are closed back, which is important for tracking vocals in front of a sensitive studio microphone. The sound is very clean and open, and they are very comfortable to wear for long studio sessions. Having only used them for one project, I'm no expert, but they seem like an excellent value. close [-]

Very well sounding,accurate

Sound almost exactly the same as my main (5 way, 3 way multi amped, 15 inch sub) monitoring sytem, on a Lexicon MX400 used as convertor (from sweetwater...), minus the room reverb, which is absolutely... read more [+] geat for reference. Also, the bass variations, the sampling reconstruction issues and the stereo imaging issues sound alike, apart from the obvious binoral matters, s I'm ver glad my monitoring agrees almost rucksichtloss with itself: changes my major monitor system (with high grade electronics components and no bass-reflex) reveal a *very* similar overall soundscape sthese tyes of hedphones by chance are extremely slim, so I feel very good to be able to cleanly hear what's there in a mix, instead of some interpretation. close [-]

Best headphones I"ve heard in 30 years

by Bruce Bartlett from Elkhart, IN USA

I received the AKG K 271 MK II headphones today. They are fantastic - best 'phones I've ever heard. They sound very detailed, natural, and well balanced from top to bottom. And they reveal any colorat... read more [+]ions in the source material quite well. The K 271 MK II headphones seem to combine the best traits of the AKG K 240 and Sony MDR 7506. The K 271 MK II has the smooth, non-harsh mids and highs of the K240, plus the deep, tight bass of the MDR 7506 -- but none of the exaggerated boom and sizzle of the 7506. I'm a happy customer!

Great for mixing

by Daniel from New York, NY

Music Background: Engineer, Producer
I purchased these headphones for mixing purposes and they give me exactly what I wanted. They're not that good just to walk around with an iPOD.

Sweetwater ALWAYS exceeds my expectation in sales, customer service and knowledge on the gear being sold to me. Sweetwater is my #1 choice to buy equipment from the first time I ordered. I find of great value the fact that I don't feel like one more customer, rather THE customer.
