Love 'em!

 

I originally purchased some very highly thought of semi-open, over ear headphones...I really wanted to like them based upon how folks raved about them. I just couldn't get over the fact that the ambient noise was still there & very obvious. That's not...

Consumer review by:

Very disappointing

 

I've owned a pair of the original K271 headphones for at least 6 years now. The leather on the earphone covers is cracked, but otherwise they are in perfect condition - they still work perfectly, are functionally sound, and most importantly sound...

Consumer review by:

Quality over name

 

These overly efficient face a problem: they aren't taking over the market such as Beats by Dre. These headphones deliver the most ACCURATE sound I've heard in a pair of personal headphones. Where people will put these headphones down is the bass level....

Initial impressions

 

If you scour these reviews you will see most people saying that these headphones need a burn in period to really shine, I don't doubt this is true but holy crap do I enjoy the initial sound as well. I've been through a variety of headphones, a few...

Nice Sound after burn in

Consumer review by:

A month in, they still sound terrible.

 

I'll admit it; I was lured in by the aesthetic of these headphones. However, once you put them on things go downhill. The high end is exaggerated, the bass is wimpy, and mids are harsh and unnatural. As a long-time audio enthusiast, these might be the...

Product Specifications

The K 271 Studio is a complete model that combines the benefits of AKG's circumaural design for extreme comfort and a closed-back design for maximum isolation from ambient noise. Thanks to its XXL transducers, the K 271 Studio sounds clean, smooth and very rich. The K 271 Studio is the perfect choice for any application where sonic bleed could cause problems such as broadcast work. Another important feature of the K 271 Studio is the addition of a switch in the headband that mutes the audio just as soon as the headphones are taken off.
