The AKG K 271 MK II is a closed-back headphones for professional use with a price of approximately 150 bar. Supplied with a coiled cord with 5m length and a straight cable with 3m length is included, also has an adjustable adapter from 3.5mm to 6.5 mm. Leatherette and velvet ear pads can also be found in the box. A bag or similar to the headphones to transport reasonably be investigated, unfortunately to no avail. The first impression of the AKG K271 MK II is very good. The processing affects quality and robust, which one of headphones in this price range also can look forward to. The cabling of the headphone is sometimes a bit tricky, as neither is yet at the socket on the headset to find a mark on the plug. If you, however, once the correct direction of the plug noticed it does not detract from the whole. In addition, it is easy to replace a defective cable, which would not be the case with an integrated solution. On initial setup, the headphone has from the beginning a very pleasant feeling. Nothing expresses or squeezed and with the weight of only 240g (without cable), there can be no less than endure a couple of hours. Putting the headset briefly, and to contribute him in the neck has the comfort to an abrupt end. The wide plastic headband is an unpleasant pressure is unavoidable. However, a special feature is the automatic shutdown. Putting the headset in full operation from then instantly calm. Is a good piece so on the console or desk prevents automatic shutdown further unnecessarily music or the like comes out of the headphones. Especially in the scene and in the studio is this small but well thought out, very pleasant feature. The sound of these headphones is very good to me, but that each rated differently. Proved, however, that the K 271 MK II has a very linear frequency response and therefore is very suitable for the work in the recording studio. Finally, I can after about 4 weeks of use to say that I have decided for the AKG K 271 MK II dead right. I am very pleased with the performance, comfort and sound. So who is looking for a studio headphones with high quality and also high stability at a fair price, which is very well served by the K 271 MK II!
