The K-271 MKII Studio is a very solid part. It is supplied with two different ear pads. When used as DJ headphones, the smooth earpads are more appropriate, as it constantly does this not give up and take this no dirt. In the studio or living room the velvet ear pads are preferable because the comfort is better, and these things have on the surface not so much sweat. The headset is very neutral tuned to vernehmnen no overemphasis of the bass or treble, no resonances or screaming. As for the fine resolution, but he can not keep up with the (semi) open high-end headphones from AKG. My elderly K501 resolves the finest details here much better, they are simply swallowed up by the K-271 MKII Studio. These headphones are optimized but also to another application. Conclusion: For heavy-duty everyday and higher volumes is the 271MKII allow a perfect part, the different ear pads and cables different purposes. For pure rock / pop music in the living room a nice touch. The jack of all trades, he is like any other studio / DJ Headphones not because he swallowed the last bit of fine dynamic range in classical music and live music, as opposed to the AKG K501 to K701-resolution miracles. That's why I give only 4 stars, although I must say that it the 5 star headphones simply do not exist in this area of application!
