All user reviews for the AKG K 271 Studio

I use these headphones for 3 years.
I had bought to replace a Sennheiser HD570.
There's no comparison. This headset is great. I work as a component in this bounce with earphones so the sound is clean, flat, not flattering.
All premix made with this one is good. There is no need to start as with the Sennheiser.
Comfort level, it gives a bit warm to the ears but is well on the head.
It very well isolated from outside noise.
The system mute when we remove the headset is very convenient.
Supports Leatherette begin to crack slightly. on the other hand, cable poses no problem despite still having a lot ran over with the wheels of my chair ...

The quality / price is good, and if I loose, I probably would buy it for this model AKG or higher.

I use it for over 2 years. I Senn hd477 and hd215. I chose these headphones after almost 1 hour listening test in stores, with another model which I can not remember the name, was in the price range of 150 to + €. What I like: It is comfortable to wear long, I feel there is better comfort levels, I tired after a while, but good as I do not mix with, he is there mainly to adjust, I do not spend hours with. It is closed but "high" volume we hear a lot anyway. The cable is long enough. I had a bug with the quick connector nozzle 6.35, need to change the nozzle. The sound stops when it is removed, or if you do not put it correctly, I do not think it's terrible matter of taste. On the sound: The bass present but not intrusive, which descends over well (I have a lack of bass on my monitor, so I like to throw an ear on the headphones), the mediums, as was said bottom, are "veiled" or appear smoothed, perhaps a lack of transition to this level. Treble, I find them very beautiful, it feels good ventilation, it does not seem to me too now, just well placed. With my monitoring speakers (resolv 65a), I have a surplus of acute juggled and I like them both for me to notice. Spatialization on, everything seems clear, it intends to place each instrument (Play Trilok Gurtu is a foot!). I like to manage with reverb, it clearly audible. I find it a nice depth. And what is damn good is that we happened to hear through headphones pretty much what we will hear speakers on (it's on the forum eh biensur, my resolv.conf are so light ....). Value for money is not given but it's worth, in any case, without exception, if you want the good stuff should spit. I had € 180 buy in a store, you can probably find it cheaper on the internet, but I really wanted to listen before you buy .... I would do this choice, although there ais a model so tried! I do not give a rating, because I do not feel to do so, it is best to read my opinion.

I discovered him a nice low medium that allows me to make mix much more than just my speakers. I use it more for mixing and mastering, I know it is best to do, but my ears found it better than the Resolv who took to the sacred stroke old ...

I've been using it for over two years. I also have Sennheiser HD477 and HD215. I chose these headphones after listening to them one hour at the store. Pros: comfortable (also during long runs), even though I think there are more comfortable ones. It's a closed model but the sound comes through pretty loud. The cable is quite long. I had a problem with the 1/4" connector very quickly and I had to replace it. Sound: present lows but not overemphasized. The mids are a bit "masked," perhaps it lacks transients in this frequency range. The high-frequency response is beautiful, with a lot of air. The highs are not too present, just well balanced. I get more highs from my monitor speakers (Resolv 65A). The stereo imaging is very clear: you can clearly hear where all instruments are placed. Very good to manage a reverb effect. Very nice sound deepness. The main advantage of these headphones is that you can hear almost the same as what you hear with speakers. The price is rather high, but the product is worth it. Generally, if you want high-quality gear, you must also pay a higher price. I would buy them again, even though there are many other valuable products on the market!

[edit 04/19/2010]
The low-mids are nice and allow me to make better mixes than my speakers. I use them more and more for mixing and "mastering." It's not the best solution but it's better than with my Resolv monitors...
