All user reviews for the AKG K 271 Studio

I use this headset for 8 months and I am very satisfied with: comfortable, well-sealed and remarkable sound reproduction. One comes to listen to old albums with headphones so we are rediscovering the little things that had remained unheard before.

Only one problem: two weeks ago, by keeping the ears, one of the two arches was chewed, which becomes very uncomfortable because the hoop is literally biting the head. We can not say I was making heavy use, I do not put that to play / work PC. No acrobatics ... In the e-brochure available at AKG, it mentions his great strength, which can be used with one ear, so DJ and that its resistance to the harshest treatment during transport and scene ....

"Rugged construction, a non-twisting headband, and Powerful sound
allow you to use your headphones on a single ear or only wear 'em in
Any Other Way You May prefer. AKG Professional Studio headphones are
ideal for DJ and live sound use Because They Are Enough to withstand sustained
the roughest kind of handling or transport DURING on stage. "

As there are two years warranty "manufacturing defects" I come to the place where I bought it and they said that this kind of 'break' would perhaps not be guaranteed by the manufacturer. They would do their best.

Wait and see. My rating reflects the quality of the product and not the service qu'AKG offer.

I have not new

- How long have you use it?

I use it since early February, buy a sound card, a solution for computer music

- What is so special that you like most and least?
I love the cut-off system when you remove the headphones, ideal for the sound, you can put the headphone next to the microphone without fear of a repisse.

it is very comfortable, the last time I worked 3 hours and honestly I did not feel relief by removing it.

what I like least is when I put it around his neck, he shakes a little, if at all it's just gonna listen to someone, but otherwise it is better to place it on the table.

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
I have to say no, I worked with the HD-200, but it has nothing to do (and because they are not designed for the same application.)
mo so it's first real studio headphones.

- How would you rate the quality / price?
for now, I have no idea. I am satisfied with what he gives me (however) and I buy discount so yes, it's a good value for money ..
because I can not compare I would say that in absolute terms, it has a great sound. balanced and clean.

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
if it is to have a second headphone, I prefer to stay elsewhere (eg HD25) for a new point of view, but if it's because I have more, then yes I shall live because it is cheaper than the HD25 and he largely convinced!

I use it for 1 month.
the sound is neutral equilibrated trs I have no bad record in the headphones and listen on my monitors, the sound rsultant does not surprise me at all, that's all I asked APRS test have two other models:

1 - Sony MDR7506 (I possde 7 years!): Its too aggressive in the mids, ears explode after 10 minutes ... pretty obvious to a power guitar: I had the headphone printing to limit the noise while the silent monitor its hollow! taken about the voice, as if c'tait draft, not possible to reach something right ... I used my monitors during these seven years ...
2 - beyer 770 pro: used in comparison with the purchase, so little. but I found this grves Submitted beyer too, suddenly the sound seemed quite confused ... I have long hsit during my 1 / 2 hour test in-store REFERENCE to the sony ... but I took the akg because grve not puffed ... but not the rest c'tait subtle, I think the beyer silent as a good choice ...

I continue with this glance akg, I finally enjoy the headphones work for a long time and I am still surprised enjoyable when rsultat j'coute of monitors, ie almost no dsquilibre .. . quality over price, I do not care, I wanted a good headphone ... with a limit price that suited me ...

For the record I made the same comparison test by buying a walkman headset, so I compar ... destination audiophile akg, sennheiser, koss ... and I had taken for his koss bump in grves, so the heat ... the silent akg neutral, not adapted MUCH I find a audiophile, but ... finally equilibrated sennheiser was too pronounced in the mediums, so aggressive ... I was afraid to take me a new Sony Walkman to cost me .... to the point of not even cost a then home to my sennheiser stud ... peuttre wrong. ..
akg but this fills me ... well try headphones before you buy ... I took the sony era (7 years ago ... when same ...) because of its reputable ... wrong to my ears ... even if other please cel ...

Aquis for a week ...
after long hesitation is a DT 770, I went to listen to nature and discovery on the advice of an afien whom I thank along the way, it seemed more audiophile than anything else, a beautiful sound but "bloated" is not a criticism, I was looking for a headphone law ...
So I go back to 271 ...
frankly there are still some days I was disappointed ...
but now accustomed ear, it's really the headphone that I needed!
+ It is very confusing right ... at first, but then wonderful
+ Formidable precision, surgical, in contrast to many of its competitors it does not shine at the top ... and do not pummeled the bottom ... (You have to redo dens)
+ Comfortable, does not crush the ears, though in a few hours you feel a little trapped ... but the headphone is good by nature ...
+'s Not aggressive, very nice for long hours
+ Automatic disconnection
6.35 + adapter screw

- Break the system parrait me a little fragile, we'll see over time that said at this price there is gaffe ...

I tried a lot of sennheiser in this price range, reference the hd 25, and 770 of beyer ...
good value for money (€ 129 in promo)

This is the headphone I was looking for, it's really studio oriented, do not trust his first impression, it's true that at first it surprises so it's flat, but this is his main interest.
it all depends on what you search, it will not suit everyone, in terms of my config there is a place
I referrer this choice without any problems, he let me go by, there will certainly be a next generation

- Time:
I have a week ago, I used about 3 hours a day.

- Use:
In fact I bought an electronic drum kit (Roland TD-12 to € 3500) and I of computer music with a sound card still rotten (which has built my laptop, but I plan to re-level computer science). And I wanted a good monitoring headphones, without climbing beyond the € 150.

- Quality:
In the words of another person, ca shocking as it is flat. And it is on its strength. Restitution is incredibly accurate, it's really powerful. The default is that it not listen hard: already connected to a player, the volume is decreased considerably, and it saturates rather quickly I think. Or I am deaf?

- Comparison:
To be quite honest, I do not have much comparative jn'ai even more engaged other headphones. Level quality / price so I can hardly speak, especially since it's my first headphone (a part of the stuff a portable 30 euros).

So it is especially critical that I will:

- Love / Love it:
The headset is turned off automatically when removed. It is a system developed not always because sometimes you put the headphone and it will not get under way. Of course impossible to know where the sensor is therefore obliged to remove it and give it a little more violently so that it works. I'm afraid that one day burst up, especially since I read in the notice that sometimes the arches break ...

In the words of another person, the headphone is really big, is it for a bit when you want to wear around the neck, except for a short time to listen. Otherwise I puts almost all the time (and it turns off and on again not necessarily always). As against the ears, very low pressure is great.

- Experience:
We will see a long ... I know that this opinion will not help some but hey at least I said what I thought ... It can be useful for others, you never know!

- How long have you use it?
1 month now and two recording projects ...

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
trs rponse frquentielle a good, reliable and trs not flattering, the dtails are heard, making it a good headphone trs for recording. Only problem, the dynamics are standard on this headphone, if not cost addition, our mixes are flat ... He asks (of course) at least one rcoute with something else, and that's normal ...
As for the small cross that cuts the headphone when not in port I do not complain, convenient to avoid the repisse in sound recording, and also in the cabin to avoid damaging the when not in port ...

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
I have a Sennheiser HD212 pro headphones trs good not too expensive (3x less than the 271) but far too flattering, but the Sony are a quality price report any naz ...

- How do you report qualitprix?
I got a good price on it so trs was going, but even for 150euros I would not regret my purchase, away from the ...

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
Why not, unless I find a headset with a dynamic closer to Ralite ...

Excellent studio headphones, not flattering, good dynamics, excellent with a rare precision. I prefer the HD25 that I find much less comfortable.

- How long have you use it?
few months
- What is so special that you like most and least?
most, the sound
least, not yet found. It would have been a little more closed, it would have been nice but it is already well on that side
- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
yes including the HD25
- How would you rate the quality / price?
very good (it depends where you buy ... the Germans are very good at that ...)
- With experience, you do again this choice?
Yes, definitely

- How long have you use it?

1 month, I use 5 daily 6 am because I work trstt the morning, I use it to compose orchestral music

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?

it is absolutely perfect for composing: impossible not to hear a false note, not to discern two instruments playing two notes that align poorly to the same time

also refers to the length and the end of each reverb with impressive precision

I would add that even if ncessaire to make small adjustments when the speakers on (which is normal) there was never a nasty surprise: a mix that sounds in the headphones , will ring in the chambers, which is trs trs far from being the case with a lot of headphones, even the most expensive, it really changed my life, and for the composition and for the mix!

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

yes, but mostly it by my boss with a Sennheiser HD 545 for years, as c'tait convinced that a good headphone because I'd pay the price the era, and because of the prestige of the brand .. c'tait good headphone trs, trs comfortable, more comfortable than the lgrement akg, good sound trs, trs enjoyable, much more flattering than the akg (which para t flat at beginners), but discovering what my horror when I mix in pregnant j'tais dsespr every time, and I m'tais is ide c'tait that always the case with headphones

same with precision: with akg, I have a bunch of little amliorer dtails in my arrangements rcoutant my models: reverbs too long, too short, not pretty notes .. . etc ...

so it's a headphone to work, to make up for (pre) mix

on the other hand, I possde also a Sennheiser HD 200, and the one is very well to catch, compltement closed properly, cheap (the akg is not closed)

I prcise I know neither Sony nor beyer

- How do you report qualitprix?

no problem with the price I pay 119 euros in France

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...

absolutely!

if one looks for a headset to make up for long hours, and then never have a bad surprise with HP, this headphone is a wonder, I am become indispensable IMMEDIATE

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.
EDIT 19/04/2010
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 ...
