All user reviews for the AKG K 271 MK II

I just got this headphone.
Overall there is nothing wrong but I find the low / medium low too withdrawn or conversely a high mid-range/tweeter too far.
If we compare what has been low in this headset to most headphones general public and most of the general public as sound, there is one which reach far enough that people really home. I do not know whether this choice of "perfect" (I have my doubts) flatness bandwidth is appropriate to the views of current monitoring systems are equipped with more general set of sub 10db louder than the satellites accompany (?)

If the monitoring are generally two lanes is because the public usually has 2-way speaker.
If you listen to a mix with headphones ipod or walkman type headphones koss PortaPro there are 3 times more bass ... Although there is less loyalty and dynamic, but 3 times more low anyway for the general public ... is it reasonable to mix on a headphone that lacks low or rather the cash so we put in 3 times more than normal for a mix?

I think a good monitoring system should take into account the listening public and to establish, in addition to its intrinsic qualities (bandwidth, dynamic, spatial ...) consistency with the monitoring systems of large public.

Apart from the philosophical questions that make me ask this headphone, it deserves a good rating because the rest is flawless.
Now I listened to some records that I love the heat and this headphone does not make it ... it bothers me a bit.
I hope this is also a history of running. I'm going to swing with a good CD Heavy alternated a good mix of electro and see what happens after.

I add this little comment one week after purchasing these headphones. The running is starting to bring results. Low more open and warm (soft) and acute, less scintillating ... the process of softening of the membrane appears to act. I completed with a mix for a corporate video (Voice-over, background music and small FX ..) It's ok! just 2 minor errors when I checked on my monitor and headphones wider audience (Koss): Boost 125Hz and exaggerated the cancellation of 200 Hz over exaggerated voice. Otherwise balance Voice / Music / Fx and general compression perfect! I will remain vigilant balance when the equalization of a mix with this headset but I think it may be very suitable for the volume and balance control of dynamics.

Hello,

I just bought this headset, but I am owner for over a year of AKG MK2 240. I love this headphone and it is only the closed version of 240.

For a closed, I also found light to wear (relatively) than my 240. The system is really nice arches and ear headphones around me perfectly, like the other. For more cons AC heating is clear.

The sound is consistent with what I expected. Law and cold. when I do not mix, I listen with the setting "classic" of itunes, it is a joy.

About AKG is one of the only manufacturer to offer headsets with detachable cable (which pete first on a headphone is the cable), a set of headset and a spare cable is still very strong by compared to the competition. Imagine your headphone at 300 euros with a cable that starts to sizzle, then you loose. Annoying right?

Do not expect too much use on an ipod on the other hand, the sound output is low, despite the 55 ohm displayed. In the same category, the Sony 009 is given as 34 ohms, but at first it makes no difference so far ...

Also note that from 2010, AKG headphones are no longer manufactured in Austria but in CHINA: (.

I went with the last of the store marked "made in autrichia above. So good, changing the line of manufacturing, personnel changes, always leaves ca glimpse of wiping plaster it all, if I were you I'll wait a bit before I start on the new ...

I put my mind in some time to complement, but hey, not too surprised to wait a priori, if not his best after a break.
