Professional Studio Headphones From AKG!
The AKG K271 MKII is a closed-back studio headphone with over-ear pads. It's versatile and well-suited for studio work and live production.
Studio headphones demand a neutral sound. Only then can you judge a recording's quality correctly in the studio. The AKG K271 MKII delivers highly resolving, balanced sound. The spatial imaging and depth layering are very detailed, and even the finest sonic details are reproduced without coloration.
In the studio, closed headphones are usually used for vocal and instrument recordings. They prevent sound from the headphones bleeding into the microphone. That's why it's crucial that the headphones provide optimal external shielding. The AKG K271 MKII ensures maximum shielding and excellent external isolation for live productions. Because sound pressure can't escape, closed headphones also deliver tighter bass response.
The AKG K271 MKII fully encloses the ear. By spreading pressure over a larger area, the headphones remain comfortable to wear. At the same time, the ear cups help keep the headphones from shifting.
There is a switch in the headband that mutes the audio automatically when you take the headphones off. Put them back on and the signal resumes instantly.

because I already owned an AKG about 25 years ago and it was already very very good.
And have now already had some studio headphones but from the wearing comfort
and the sound I come back to the AKG they are simply the best.
PS: The AKG I bought 25 years ago had ca.17 years his services done.

The closed system is recommended for live use or in the studio when recording to avoid crosstalk through playback signals to the microphone. I use many headphones in the studio, the AKG K 271 does not need to hide even from higher priced listeners. A good offer at Kirstein.

I bought these headphones as a replacement for my previous pair, also from AKG. I bought my previous headphones in 1985 for 129 DM. It's still in working order, still sounds good and doesn't look very worn out. I think AKG outdid themselves with this product back then.
