Reviews of AKG K271 Studio Closed Headphones
Feature: The light weight and comfort is a serious plus during long sessions.
Sound: If you are looking for a headphone mix uncolored by your room or other hot sources then the K271 is the ticket. In quiet monitoring situations the 271's sound very similar to the 240DF's. The 271's may have a slightly smoother bass response with more detailed high frequency output. The apparent output levels for the same input levels are almost identical between the two. When the background level is hot there is no contest. Another benefit from the extra isolation of the K271 is the ability to use lower monitoring levels while maintaining the desired clarity and punch. This helps protect one your most valuable resources, your hearing. This also leads to less fatigue during long sessions. I plan to use the K271's in all monitoring situations where I had previously used K240DF's. No doubt the K271 is worth a little more than the K240DF if you need the isolation from loud sources!
