Terrific price-to-quality ratio.......2007-12-19
These headphones are terrific. The audio reproduction seems very well balanced, and while the closed design does attenuate external sounds, they are not boomy unlike most typical closed-design phones. They are quite comfortable and light. They do not fold, so they are not ideal for traveling, but the low impedance will allow them to reproduce any audio surprisingly well from even the wimpiest of MP3 player. With an external headphone amp, they can put out very clean concert level audio with very little distortion. Careful about hearing loss, these fantastic cans sure are capable of accelerating it. Over all, they are real bargain for the quality, and they come with as two year USA waranty. Highly recommended!
Excellent sealed (closed) cans for noisy environs!.......2007-08-24
Much lighter and better built than the 7506s it replaced, the 271S is a tremendous set of headphones. Three weeks into using them 8 hours a day, the sound is brilliant, clear, transparent, with great impact -- and only gets better when paired with a good headphone amp. Mine are fed by a Firestone Audio Cute BEYOND headphone amp, and the results are quite remarkable.
These cans have a seductive midrange, crystal-clear highs, and a well-tempered, articulate bass. Overall the sound is transparent, lively, very well detailed, yet smooth. The better the source, the better the recording, the better these will do. When you listen to reference-caliber recordings, your eyes will bug out. They're good. Really good. Incredible on voices. The music's great, of course -- incredible, even -- but the voices.. oh man. Violin and cello lovers will also appreciate the midrange these cans have.
Lack of comfort is what drove me away from my previous cans, and the 271 delivers comfort in spades. Lightweight, well-built, comfortable enough to be worn all day long. So comfortable, in fact, I forget I am wearing them.
If you're a music lover trapped in a noisy open office or cubicle farm, these are what the good doctor ordered. They muffle the outside world, and the outside world won't hear what you're listening to.
Nice headphones for the price.......2007-03-11
I tested many closed-back headphone brands in my search for a replacement for my Sony MDR-V6 and landed on the AKGs. While the AKGs lack the liveliness of the V6s, I feel they are more "accurate". My spouse prefers the V6s, however. The AKGs are comfortable, even for a person with a touch larger head like myself. They are certainly larger than the V6s and look a bit geeky, but in the confines of ones own home, I guess who cares. The AKGs are a great match for my Nano. There appears to be just enough power available in the Nano to drive the AKGs to decent volumes. They won't make your ears bleed, however, for that one may want to invest in an external amp. Don't get me wrong, the AKGs do not require an amp for use with a portable device. Also, the AKGs do not drain the Nano like my Sony V-600s did. More on par with the Sony MDR-V6s I was replacing. Overall, the AKGs are a nice set of headphones.
Acurate Audio Monitor Quality.......2006-09-28
If you read my previous review of the Bose Triport Headphones where I said these were the greatest. . . I take it back. I won't say I lied, but I will say I am now better educated. The AKG K271 headphones are only slightly more expensive, but they are in another world of quality. One of the two headphones is priced wrong.
Let me get my annoyances with the K271 out of the way. One of the features is an on / off switch that is built in to headband of the `phones. The idea is that if you are in a recording session and these headphones are not in use, no sound will come out from the speakers. These days my hairstyle resembles a classic Friar Tuck with a generous portion of solar panel on top. Without an excess of bushy hair, I've got to push the headphones down to get them to play. The first time I put them on I thought I had a defective set as I was not hearing any sound. Lesson learned very quickly: place the headphones snugly on your head! Disappointment 2 is there is no adjustment for the headband size.
Once they were properly in place, the sound is sweet. The midrange is really opened up, the highs are clean and the bass is there without being overpowering. By way of contrast, the Bose highs are piercing, the bass overrides the midrange and the midrange, if there is no bass to overpower it, is mediocre. In short, there is no comparison in sound quality between the two sets of headphones. AKG advertises a dynamic range of 16 Hz - 28,000 kHz. While the extremes are considered beyond the range of normal hearing, I do believe that by being able to reproduce harmonics in the ranges outside of normal hearing, the K271 comes as close as you can to reproducing a truly live sound.
There is also a world of difference in construction. These are designed with daily use, and for long periods of time, in mind. The metal portion of the headband is rock solid but still light weight, the padding for your ears is comfortable, the cord is heavy duty and user replaceable. Compare this to the narrow headband of the Bose, thin hard wired cord and the slider that is now held together by a cable tie.
If you are looking for a set of headphones for indoor critical listening, these are the ones. Save the Triports for hooking up to your portable player. They are still a good set of headphones, but not in the same league as the AKG K271.
