Extended response. Very neutral. Unlike a lot of pro-gear, the K 271s are also incredibly transparent. Excellent isolation. from Beachaudio.com At first I hesitated to give these 5 stars. There are headphones that sound better, including this one's older, more sophisticated (and open) brothers, the k601 and k701. But here's where this one wins: from Amazon.com I just tried them out today. It's like listening to your music in HI-DEF. I kept turning up the volume because it sounded so good... I think I almost went deaf haha. from Amazon.com I had originally purchased the AKG K171s but after trying them for a couple of hours I ended up sending them back to Amazon as they were not comfortable on my ears. I am glad I did make the switch, even thou the 271s are a good bit bigger then the 171s they don't weight that much more. from Amazon.com After reading other reviews of these AKG K271 Studio headphones, it sounded like it was time to pounce on a new set of headphones for my home studio, so I got them. I always imagined that the sound quality of my Denon AH-D950s (discontinued) were spoiling me, and the AKGs have merely verified that suspicion. from Amazon.com I ordered the AKG K271 Studio headphones because I had used earlier AKGs with enjoyment. I placed the order with Accessory Genie 2 days before Christmas. from Amazon.com After a little research exploring the options, I settled on this set from AKG for my monitoring and mixing needs. Noise is a concern for anyone working (or simply listening) in a noisey environment. from Amazon.com 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. from Amazon.com Having read AKG's reputation over the last few months of searching for good headphones, I excitedly opened the box and placed these on my head. I couldn't believe how comfortable they are. from Amazon.com My use for them is primarily for listening to recorded music at times when it is not appropriate to indulge with my main audiophile system.(the misses and the neighbors) Most of the sets out there are way to muddy or bassy sounding. Others are tinny like the old transistor radios of my youth. The AKG 721's are the clearest and most true sounding headphones I have ever tried. The sounds are rich, and clean. from Amazon.com
