Akg K 271 Mk Ii Professional Studio Headphones

Perfect AKG studio headphones

If your needs are anything less than a professional recording studio, these are the headphones for you.

I've used it in the studio with the Canon 5D MK II and it works fine.

Basically since AKG released this same version as the “Mark II” , the way I see it, you are getting a very high end, professional studio grade headphone for a fraction of what they used to charge!! I also own the updated version of these K 240’s and I can assure you, for the money, these original 240 AKG’s are an unreal value !! You will not be disappointed! Very true audio reproduction and super solid and professional build quality. The ONLY reason I would not recommend these is for use as a headphone for a drummer. These are semi-open design, so you do get some ambient room noise bleed-through. Long story short, incredibly accurate audio that does not color the sound so what you hear is basically what the end result will be. Pick up a couple at these prices!

This is a superbly engineered product. Holds a pair of AKG professional headphones, which have a wide head band, perfectly. Clamps tightly to a tabletop. May purchase another one as well. Highly recommended.

At this price point, and after having owned 5 studio headphones over a few decades, AKG K240 MKII, K553 MKII, Sony MDR-7506, KOSS PRO 4AA & 4AAA, I have found THE Referred Personal Listening Tool.

These headphones are exactly what I was looking for when I purchased them almost 30 days ago. Basically I like everything about them: The sound is perfect for what I do in the studio, that is a sound and video editing very clear and transparent with a lot of detail. I think these are the best headphones I have ever owned. The AKG K812 headphones are very comfortable, well/solid built, and easy to adjust while on your head. I also like very much a stand that comes with these headphones. I purchase the headphones with the AKG HP4E 4-Channel Headphone Amplifier - all works great!

Comparing this to AKG K240 Studio monitoring headphones it is not as good. But it's very close. This was the only headphone I could find with a removable cable at this price point. Sound quality is very good but not excellent. This may be that I haven't broken the headphones in yet, but the sound stage is stiff and the treble with percussion is a bit muddled without good separation like on the AKG. These headphones have more emphasis on the low-end than the AKG 240's though. Comfort-wise these headphones fit better than AKG from the get-go -- it took awhile for the AKG's to loosen and stop squeezing my glasses to my head. However, I wish the pads were slightly bigger or oval shaped to fit the ears more comfortably. The padding is very soft. Another reviewer noted that the Polsen's 32ohm drivers cannot be driven by an iPad, but this is not the case. I had no issues when testing with normal volumes on an iPad Mini 2. The AKG K240's are 55 ohms in comparison and are decidedly quieter. A good purchase for good quality monitoring.

I recently received a pair of the JBL 3 MK II monitors for my birthday for my home studio. These monitors deliver great sound quality! They were set up in a matter of minutes and enabled me to hear the work that I have recorded without using headphones. The sound is crisp and clear and I highly recommend them.

Lasts for ever, and love Canon for coming up with a product that is compatible with both the EOS 1DX MK II and Mk III
