Review: Great headphones for the price! - Great quality headphones. I'm no audio engineer but the EQ sounds flatter than anything I've listened to before (this is good for use with mixing). Personally, I found these really comfortable, the headband consistently adjusts well for a comfortable fit (however, there are some reviews that say otherwise - I have longer hair so perhaps that helps pad it out a bit). I will note that in prolonged use, my ears do get quite warm - though I think that would be the same with most over-ear headphones (I had the same problems in prolonged used with my Sennheiser HD 201). The semi-openness makes a huge difference to closed-back style (again, comparing to my HD 201) - harshly panned sounds sound like they are coming from the extremes of the side of your head - and by nature the sound sounds more 'open', less collecting inside the middle of your head. Obviously of note, if you work in a somewhat noisy environment these are probably not the headphones to go for, you can still hear a somewhat decent amount from your surroundings, but I'd imagine a lot less than full-open back style headphones. The build quality feels sturdy enough, I have dropped them a few times and have never had to be concerned about them having any perceivable damage. If I remember correctly, it ships with two ear cups - One made of spongy material and the other made of leathery material. I've only tried the leathery one (I figured my ears would get to hot in the spongy ones) and have found them very comfortable. The headphones also come with two cables with Mini(?)-XLR connectors on one end and a 3.5mm jack on the other. One is a long straight cable, the other a wound cable. I use both cables. When I'm on my laptop I use the wound cable, and at my PC I use the straight cable (as it needs to be routed to the other side of my desk). I haven't particularly tested it, but I don't think the way you put the headphones on matters (The cups and headband seems to be uni-directional) so if you're bothered about having the cable on your left, I shouldn't imagine you'd suffer any discomfort from rotating the headphones around - obviously remember to swap the channels on your hardware though. For the price - I'm really impressed, and more than satisfied. I've owned these for 8 months and not had a single problem or issue. Would recommend.
Review: Great cans, comfy for me but.... - solid and nicely isolated due to their closed back nature, these headphones are ideal for my uses, they are solely used as my drumming headphones, so I can jam along to my songs without having to play my music too loudly, and stopping me going deaf from my drum kit too. Although when drumming I do not really get the whole benefit of the AKG sound quality, I have tried them running off my PC with a little dot mk 2 tube amp, and have to say the quality is nearly as good as my AKG K702s I use for playing games, and listening to music on primarily (although due to the closed nature of the k271s I am reviewing here, the sound stage is more compressed. For prolonged use these headphones are comfy, and will enclose my ears instead of partially trapping them, even with my glasses on. I consider my ears relatively average size, so would like to think this would be the case for most people, but it's worth trying them if possible. They are very secure in my head, I wouldn't say tight, but hold enough that I can play like a madman on my drums and headbang along without them falling off - which would lead me to think that if they do sit over part of your ear they would get uncomfortable with long periods of wearing. The cans come with a nice long cable, with your 3.5 audio jack as standard for mp3 players and phones, and a screw in larger phono adaptor for plugging into most other things, including some guitar amps, or my other electric drums =). In my opinion a very good set of cans for the price, and I would definitely recommend to drummers or other musicians due to their isolation, and nice long, sturdy cable and option of phono or standard 3.5 jack. A high recommendation from me.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would these be suitable for listening to music on PC whilst working/studying?**
A: Yes and please don't listen to the other guy, your PC and phone will be able to power this headset just fine

**Q: Are these perfect with a Phillips cd Walkman?**
A: As general purpose HPs the K240s are a terrible choice, they are designed for studio mixing, if you want a pair to use with your portable CD player, there are lots of much better sounding HPs to chose from, many much cheaper than the K240s.

**Q: Hi, are these compatible with a yamaha digital piano? would the sound have any good quality if connected to a digital yamaha piano? cheers.**
A: Hi, I have the akg k240 mkII. Its sound is flat. It is compatible with the outputs of your piano. It has a 3.5mm mini-plug jack and comes with a 6.35mm adapter (for your piano).

**Q: How do these sound when used with a phone, given there high impedance? Is the volume ok does the sound suffer.**
A: Volume fine with tablet (haven't tried phone) - the level of isolation and close fit probably means not too much level actually needed - I have used them to monitor a keyboard mix next to a very loud drummer with no problem.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ They are very good value
*by H***E on 6 May 2024*

I ordered these to replace my previous set which had broken. I paid about £125 for my originals; these were a steal at £85 so I was a little tense. They arrived when stated, well packaged, brand new, very pleased. (I have of course now seen them for £78!) . These are for use in my home studio. They are "closed back" to prevent the track you are listening to in them from being too easily picked up by the mic' when recording a second track. (Also know as "bleed" if you are new to recording here, searching for items AND guidance) . (If you are using headphones for editing/mixing, as opposed to overdubbing/recording, then you should also get a set of "open back" headphones, which allow the sound to escape through grilles in the ear pieces, giving a more natural sound for mixing. Basically; get a set of each, and use them as I describe. I have seen reviews on line by some people criticimg the "lack of punchy bass". These people do not understand the recording process; they are probably just LISTENING to music on band camp or you tube or whatever. You can use toy headphones or ear buds for that! These K271 are a professional tool. The whole point of these is NOT to have a too punchy "anything"! Not TO exagerate the bass, Mid, or treble.....so that your judgements when EQing are based on a sound that is UNBIASED as much as possible. Hope that helps folks. OH! And they have a grooooovy built in "switch". If you take the headphones off when recording, they automatically cut out the sound! Which means that if you put them down on the desk or whatever the sound will NOT accidentally be heard by the mic...because it has been stopped. Far out! ( man!) Hope that info is good for somebody, and good luck in all you do. Steve.
