Product Information

Full details

The AKG K271 MKII headphones are designed for studio professionals, musicians, and audio engineers seeking accurate sound reproduction and isolation. The key benefit is their closed-back design, which provides excellent noise isolation and minimizes sound bleed. However, remember that the closed-back design might feel less "open" than some other headphone types. These headphones feature a self-adjusting headband, replaceable ear pads, and both straight and coiled cables for versatile use in various environments.
