K-271 MKII : Pure awesomeness.

I found these to be better than I expected, really. I already owned AKG K712 pro before, which sound better than these of course, but these are closed back so I can use them in everyday life. They work very well as monitor headphones for playing instruments. Great for a drummer myself. I can also use them for mixing, but it's not the best option out there. K712pro sound even more natural and wider, plus they got extra bass, which is cool. Some say that AKGs lack of bass, but this is not the case with K271 mkII, for me. It/s just right, it' tight and it's there.

They are insanely light, almost feel cheap. You get an extra coiled cable in the package, and a pair of velvet cushions. The fake leather wears off after years of use, so that's really a useful bonus.

I/d like to say this, throw KRK's KSN8400 in the corner if you have them, or give them to someone you don't like :) Although KRKs are well made and more comfortable than these, the sound is distorted and very unnatural. I'd recommend these to everyone.
