K-271 MKII : Great cans for the price

10 years ago

If you want some quite linear closed headphones for not too much money, look no further.

I use them for recording (they isolate the direct amp sound very well) and as mixing reference together with studio monitors and another pair of headphones.

They are very comfortable and well built (I've had them for 7 years and I only had to change the pads).

They come with 2 cables (coiled and straight) which plug into the headphones via mini-xlr.

They have a switch that turns them off when they're not on your head.

The only reason to try something else in this price range is if you really want open headphones or if you like a lot of bass.
