K-271 MKII : Not what expected

11 years ago

I bought these headphones on recommendation from several sound production forums online, as great mixing headphones for when you can't mix on monitors. I'm fully aware that they are geared towards production and not listening to music, and are supposed to have a very flat EQ profile. However, I find them to have a complete lack of bass and anything I mix using them comes out with way to much bass when played on other headphones or regular listening speakers (even my M-audio monitors). I'm guessing it's a subjective preference thing and I know a lot of people love them, but my advice is to try and listen to a pair live before you buy them.
