K-271 MKII : Workhorse headphones for all musicians

I have this headphones for few years now, and I am very satisfield with almost every aspect.

They are very comfortable (with velur pads, with leather pads little less), they are light (which is good if you wear them for a longer time) and they sound nice.

The sound is clean and well defined, but these headphones are quite light in the bass area (this is mostly why i gave them 4 stars for sound).

the thing I love the most (as a bass player) is the midrange: it is well balanced, very focused and very useful when recording in studio or playing live, it defines instruments and makes them compact and easy to hear even when the levels of noise are high.

The highs are clear and silky and they dont scream at you when you drive them hard.

Altough they are 55 ohm, they are quite hard to drive (most mixers or headphone amps dont have problems but they tend to be quite quiet if used with phones or some computers.

The quality is very good, mine survived a lot of drops and gigs and are still great with minimal signs of use.

These are still my best allround headphones (especially for recording) altough i use others too (Audio Technica ATH 50X, Beyerdynamic DT-150, Sennheiser HD-25)
