K-271 MKII : Weird to get used to but overall very good

I got this pair of headphones for my home studio to use when recording vocals. A common issue I was having using any other set of headphones was that every singer (including myself) was a bit out of pitch although while recording you think you are bang on. This is common when trapped frequencies in closed headphones alter the perception of tone.

A friend of mine recommended these headphones because they are designed exactly for this purpose. They free the range of frequencies that confuse singers and help stay on tune. At first I found them awkward because you get a very different sound than what you are used to, like middle range from 800 Hz to 1500 Hz missing or something, but after I used them for a few sessions I got used to them and now I can record vocals perfectly.

I like the switch feature on the headband, they turn off when you take them off. Only downside is that they are a bit low on volume but my mixing desk has a preamp so I don't have a problem.
