Well a few years ago I was looking at the akg k272 but did not buy it. Now it is not made any mnore and I am trying to find more about them and if there sis something similar.
Yes that would be them. For some reason i heard they were discontinued. Checked akg website and they are listed as well as the k271 mk2. Any opinions on both of these phones. I am looking for closed cans.
I don't understand it, either. I've noticed the same thing. The only thing I can think of is that, instead of actually engineering two separate lines, AKG just "pretty-ized" some of their headphones and aimed these at the consumer market, hoping nobody would ever figure out that identical (if not quite as attractive) products were available in the pro division for much less coin.
K271MKII comes with 2 cables (1 straight and 1 coiled) and 2 sets of earpads (1 set of leatherette and 1 set ot velvet). There is no sonic difference between K271MKII and K272 HD.
I've seen it go as low as $135 there. I've always been attracted to that headphone for some reason. Could be just the looks (I think it's gorgeous). I'm looking forward to your impressions.
of all the headphones i've owned and currently own, if i had to pick only one to live with, my K271mkII would be the one. do yourselves a favor and roll some Beyer pads in place of the stock velours. i'm currently using a pair of black dyed pads from Larry at Headphile - they look identical to the DT880 pads but black. i have a pair of DT770 pads on backorder to compare as well. the opening of the pads are larger than the stock velours and soundstage gets near K702. they have a more delicate and forgiving sound than the K702 and sacrifice very little.
