I don't know what to say. I've spent hours reading this guys back story, hitting as many threads as I can out of sear fascination. Patrick, thanks for being so entertaining! Seriously though man, wow. I'm dumbfounded. That being said, I don't believe in cables. So I find all of this, and...

Yeap, bass head here. That's why I got my Ultrasone hfi-550's. Wonderfully punchy, in the best way posible. Awesome can for the price, best I've heard for the price. Can't praise them enough...

I was afraid of that. Oh well..

The K271s are extremely clear. Chances are its ether you source or other equipment. With a good set of cans, you'll hear problems further up the chain. :P At least that is my case. Try listening to them flat, no eq, dirrect from source. You're ears and brain will need a little "burn in" time...

Hi all. I saw the new AKG K 701 and was considering picking up a pair. I currently have been using the K271s for about 2 years and really enjoy them. My question is, I work in an office environment so I need a set that does not leak a lot of sound when on. Like for example My Grados would...

http://www.dansdata.com/k271.htm A pretty nice review of them BTW. Also, to add, while I am a fan of IEM (In Ear Monitors), I wouldn't recomend them for long extended sessions. They make your ear canals a little sore after a couple of hours.

My Vote is AKG K271 Studio I bought my AKG K271 Studio cans specifically for work. Very good isolation, extremely comfortable, surprisingly light weight, not fatiguing, and right at $200 with shipping. Also they mute when you take them off, which is very nice in an office environment when...

I just picked up some Shure E2 yesterday. They were $70 at Guitar Center here in Dallas. I think they are the E2 not E2c (Last years model? No mention of E2c anywhere on the package). I assume the same product. I also agree with previous posters, they have ample bass, however there is a...

So I've spent a LOT of time with these headphones now. They sound absolutely amazing. So detailed. Just amazing, but there is a catch. You've got to run them pretty dirty to sound good (Lots of bottom EQ (Mostly just boosting anything below ~200Hz)). At which point they have some of the...

Well, the DT770 needs ampage, so that's out. What about the 250-250? Need amp for them? Anyone comment on the Beyerdynamic DT 831?

Do K271 users normally EQ these headphones? I'm used to other Audiophile grade headphones that sound very much perfect flat/no eq. The only way I can get these K271s to have "ANY" bass is to ramp up the bass on my player all the way +10. I've only spent about 15 hours breaking them in...

Yea, I've got Crystal Method on repeat now and will continue overnight. The phones are absolutely amazing quality; I would be so utterly destroyed if they didn't develop. I'm patient, we'll see what happens.

gpalmer, I sure hope your right. I've read that here, so I'm being patient. Everything about them is top notch and I have high hopes for them, but I have to admit the sound out of the box is a bit worrisome. I've got them roasting now, and will let them play overnight at a moderate...

I just got my AKG K271s today. I've changed jobs, and chose to leave my Grado SR60 cans at home since they are a bit loud for an open office (cubes). After much research, reading of much info from this forum, headwize, and finally headrooms blerb on the AKG K217s I bought a pair. Listening...
