Hi. Did you get them fixed? I've just bought the same drivers and I'm about to solder them in. It's going to be awkward. And I know nothing about soldering except what I watched on youtube last night.   AKG K271.   I'm scared.

Well the cable has made some difference. Things are much better now. But they still have a bit of rattle. So I have taken them apart and changed the drivers. I'm just waiting to get some solder this afternoon. I'm not looking forward to doing this as I know nothing about soldering. I know I will...

Yeah I think that's got to be the best way. I have ordered two drivers. If the cable which arrives on Friday fixes the problem then at least I have got a couple of spare drivers for the future. I've found drivers for the old k240DF 600ohm, now I'm thinking about putting them in the k271. It will...

I've found the drivers for the k240 DF available online. I was thinking about buying them to mod my k271. Would this be a upgrade do you think?

I'm going to give this a try. Just looking for some cotton buds now.  I'm a noob, just so you know. But, I'm not a bass head. I'm not interested in "extra" bass. But I am interested in improving my K271's. I found a blog about improving the k701's and I was wondering if this mod could be...

Thanks for reply's  Teska. I've found a company that supplies spares. I've ordered a cable, and they have drivers if I need them. The drivers are cheep too. Only £11. If I do have to replace the driver would it be best to buy two and replace them both or would it be ok to just replace one?

What are the chances that I have blown the driver after plugging it into the 600ohm jack? (and possibly turning it up to much)

Unfortunately I don't have another lead/cable to try. I don't think they came with 2 cables. I have just finished putting the left side back together after having a look inside. Hope I don't have to do that to often as I found it really difficult to get back together. Everything looked ok in...

Hi folks.  I'm totally gutted. My 7 year old K271's mk1 have started rattling, it's the left speaker only, and only when playing bass sounds even at low volume.  I have checked for any hair stuck in speaker and there is non. The cable is in very bad condition but I've got a feeling that...
