I have had my AKG K271 Studio cans since summer 2004 and although I have heard many cans even since I got them, not to mention hearing (and owning) a few before, and they have remained my main home cans since I got them. I'm not sure exactly what it is about them, but they just seem to hit the spot for me for the music I listen to. Sure, some other cans do certain genres better than others, but the K271 manages to do pretty good for nearly everything for me. It's hard for me to believe that I've had them for so long, and admittedly I wouldn't mind adding a set or two of additional cans just for certain genres, but they wouldn't be able to supplant these things as all-rounders.
I will say that the first time I heard the K271 I did not like them. At all. It wasn't until I ordered them from TTVJ on Todd's suggestion (actually, he was out of the Beyerdynamic DT250-250 which were his first suggestion for a closed HD600 and the K271 his second) and paired them with my Singlepower PPX3 that I really liked these. They did take some getting used to yet it didn't take long for them to become my favourite cans out of any I have owned.
Am I really the only really enthusiastic supporter of the K271 here anymore?
