Do you think it is better than the closed K270S? Peter (Iron_Dreamer) said if he had to choose one he would pick the K270S instead of K271S, I think.

True, but that doesn't mean the K271 is without merit, and if you're in need a another headphone to amuse yourself, why not?

Because it costs several times what I usually pay for AKGs.

Someone has a K271S for sale for $120 shipped on the FS forums.

That is still several times what I usually pay for AKGs.

Sell off some K240's.

As for the 271 vs the 270... never heard the 270 so I can't comment, but the 271 does really well with high-end amps... sounded great out of a Dynahi that's been worked over by Trevor.

I don't use high-end equipment anymore since I resigned from being an audiophile. I will only be plugging my headphones into the integrated amp for my PC speakers.

Try searching for the elusive K4 electrostat/dynamic. I know lan has one and he really enjoys them. You can also check this website if you want to check out the whole akg line. However, i am not sure if its the whole thing. http://headphones.warzone.org/

K4 is a hybrid too? I will keep an eye out for that, thanks for the tip, Minh.

p.s. Did you ever get those tube boxes I sent you?

That's just a K301Xtra in white. Even more stupid looking than the original, so I'll buy them even less.

hehe well that leaves the Hearo 787 wireless surround headphones

those actually seem interesting if they're using stuff from Lexicon

Have you tried these vintage senn's?

Jk, have you tried woody K340's on Headphile?

Senns never sounded this good before.

I listened to some woody headphile K340s briefly, and I have examined them internally to see just what the differences were.

What woody K340s are you refering to? The only ones I have seen are just the K340s with wood trim pieces, and that has no effect on SQ at all, just a cosmetic addition. Now a K340 in a CD-3000 shell with wood cups would certainly peek my interest. Has anyone made one?
