Already done that, and the Kenwood KH-K1000 as well
Had comfort issues with both.
The vinyl earpads of the K271 are not deep enough, so my ears touched the drivers real bad. The velour pads were even worse comfortwise.
The K1000 earpads were not wide enough, so they sat on my ears, instead of surrounding them.
For sound, I found the K1000 as dull as the K271S. But maybe that was a amp mismatch.
Tried neither of them with leather pads though.
I still have the K270 Playback, which I prefer over the K271 because they sound livelier, more PRaT. And the cups have more room for my ears. I covered the openings with foam rings, so my ears don't touch the inner parts anymore.
I had Beyer leather earpads on them, but switched back to the vinyl pads for a more natural sound. With the leather earpads, the mids were somewhat nasal/ telephonic.
Tomorrow I have the opportunity to listen to the Ultrasone Pro900.
But the DT770/600 is really my last chance for a second affordable, comfortable and good sounding closed headphone.
I don't count the GMT250, because they don't isolate at all.
