For a closed around the ear phone the AKG 271 isolate sound is quite good at -16 and the Fisher FA003 is -15 according to Inner Fidelity charts. Both are good. The Fisher comes with extra ear pads that are velvet for those hot summers. The AKG 271 seems to have a recessed mid-range as compared to the Fishers. Also the AKG ear pads do not pivot and puts more pressure on my upper neck which in turn muffle the sounds and I would have to bend the frame to get equal pressure on the top of the ear-pads vs the bottom of the ear-pad. This was the issue with the AKG 701 headphones that I tried at a RMAF show since I have a narrow head.
