So the K271/272 are superior to say the 240/241?
What is the difference between K271 MkI and MKII?
Personally, I much prefer the K 240 MK II to the K 271 MK II. I found the former has more realistic bass and a more full sound. But to each his own -- many love the K 271 and it is a very nice headphone.

The K340 is without contest the best closed headphone AKG ever made or will ever make. Then probably the K270 playback (2 drivers per channel), then the K271. Then the dribble like the K81dj
The K240 is semi-open...
Actually, for some reason I thought the K340 was semi open.
I seriously hope the 271 isn't AKG's best closed can, considering the 340 is closed as well.
I haven't heard the 340, but the 271 is something I regret buying. I kinda broke mine, cosmetically, so I've never bothered to try and sell them, but I never use them either. They sound... strange. Somewhat detailed, but kinda intangible in some way. Sorry, I can't explain it properly, I'm not quite sure what it is that makes them sound this way, but for me the sound is something I can very well live without. Do try them before buying.
On the +, they isolate quite well.
