The AKG K271 MKII are studio headphones that are a suitable choice for working on stage or in a studio. These headphones offer a frequency response of 16 Hz to 28 kHz and a closed-back design.

The self-adjusting headband provides a secure and comfortable fit. A switch inside the headband mutes the audio as soon as the headphones are taken off to prevent unwanted sound leakage. The over-ear earpieces provide both long-lasting comfort and ambient noise reduction. Leatherette and velvet earpads are provided.

The headphones come with two detachable cables: one straight and one coiled. Each cable has a gold-plated 3.5mm stereo mini plug for connecting to a variety of devices. A 1/4" adapter plug is also included for connecting to pro-level gear.
