Hi, on Friday I get a sample of the new AKG K271 MKII for test My first impression, listening on burning in ..... It sounds better than the "old" AKG K271 Studio, comes close to the K701, ...... More about coming soon ..... www.akg.com/site/products/powerslave,id,1064,nodeid,2,_language,EN.html www.akg.com/site/product_applications/powerslave,id,13,nodeid,2,_language,EN.html

does it have rounded off highs and lows with strong mids like the old k271? are the earcups deeper? comfortable? does it sound entirely different?

It's burning in - but I listen too - my feeling (but non direct hearing-compare), the new K271 is a bit nearer to the K701. I ask AKG for the frequency response of the new. I feel more bass, the highs are not so silky-smooth as with K701. But this small differences. Mechanical - it's the same as the old - but with additional velvet ear pads (first I changed to velvet and have better comfort). Coming with leatherette and additional velvet ear pads, single-sided, detachable 3 m cable and additional 5 m coiled cable, gold plated 1/8" to 1/4" screw-on adapter. The K271 MKII is the top of the AKG studio headphone series, as the K701 is the top of the AKG consumer series (but studios like the K701 too).
