AKG K271 MKII Closed-Back Studio Headphones

The K271 MKII is a closed-back, over-ear studio headphone built for tracking, where isolation matters most. The sealed enclosure keeps click and playback from bleeding into an open microphone, and the 30 mm XXL transducers deliver a clear, even sound for judging takes at the source.

A built-in mechanical switch mutes the headphone automatically when it is lifted off the head, so a performer or engineer does not have to reach for the console. It ships with two detachable cables and two sets of ear pads, and the self-adjusting headband keeps it comfortable through long sessions.
