Re: Akg 271 or 701


I had the k271's. I sold them. I found them uncomfortable (the pleather would sweat, I understand there is a velour upgrade that may be better). I also found them less than awe inspiring for sound. I have no idea if the k701 is better (for me 'open" usually means better). However, headphones I consider much better are the sennheiser hd600 (no contest, especially on classical) and the Shure e2c (in ears take some getting used to, but I think the Shures are a great value for a lot less than the k271). Worst headphone I ever owned was the Grado 325. They would have flashes of musicality, but generally gave "house of pain" a whole new meaning.
