Best under budget.
Weight; Almost all AKG headphones are light weight, so no worries. Build Quality; Really better build quality, than it's comparators, though it is just hard plastic. Also, the velvet pads are soooo comfy Function Usage; 1. Best for studio recordings ; it's a closed back!! 2. The field emulation is quite great considering its price, so it's definitely considered for orchestra related music. 3. I'm not personally a drummer but my fellow people says it's worth it! 4. Detachable cable, so worthable for live sound (like field recording) Sound quality; Frequency range: The bass is not enough(feels even lower than flat ones), making it too dull. The mids and highs are arguably good. Clarity: The instrument isolation is every clear but lacks volume (compared with DT770 80 ohms) even after using a better DAC. Clarity further decreases when used in mobile systems (including laptops); tried on Dell G15 and Asus F15, both feels off. I don't personally like this use of mini XLR but, it's fine (locks perfectly and easy to attach and detach)

“If I could give zero stars, I’d still feel like I overpaid.”
This product is the physical embodiment of disappointment. I’ve had heartbreaks that hurt less. It stopped working faster than my motivation on a Monday morning. The packaging looked like it survived a bar fight, and the manual was clearly written by someone who’s never met the product — or the English language. I tried to return it, but the company ghosted me like a bad Tinder date. Now it sits on my shelf as a ₹ 8,000 reminder of poor life choices. I’d rather set my money on fire — at least that would provide warmth and entertainment. Do not buy. Not even as a prank.

AKG Reviewfi.com review
I picked up a pair of AKGs back in November on sale for $[...] to substitute my Paradigm Monitor speakers while I am not at home. After much scrutiny, I picked the AKG K271 MKII; while it is not the most recent model released by the company, it offers the same sound quality and more. To put it bluntly, I was extremely satisfied. To start, the most important aspect of headphones (aka cans) of this nature: sound quality. The general consensus is that AKG is very muddy in the bass while being very bright on the high end. While the stereotype may be true in some models, the headphones are fantastic at covering the entire spectrum from muddy to crisp. I will have to agree the highs are bright, but nothing that can't be fixed to your liking in an equalizer. When I first started listening to them, I experienced the "wow, I'v never noticed that cymbal hit before" symptom. I could (and have) lay on my bed listening to music for hours, completely enveloped in music; the downside is the drop in external perception leads to being very startled by visitors. While an impedance of 55 Ohms doesn't necessarily call for a headphone amp, I picked one up just to see the difference. The PA2V2 was recommended to me, so I emailed the gentleman over at Electric-Avenue.com and bought one. The K271 and PA2v2 pair nicely with each other: boosting the bass and bringing out the sound as a whole, without the amp I had most audio outputs turned very high up. The amp has also been nice to have for all my headphones, but more to come on that in the PA2v2 full review. The build of the headphones is solid and I don't feel like I'm going to break them. I quite enjoy the features that have been integrated into these headphones, from them turning off when you take them off, to a small slit allowing for easy earpad replacement. To begin, the auto adjusting headband: size fitting to everyone, the band being pushed up also enables the sound to come through the drivers. The K271 also comes with a detachable cable, so you can have the long studio cable, or the spiral stretch cable (and you don't have to worry about wrapping the cable around the cans). Lastly, the cans come with leatherette or velour eapads: I personally use the velour as they warm the bass and are very comfortable. After reading through hundreds of reviews for AKG, Grado, Sennheiser, and Beyerdynamic, I cut my final choice down to the AKG K271 and K272. The difference? A whole bunch of accessories, color, and price. The K272 retails at $329 on amazon, comes in black with a 1/4 inch adapter and Velour ear pads. The K271 MKII retails at $151 on amazon, comes in dark blue with a 1/4 inch adapter, Leatherette and Velour ear pads, detachable 3m cable and 5m coiled cable. After about 70 hours of listening these cans have burned in to sound even better than when I first got them, and I strongly recommend them if you're looking for this style. (Note: these headphones can't really be used for DJing) [...].

Ottime e leggere
MATERIALE E ISOLAMENTO: Non penso che solo perché i rivestimenti esterni sono di plastica allora sono soldi buttati, ma devo ammettere che la descrizione ufficiale "Advanced closed technology - for high noise insulation" mi aveva fatto sperare di meglio per l'isolamento acustico. Forse è il tipo di plastica differente. Devo dire che sui piani e adagi e su alcune frequenze dei bassi anche le Sony non isolavano come da pubblicità quindi forse ho io una aspettativa troppo alta su questo fronte. PESO: Io vengo da delle Sony MDR V-700, che come tante cuffie da studio e da DJ hanno un peso secondo me eccessivo della fascia superiore, nonché complessivo. Ho scelto AKG perché molte delle loro cuffie hanno il doppio archetto in filo metallico e la fascia auto-regolante, che non pensavo di sarebbe piaciuta più di tanto a dir la verità, ma forse perché è larga e non troppo sottile (e si auto-regola davvero), adesso mi piace proprio. Le Sony stavo spesso lì ad aggiustarle avanti e indietro ma con queste non lo faccio quasi più. RONZII: Finora nessun ronzio, ne nei bassi ne negli alti. EXTRA: Adoro il doppio cavo e i doppi padiglioni, il cavo liscio è bello lungo. Buono anche il fatto che ci sia mercato per dei padiglioni di ricambio nel caso li voglia più o meno spessi o di altri materiali. Più utile del previsto l'auto-mute. L'interruttore nella arcata superiore che interrompe il suono quando si tolgono le cuffie (a questo proposito l'inserzione di Amazon ha una grave lacuna secondo me). Meglio di dover sbattere alla cieca il mute o abbassare l'amp quando entra qualcuno nella stanza per parlarci. Basta togliere le cuffie e poi fare pausa con calma. Che altro dire, finora sono come ci si aspetterebbe da delle cuffie nuove di fascia media di una azienda con decenni di esperienza. Dipende a che livello suonate o fate mastering. Se guadagnassi dal mio mastering prenderei il top o quasi top della gamma perché sarebbe un investimento, ma l'audio editing è tra i vostri hobby o siete audiofili o radioamatori, io per la mia esperienza finora ve le consiglierei.

Excellent Headphones
At the 80 CDN price tag I got them for, they were a real deal. They are comfortable and sound great. As noted in other reviews,the bias on these is neutral; everything shows up on stage and is measured. Not for the "deep bass" experience.
