So...enjoying my AKG K271 Mk II's. They are quite similar to my K240 Mk II's apart from, possibly, a slightly more bodied upper mid response. A slightly tighter, maybe closer (dare I say boxier) sound that perhaps comes hand in hand with a closed phone as opposed to the semi-open K240's. The K271 Mk II's are still quite fresh out of the box, though, so I imagine they still have a bit of settling in to do. Who knows. I'm probably being really inarticulate. I like both of them. Both good headphones. Velour pads are considerably more comfortable.
