With the Recognition of Two Prestigious Awards and Unqualified Praise, AKG’s K 271 Studio Headphones are Appearing in Recording and Broadcast Studios Around the World(AKG | Posted 2004-01-31)  AKG’s K 271 Studio headphones are quickly becoming a staple among musicians, engineers and broadcasters. First introduced in March 2003, these headphones have received two prestigious awards and rave reviews from leading industry publications acknowledging the superior sonic reproduction and AKG’s solid design.
In October, AKG proudly accepted a TEC Award for the K 271 Studio headphones from the Mix Foundation for Excellence in Audio and Mix magazine. Industry professionals and over 40,000 subscribers of Mix magazine selected their favorite new products from 2003 that represented superior accomplishment and technical excellence. In a ceremony at the AES show in New York the TEC Awards were presented to the winning products from various product classes. “It was a great honor to accept the TEC Award for the K 271 Studio headphones,” said Mike Torlone, AKG Market Development Manager for Studio. “That is a very prestigious award and it was wonderful to receive such positive feedback about an AKG product.”
The “Reviewers Pick Award” presented by Pro Audio Review magazine selected the K 271 Studio as being one of the best new products from 2003. The headphones were recognized as being a favorite of industry professionals based on criteria of innovation, value and performance. “My first impression was, Wow! This headphone is comfortable. My second impression was how well it isolated.” recalls John Gatski, Publisher/Executive Editor of Pro Audio Review. “The sonics are clean and revealing with excellent imaging.”
Other praise for the K 271 Studio includes Mike Metlay of Recording Magazine: “High cymbals and metal percussion had no hint of strain. Bass was there in profusion, detailed and punchy…the mids sat where they should with no overemphasis or scooping. You must hear
these headphones!” Says Michael Cooper in Electronic Musician: “It’s hard to find headphones that sound natural and unhyped and reveal the detail you need for critical applications. But these cans deliver. The AKG K271 Studio is arguably the most versatile set of headphones…”
AKG’s K 271 Studio headphones provide better sonic performance at an affordable price thanks to the new XXL VariMotion technology. “The true test of these headphones is in their performance in the studio and it makes us proud to know that musicians, sound engineers and broadcasters recognize the AKG K271 Studio as a great headphone,” stated Torlone.
