April 13, 200818 yr comment_112980 http://www.akg.com/personal/powerslave,id,15,nodeid,15,_language,EN.html Looks like they've refreshed their studio line of headphones. My first "big boy" headphones was the K271 S. I still have a soft spot for it. Might be interesting to hear the new K 272 HD. As far as closed headphones go, the K271 S was pretty darn good for the $150-200 price tag. Report

April 13, 200818 yr comment_112984 everyone @ h43d-f1 is hanging on for the K702 that is apparently coming Report
April 13, 200818 yr comment_112985 IIRC, there were no real changes in going from K271 to K272HD, aside from use of velour pads, slightly different cosmetic, and non-detachable cord. Report
April 13, 200818 yr comment_112986 No respect for AKG from me until they announce the return of K1K (MkII?) or an electrostat. I doubt that'll happen as I suspect it'll cost them (Harma Kardon) too much money for little return. Report
April 13, 200818 yr comment_112988 I doubt that'll happen as I suspect it'll cost them (Harma Kardon) too much money for little return. The argument had been waged for a while now. Why would AKG replace a headphone that is still selling well? They were having a hard time keeping up with demand, it just doesn't make much economical sense. Hey, I'd love to hear a 702 (I'm still fond of the 701), but I just don't see it happening yet. Report
