The AKG K 171 MK II combines the benefits of a closed-back design with the lightweight and comfort of supra-aural headphones.

The AKG K 171 MK II is designed for on stage monitoring and tracking as well as DJ mixing. It is an excellent choice for DJ and broadcast applications where no sound can bleed from the headphones into live microphones.

The closed-back, loud and rugged design gives the K 171 MK II a different low-frequency character and maintains its comfort and flexibility.

Not for the water heads

This is a nice product, but others who like me who have a natural large head (I have difficulty finding hats, caps are always XL) should take note that these headphones become very tight around the skull after a while. Which is a bit funny since I bought these to upgrade my older AKG set which is a simpler model - and it doesn\\\'t feel tight at all! I guess any product that you wear on your body shouldn\\\'t be bought without trying it on for real, so my mistake - doh! The tension can\\\'t be adjusted. The rather huge brace actually makes me look funny... does it matter in the studio? Otherwise it has the typical AKG sound which is a little light in the bass for some people\\\'s taste. It doesn\\\'t cheat - you\\\'ll have to provide good sound to get a good sound in these; they\\\'re pretty revealing. Which is exactly what you\\\'d want in your home studio.
