Devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better experience.
2.has an over-the-ear form
✔AKG K271 MKII
Comfortable full-size form with earcups that fully enclose your ears. This model is loved for its increased sound isolation and the fact that it won't leak sound to your neighbors. It offers potential for maximum bass and loudness levels.
3.has a detachable cable
✔AKG K271 MKII
With a detachable cable you can use alternative cables, and if the cable is pulled it will pop out instead of breaking.
4.sweat resistance
✖AKG K271 MKII
Resistance to sweat makes it ideal for use while doing sports.
5.weather-sealed (splashproof)
✖AKG K271 MKII
The device is protected with extra seals to prevent failures caused by dust, raindrops, and water splashes.
6.weight
240g
We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
7.can be folded
✖AKG K271 MKII
Foldable devices are easier to transport and take up less storage space.
8.travel bag is included
✖AKG K271 MKII
The device comes with its own special case or pouch, which is useful for safe transportation.
9.has an in-ear form
✖AKG K271 MKII
The in-ear device is ultracompact and lightweight, with little or no interference with earrings, spectacles, hats, or hairstyles. It is inserted in the ear canal itself and blocks out a lot of environmental noise. It has stronger bass tones and is unlikely to fall out of the ear.
Sound quality
The lowest frequency at which the device produces audio. The lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
2.highest frequency
28000Hz
The highest frequency at which device produces audio. The higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
3.has passive noise reduction
✔AKG K271 MKII
The device sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal which reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out.
4.has active noise cancellation (noise control)
✖AKG K271 MKII
This type of device allows you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise. Ideal for plane rides and morning commutes.
5.sound pressure level
104dB/mW
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
6.has a neodymium magnet
✖AKG K271 MKII
Devices with neodymium magnets are lighter and more powerful than those which use ferrite magnets. They also have more bass and clear high notes.
7.impedance
55 Ohms
Impedance is the device’s electrical resistance to the current being pushed through it. The lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device. Bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.
9.diaphragm size
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The diaphragm moves air back and forth to create sound. The bigger the diaphragm, the more bass it can produce.
