AKG K 271
Product Rating 
The new K 271 Studio, while providing the same performance as the K 270 Studio, is much lighter and easier to use, and still provides a natural, pristine sound. The closed-back, circumaural earphones provide maximum attenuation of high ambient noise. The K 271 Studio are also ideal for all applications where no sound must leak from the headphones. The headphones switch off automatically when taken off. Since this feature prevents headphone signals from spilling over into an open microphone it is highly appreciated by recording studio, live sound, TV sound, and broadcast engineers.

If you ever tried to listen to a classical CD while travelling on the London underground, you will know that extraneous noise prevents you hearing anything but the loudest parts, which is worse than useless. "Noise-cancelling" phones are just a silly, hopeful compromise. So I looked for a totally enclosed pair of headphones, and after reading many reviews, chose these. They are a revelation. In a recording of Beethoven cello sonatas I can hear that the cellist may have a cold and is breathing through his mouth - something I never heard even on speakers. The detail is excellent, natural; the sound stage superb. They are a little bass light, but that's what you pay for if you want an accurate representation of the tune in the middle. If all you want is something to vibrate your colon, you won't know or care what high fidelity means anyway, so go and get some famous name rubbish at a quarter of the price. Besides being expensive (although not ridiculous) they are pretty large - they have to be in order to be wholly enclosed and be anywhere near good, since you need enough air behind the drive units. But they are not heavy. When you take them off, they switch off automatically, so it's very difficult to annoy anyone. They have solved the problem, although I can still feel the track and so far have not missed my stop. They are not loud, and some cheap sound sources may have difficulty damaging your ear drums. I am getting a small battery driven headphone amplifier for some recordings where the dynamic range is very wide.
