I'm getting ready to invest soon in a better set of headphones for
monitoring my indoor and outdoor recording sessions. I'm using a Sony
PCM-M10, sometimes with internal mics and sometimes with PIP external
microphones.

Two headphone models are within my budget and on my short list:

AKG K240 MK II - semi-closed.
AKG K271 MK II - closed.

The K271's cost slightly more, but other than the earpiece design they have
very similar specifications.

Looking for opinions one way or the other.

Thanks!!!

Glen Rickerd
