Editorial note

The AKG K171 MKII headphones stand out for their excellent audio quality, with a sensitivity of 107 dB and a wide frequency range of 18 to 26000 Hz, providing an immersive and dynamic listening experience. Their closed acoustic system allows for optimal sound isolation, which promotes total immersion in the music without external distractions. Additionally, their in-ear design ensures prolonged listening comfort, ideal for travel or long listening sessions. However, the weight of 240 g may be perceived as a bit heavy, which could lead to auditory fatigue for some users. The wired connectivity, although reliable thanks to the gold-plated Mini XLR connector, may not appeal to those who prefer the freedom offered by wireless headphones. Furthermore, while the closed acoustic system is effective for isolation, it can create a feeling of excessive isolation in certain situations. The in-ear design, while effective, may not suit everyone, with some users preferring over-ear models for increased comfort. In conclusion, the AKG K171 MKII offers good value for money with remarkable audio performance, although some aspects of their design and connectivity may limit the user experience for some. The included user manual provides clear instructions to optimize the use of the product.
