AKG HSC271 - Closed Back Over-Ear Studio Headset with 55-Ohm Impedance and 20Hz to 20kHz Frequency Response in Black Finish

The AKG HSC271 Professional Headset with Condenser Microphone is designed for high-quality audio applications in video production, ENG/EFP (electronic news gathering/portable field production), and intercom systems. Based on the renowned K271 MKII studio headphones, the HSC271 offers superior closed-back, over-ear design for optimal sound isolation and comfort, making it perfect for use in noisy environments. The addition of a flexible gooseneck condenser microphone ensures clear and precise audio capture, ideal for live performance, broadcast, and production environments.

The closed-back, over-ear design of the HSC271 provides excellent noise isolation, allowing users to focus on their audio work without external distractions. The headphones feature a built-in mute switch in the headband, which automatically turns off the audio when the headset is removed, ensuring that no unwanted sound is heard when the headset is not in use. Additionally, the gooseneck microphone features a mute switch that silences the microphone as soon as the arm is raised, offering full control over when audio is picked up and preventing any unwanted noise during downtime or transitions.

Flexibility is key with the HSC271, as the microphone can be mounted on either the left or right side depending on user preference, ensuring an adaptable solution for different workspaces. The headset connects via a durable six-pin mini XLR connector, allowing for quick replacement of the cable should it become damaged over time. A variety of cable options are available separately, ensuring that the HSC271 can easily integrate into different professional setups. The switchable bass filter helps minimize rumble and low-frequency noise, providing cleaner, more intelligible audio, particularly in noisy environments.
