The newly designed K 171 MK II combines the benefits of a closed-back design with the lightweight and comfort of supra-aural headphones.

The K 171 MK II is an excellent choice for DJ and broadcast applications where no sound can bleed from the headphones into live microphones.

The closed-back, loud and rugged design gives the K 171 MK II a different low-frequency character and maintains its comfort and flexibility.

By the way, the K 171 MK II is also available as a headset with dynamic microphone (HSD 171) or condenser microphone (HSC 171).
