HSC 171/HSC 271





  • Professional headsets derived from K 171 and K 271 Studio headphones
  • Closed-back headphones for optimum ambient-noise attenuation
  • Condenser microphone
  • Flexible microphone arm with shock mounted transducer, swiveling through 270 degrees for left or right-hand use
  • Headphone auto-mute function (HSC 271)
  • Detachable cable with mini XLR connector
  • Switchable bass cut filter

These professional headsets from AKG have been designed for broadcast and recording use.

In addition to excellent comfort, optimum ambient-noise attenuation, and outstanding audio quality, the HSC Series professional headsets use the same proven detachable cable as the Studio Series headphones. So should a cable become defective under the enormous stress of day-to-day broadcast work, it can be replaced quickly and without any tools.

The flexible microphone arm swivels through a 270-degree arc. Therefore, you can wear the microphone to the left or right of your mouth depending on your preferences or available space.

Commentators, off-camera moderators, camera operators, or sound engineers - AKG professional headsets are always the perfect tools for any application in professional audio and satisfy every user’s personal preferences.

What professional users say:

"We at ORF Austrian Radio and TV prefer products that have been designed to satisfy the needs of their users. In developing these new headsets, AKG actually thought of everything. Providing exceptional ease of handling, innovative features, and superior intelligibility, the professional headsets from AKG more than satisfy our requirements."
