AKG HSC271 Professional Headsets With Condenser Microphone
The AKG HSC271 delivers professional-grade comfort and audio clarity in a hands-free headset format designed for extended wear. The closed-back, over-ear design built on the proven K271 MKII platform provides reliable isolation and consistent monitoring, while the integrated high-performance condenser microphone captures vocals and acoustic sources with pristine clarity and natural presence. This combination makes the HSC271 equally suited to live sound reinforcement, studio recording, podcasting, and content creation.
Design & Build
The closed-back, over-ear design seals in your monitor mix and keeps external noise at bay for focused listening during gigs and rehearsals. The microphone arm swivels through a 270-degree arc and can be mounted to either the left or right side, accommodating different head shapes and onstage preferences. Both the microphone and headphones feature auto-mute functionality—the mic mutes when the arm is raised, and the headphones mute when removed—eliminating unnecessary audio bleed during transitions and keeping your mix tight during live performance.
Audio Performance & Connectivity
The 20Hz to 20kHz frequency response ensures you hear the full picture across your entire instrument and mix, capturing both the deep low-end and articulate highs that matter in a live setting. The 55-ohm impedance and 200 mW maximum input power handling provide compatibility with both compact portable interfaces and full-scale live consoles, giving you flexibility in your rig. All connections route through a rugged six-pin mini XLR connector, the broadcast and live sound standard that's built to survive the road and the rack.
