 Great sound, good design January 8, 2009
I've only had these about a month, but I've been using them everyday. The sound is great, as least as far as I can tell, and they're really great at blocking out ambient noise. I'd say they are slightly uncomfortable after long periods of time, but not too terrible, certainly not enough for me to stop using them.
 Great lightweight portable item December 31, 2008
I love these, they are very lightweight and quite comfortable, the sound is good, and they seem well made. They fold small enough to fit in my jacket pocket or small compartment of my bag. I use them almost daily and they've held up so far.

The are nice listening stereo headphones. They play loud with my portable MP3 player. The audio is near audiophile quality. They are small and won't attract attention. The headphones are "not" closed headphones. I can hear ambient noise. I have to turn-up the volume to mask the ambient noise(Subway trains and Bus). They are open air headphones? Overall, I am recommending a BUY. You will be not disappointment. Good quality construction.
Exactly What I Was Looking For August 7, 2008

These are amazing. I have been researching headphones for a while, and there are so many choices out there that it took me some time to commit to a pair. But, these are perfection. Not expensive, and the sound is so quality compared to earbuds. I listen to my ipod while commuting to work as well as in the office, so I needed a pair that travels well but also delivers. These headphones insulate noise and have managed to give new life to songs that I was starting to get tired of. One of the best purchases I have made this year. I wish they came with a hard case, but really one can only ask for so much.
 Good Sound Quality & Comfortable, but Poorly Made May 15, 2008

I bought these headphones after comparing pairs for a month, and when they arrived, I felt INCREDIBLY satisfied with my purchase.
The sound quality is undeniably great, though indeed the mids can become a bit compressed. The headphones are light and fit comfortably - I managed to wear these for 3 hours on end without soreness. All in all, the headphones were more than worth the $50. But what has turned me off from the k27i is its poor construction.
After less than a month of use, the right cup of the headphones detached. Just cleanly and completely came off. There was no evidence of material fatigue or breakage, and, yes, after a couple of attempts to reattach the cup I succeeded. I also contacted AKG in an attempt to exercise the warranty, since my pair was definitely flawed.
I know what you're thinking - shouldn't be anything to worry about, considering the 2-year manufacturing warranty. Well, I sent an email to AKG's U.S. branch of warranty service and they gave me this reply: "Unfortunately this is a non-warranty issue... if you'd like to send them in for a replacement we would be more then happy to replace them at a charge of $43.00 plus shipping."
Naturally, my reaction was shock. The cup of the headphones detached without any help and clearly the pair were in some way internally defective, yet I am unable to obtain service. No, according to AKG, I must purchase another pair.
The headphones lived up to my expectations but the company did not. I'm very disappointed in AKG's policy and feel cheated. For the short amount of time (keep in mind, this was a mere 3 weeks of daily use) I was able to enjoy my headphones, I rate them a 5. But considering the shoddy workmanship of the product and AKG's failure to stand by its warranty, I give the k27i a 2.
