Bottom Line: The sound is clear, no strong bass, no strong high just extremly neutral.
You can hear things clear as you wouldn't with others (e.g. groaning of a chair in a classic orchestra, finest deatils in voices, ...)
I'm owning the AKG K270 since 18 years and I didn't really care about them - they still look like new even I use them every day.
One of my best parts I've bought.

Bottom Line: I have a AKG K270 Studio and I like it very much.
I really love good sounding audio. No extra bass or high tones in it.
This headphone has that!
I am a musician and play piano, keyboard, synth.
I need a headphone like this in my home-studio!
BEST!

Bottom Line: Out from the box, this earphones is the clearest, neutral, most detailed set i've ever owned. I have Mission 783 speakers and an all-Arcam set-up and listening to this baby was as enjoyable to listening to my speakers. I plugged it directly to my Arcam AVR100 headphone output and man was I in heaven! If you love honest presentations of recordings and looking for a honest-sounding headphone, the search is over.

Bottom Line: i can asure that people dislike this headphones are just ordinary listener who expect boom bass and think that boom bass is awesome... =)
the 270S is very-very honest sounding, its true that its a bit 'bass shy' becouse of the "flat" factor- but thats why its very accurate and help you judge the mixing process besides the monitor...
i definately think that if you buy the 270s for listening you might wont like it or might be dissaponted ( but i love it becouse of the 'honest' factor-- too bad the badly recorded CD would sounds more awefull in this), but if you do sound enginering, tracking and use it in studio environtment this one a true champion =)
i even considering to get another same pair since i love it so much and its been dicontinued and replaced by the 271 which dont have the dual driver in each ear cup.
if you're a bass maniac this product will dissapoint you..
you dont haer bass... you feel bass!!!! 'careful with your judge...
btw, this headphones need long burn in period... but its worthed since the sounds even more tranparent after the burn in.

Bottom Line: I bought the AKG 270 S based on a recommendation from a friend. Then I read a negative review about them on the internet. I don't think that negative review is justified. These headphones may be somewhat weak in the bass, but they sound very accurate and very open in the mid and high ranges. I like the automatic switch feature that turns off the sound when you take the phones off your head. I've worn them for hours, and they feel light and comfortable. They can really output deafening sound volume, very nicely, if you were so inclined to do so. That info's not for listening, but as an investment protection, in case you accidentally turn un-mute your system when the volume is way up high. These headphones are closed-design, and they do a good job of excluding surrounding noise... which I appreciate.
