AKG Pro Audio K371 Over-Ear, Closed-Back, Foldable Studio Headphones

These arrived yesterday after i had returned a different open back rival at this price point. I had been very disappointed with them and after watching and reading countless reviews went ahead and ordered the K371s. Opened the nicely packaged headphones to find 3 different leads - short one for your phone etc, longer one ( with the required adaptor) for use with a home stereo system and a coiled one for use in a studio. The K371s are nicely made with decent build quality, not too big and they cut exterior noise out quite well. Sound quality, to me, is very good and is able to handle most genres which the other ones i sent back did not. They are easily driven by my Android phone, volume can go more than high enough. Bass is good, not excessive and they just have a nice sound. I have not had too many other headphones but id find it hard to imagine you could do better for the money. I would recommend these .

this was a sold as an amazon returns as good working order possible some marks ,NOT SO when arrived in battered box, no big deal, but only one side speaker working right side no sound and missing one lead , right side ear pad was removed .so this was then sent out to me as a being good working headphones .so not been checked by returns team just shipped out as is also no visible check could have been made either before leaving amazon warehouse because of ear pad was removed from its housing this cost £85 should have purchased new can only blame lazy staff

Great sound but very poor quality item. The black material on the earpads comes off and wears out very quickly (a matter of weeks!) and you end up with the yellow synthetic foam (normally inside the pads) on your ears. It's not a matter of care: my the chaffing of my beard was enough! I tried to use glue to stick the material back , but it is really rubbish quality. I had to use ducktape in the end to re-build the pads. Such a shame because the audio tech is really good. I would NOT recommend.

Use these headphones for in home listening found them to be quite accurate in response very enjoyable & comfortable for long listening periods good bass not too over extended but it is there !!!

Du pur AKG rien à dire l un des meilleurs casque dans cette gamme de prix !

Tam anlamıyla kaliteli ve paketleme gayet iyiydi.

I'm just getting into over the ear headphones, but have a good idea on what good sound is. I'm overall very satisfied with the buy read along to know why. I'm a big sucker for Harman tuning and the tonality it provides hence this headphone has been on my radar for a while. Sound signature: Theres tones of reviews talking bout these but here's my two cents. This closely follows the Harman curve with subtle differences I notice. The sub bass bump other people perceive at 30hz for me was at 50-60 hz. The mid was flat as a pancake with lower mid boost of around 2db 300-500hz which gives it some warmth not muddy as some people say. Treble was where I was a little disappointed, The overall nature is alright but I am extremely sensitive at 8khz (most people are) and most songs play into it giving it a bit of harshness Turn it down with an eq(2-4 dB depending on how it feels) to enjoy a more balanced sound. there is a big dip at 4hz probably around 5ish dB hence I could never see any studio professional using it. Build and comfort : not much complains here the headband is plastic but wrapped with a soft touch material there is this weird silicon balloon instead of foam at headband which is comfortable enough. The earpads are large and comfortable I have very large protruding ears which have no problem at all. The provided cables are not particularly premium but gets the job done. The connection to the headphone is provided by the tried and tested locking mini XLR port should last you well. My biggest worry here is the rotating earcups that pivot point seems to wobble quite a bit and I can see it loosening or even breaking over time Use cases: casual listening: Not a very fatiguing sound and great comfort. Do note for travel, these are bulky and heavy and don't isolate quite as well but it does fold up nice and small Studio Use: Since the mid is flat and overall it has nice tonality and can be used for monitoring vocals or feedback to the singers. Not recommended for mixing (should be alright for small independent producers) you should be mixing with monitors anyway.

Forget ATH M50. Get these instead.
