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

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.

These are simply phenomenal. They have a flat sound signature, flatter than ATH-M50X. This will make you hear the true neutral sound of your mix. Since I’ve started using these, my music production quality has gone up several notches. These are simply the best buy at this price point. I got mine for 6k, which is a total steal! They are ultra-comfortable. I’ve had no issues wearing them for long durations. The cushions are so soft and feels very very premium. Overall build quality also feels very premium. Sound isolation is not the best. They come with THREE cables out of the box! That’s right, three! There’s a huge coil cable which you can use for tangle-free experience Overall: 9.5/10

I was kind of skeptical to go for the AKG due to the quality issues I read online, but after reading AKG's reply to those complaints, where they not only apologised and recalled most of the products, they also said they will be ramping up Q/A checking. And it's safe to say they have delivered on that promise. The K371 are wonderful neutral-sounding monitoring headphones. I bought them to monitor audio on shoots and it has saved me quite the trouble. It easily folds and packs into my backpack, and the different cables help too. I also use them for editing and boy are they comfortable! I honestly forget that I am wearing headphones sometimes. The cups close around properly as well, though as a specs wearer, there is a difference when you wear your specs and when you don't. The foam pads are superb, and even though I have big ears, these have no problem covering them without having to put pressure on my ear. The build quality is also quite good. they have managed to fall down once or twice from a good height, yet managed not to break or crack. If you are looking for headphones to monitor, edit, and work with audio, these are definitely worth it. Though I bought them on lightning sale at around 6k.

Really good cheap closed back headphones for mixing. The bass is a tad bit too prominent..and the air found in the 10k-20k region is a little bit silent. Sounds neutral otherwise. Easily beats the m30x m40x m50x models by ATH.

Sounds good but the quality control is horrific. I've gone through multiple pairs and each one has some defect in its build quality, like a loose hinge or channel imbalances. Maybe I'm just unlucky, but other reviews have mentioned similar issues.

AKG/Harman outdid themselves on this one. It has incredible comfort and truly outstanding sound for the price. I needed no EQ adjustments at all. This is a benchmark for under 15k Closed back headphones. The mids are a bit sharp but I wouldn't complain much. The problem is the terrible quality control. I know others who have purchased this product here have no issues with the build quality, but I was unlucky twice. My second replacement pickup was scheduled on the day of first lockdown. I had wait almost two months to get my refund. The problem is the headband connection mechanism with the yoke. It was loose in both the headphones I received. I really like the sound signature of this headphone but I don't want to risk getting a faulty product a third time. For those who don't have issues with the build find yourselves lucky because there definitely is a QC issue.

Sounds phenomenal, fits perfectly. I received 2 pairs of the k371 today, and both are in pristine conditions with no issues faced. I read many reviews stating that the qc was poor, however I didn't face such an issue. Moreover rs6000 is an absolute STEAL deal for these headphones!

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.

Forget ATH M50. Get these instead.

Verry comfortable and high quality. I like this headphone. K371 + Sonarworks = flat sound for mix & mastering
