AKG K-371

I needed headphones for both mixing on the fly and for tracking. For that, they needed to not color the sound in a significant way, light, and closed. These succeed in all of those tasks.

Frequency-wise, to my ear there isn't any particular set of frequencies that stand out. No hissy highs or boomy (or absent) lows. Mid-range is controlled and tightly fit with the rest.

Easy to manage, quick to store away, and with different cables, it's easy to set them up in a way that fits the job at hand.
Field recording - good to carry around, easy to pack away, long cable if you need the distance.
Mixing - despite their being a closed design, they also feel like they breathe well, and their frequency response is smooth through and through.
Tracking - again, long cable to move around, and very light.

Overall, these are headphones that will fit more than one job description in a more than competent manner, and I would definitely recommend them.

Nearly 2 years of use review:
What I liked:
- Powerful bass, the 50 mm drivers pack a punch without blowing out the mids and being muddy
- Overall sound, these headphones have a nice natural sound with loads of detail which isn't lost to bass.
- Very responsive to EQ, these headphones can be easily tuned to whatever sound you like, analytical sounding to head vibrating bass.
- Cables, very nice selection of cables which are removable.
- Build quality, these headphones are very sturdy and they fold which is good for transport.

What I didn't like:
- Somewhat narrow soundstage, these headphones are closed back so the sound might appear to be quite closed in.
- Comfort, At first use the comfort wasn't great, the ear cups were shallow, the pads prevent use with glasses since losing the seal decimates the sound and the headphones aren't the most stable on the head. It can also get warm after a while.
Conclusion: Absolutely worth it. They are a great pair of headphones.

Very pleased with the quality of these .
Swapping between these and Sundaras is a good palate cleanser, Sundaras give a more clinical, wide and spacious sound while these give a more intimate and more "alive" sound with a bit more bass slam.
The only negative is the comfort, i have slightly big ears (7x4cm) and these are a bit too narrow in width, after some 40min mark i have to adjust them, if you have slightly smaller ear then these will fit snug.
Highly recommend these headphones for both studio work and just enjoying the music, these punch way above their price point, they are one of the best closed backs available.

I am writing this review from Istanbul/Türkiye. The product arrived in a perfect package. Thanks to Thomann.de for this. Those who will buy products from Türkiye can buy without hesitation.
I was very satisfied with the first day's experience of the AKG K371 product, which I decided to take as a result of long research. I bought it for use in my home studio music production process and had watched many reviews and comparison videos to make a right purchase. I went back and forth between the newly released Rode NTH 100 and this product.
The AKG K371, which has been used for a long time and especially praised for its sound quality, made me decide. I was very pleased with the fact that it is very light, has sufficient quality for its price, and the wide feel it offers. I may write a review for long-term use in a few months.Thanks.

I recently acquired the AKG K-371over ear headphones, driven by the need for low impedance monitoring capabilities for my Dirtywave M8 tracker, and a fortuitous discovery of a reduced price. These headphones have swiftly ascended to the pinnacle of my audio arsenal, earning the title of my new favorite.

The folding mechanism is a testament to ingenious design, providing practicality for storage within my backpack – a boon for those on the go. In the accessory department, the inclusion of three cables enhances the product's versatility.

Sonically, the AKG K-371 delivers clear and neutral audio, to my ears atleast, maintaining a balanced profile that befits various listening preferences. The sound quality, while not overly embellished, ensures a reliable and accurate representation of audio sources.

Comfort reigns supreme with these headphones, standing tall as the most comfortable pair I've had the pleasure of wearing. The ergonomic design and soft materials contribute to extended listening sessions without fatigue.

In conclusion, the AKG K-371over ear headphones marry functionality, versatility, and comfort in a harmonious symphony. For those seeking a professional-grade audio companion, these headphones effortlessly strike the right chords.

I've been reading about these headphones a lot and decided to try them because of their "Harman curve". I was very pleased with them, they sound great and are actually surprisingly "neutral". I have used them for producing music and for just listening to music and they worked great for both.

The only slight minus is that they are very close to the ears and if you have big ears like me, then you will be touching the insides at times. But it's a really minor thing, otherwise they are very comfortable, the pads feel very nice on the head.

Overall, well worth the money!
