Nope. The latest Harman target jest ain’t ma thang. But if it were it’s always just an EQ change away.

OTOH, I could always cover a cardboard box with marble-pattern shelf paper, put my laptop inside, run the K371’s cable through a hole in the box and tell people they’re listening to a $70K Orpheus headphone…

Well, I would say anyone who has experience with even decent headphones wouldn’t believe that lol, but it would be very fun to do to uninformed

What? You own the K371 and you’ve heard the Orpheus. You tellin’ me there’s an actual difference? The king really has new clothes, lol? Ya gotta be kidding, grin.

Lol, idk, I’m sure someone would fall for it eventually

how do these compare to a Sennheiser HD650?

The k371 is pretty much a perfect
harman target signature so the bass and treble are more elevated whereas the hd650 is mid forward and dark… quite different but both really nice

Can it keep up in detail, resolution, soundstage and imaging with the HD650? Or is it a class lower like HD58x?

its a tier under the hd650 in terms of technicalities imo… soundstage is about the same though

How about the sound leakage? Would others hear what I am hearing? And would I sweat in these? (not doing any sports, just studying)

When you search for graphs on google images just to find your own shitty photoshop-clone jobs on your favorite forum. :stuck_out_tongue:

Looks like I completely forgot to answer you. Turns out that, since then, I got HD58Xs and realized these were too bright for me, same for KZ ZS10 Pros, but my old HD280 Pros were just perfect for me – and were basically harman without 10khz+ treble. So buying K371s or K361s, for me, with all the random peaks above 10khz, would be a coin toss.

As much as I love 10khz treble and ā€œairā€, I’ll enjoy it on my Fluance SX6s and other future speakers, but now I avoid ā€œneutral to 20khzā€ headphones.

Also, for info, there’s now the AKG 361-BT and AKG 371-BT, and these do not use DSP (that would be stupid for something advertised as harman-tuned and studio-ready, too).

Anyway, bluetooth without DSP is rare and… under appreciated. That’s nice to see (and hear).

So… that’s the cheap version of Drop Pandas. :stuck_out_tongue: BT5.0 but no AptX/LDAC/whatever, as far as I know.

Just got them today I’m fkin shocked, I feel bad about my HD 598sr now.
The sound is so good the vocals it’s so fkin close to the real sound I’m speechless and even tho they have pretty 0 bass they still sound very good with edm music.
Not more comfortable than the hm751 tho not even close.
I feel sad that I’m gonna give them back at some point cuz I’m gonna pick up the COPP cuz I need some bass monsters.
And they sound so gawd damn good from my phone to JEZUZ
I feel like I can’t go back like Z said it’s like that time morty was on a perfectly flat thing and he couldn’t go back anymore.

Spot on, a great companion though

Yeah definitely agree there… glad you’re liking them… I still think they’re the most comfortable headphone i’ve worn too

Found new graphs. There’s a ton of comparisons too. Against Beyers, Nad HP50, etc.

Yessss thank you thank you

Hi, my review of the AKG K371 is here: https://1drv.ms/w/s!As-gJ-WlszWtgYhyEc5BNWpwr80C8g?e=lwlfAG

So, just getting around to trying these after trying a bunch of closed backs for around $100. I think these probably take it for me. I think I might even like them more than my Elegia… I don’t feel like they are super comfortable though. Does the clamp let up? You guys bend them out?

I recall the clamp easing up some. I wouldn’t recommend bending it but rather let it stretch out overnight on bunch of books or a speaker or something. Nice headphones for sure :+1:
