Akg K371 Over-Ear Oval Closed-Back Studio Headphones

The AKG K371 have a well-balanced and neutral sound profile. Their bass and mid ranges are both remarkably accurate, and their treble range only has a few minor peaks and dips which likely won't be audible to most people.

  Very unstable and prone to falling off., Poor noise isolation.

The AKG K52 over-ear, closed-back headphones provide the perfect combination of sound quality, comfort and durability. Professional drivers deliver solid bass, well-defined mids and clear highs so you can hear exactly what’s happening.

The first AKG headphones came on the market in 1949. Since then, they have had a legacy of high quality products. Their headphones and microphones were used on tour and in recording sessions for artists ranging from Frank Sinatra to The Rolling Stones to Kanye.

After three new additions to their 2x series ( K175 , 245 , and 275 ), AKG by Harman have added two new releases to their series of three – the K371 and 361.

Let's not forget that the K371 costs under £140. It has more bass and less treble than I prefer, but Harman's research shows that this is a tonal balance that many listeners like – maybe you're one.

AKG is a well-known brand in the audio circle owned by Harman Kardon, now owned by Samsung . The K52 ’s are relatively new headphones launched at the beginning of this year. Having heard these briefly before, I was quite eager to review these thoroughly.

A comfortable, enjoyable pair of over-ear cans – and possibly the best budget headphones we've ever tested Clear and airy presentation Evenly balanced sound Agile rhythm Durable, comfortable wear Well built Appealing price Nothing at this price

Don't expect amazing sound quality at this price, but they sound "okay." The real strength of these headphones is how comfortable they are - fit nicely around the ear, soft pads, and an inoffensive sound quality make these ideal for their price point. Time will tell how long they last.

Comfortable and lightweight, accurate if a little bass light. For budget and performance they are a no brainer! Although I can't speak for longevity as I've only been recording with them for under a week I've suffered no headphone fatigue. Basically buy them put them on and forget about them.
