I wanted to love the K371s but the more time I spend with them the more I think about selling them. It's not so much about the time you have to spend every time you put them on finding that 'sweet spot' or the build quality -which I don't have a problem with- but how the sound is refined/accurate/flat/perfect in an apathetic, indifferent way which leaves me cold listening to songs/albums that would normally hit me like a train. It is as if the k371s coloured the sound to the same boring tone, killing every sign of personality or soul in the music leaving you puzzled, wondering why you fell in love with that tune in the first place.
My love for the Yamaha HPH-MT220 (with Brainwavz Oval Pads) is even greater now because they are also analytical, revealing, 'accurate' but they give me goosebumps every time I put them on with the way they present the energy, dynamics, details in the music and the recording/mix, respecting the source, immersing you in the music to give you a unique experience every time you use them. They also have a depth that the k371s lack and are not forgiving at all with poorly mixed/mastered music, giving you any tiny nuance.
Maybe it is just that the Harman curve is not for me or maybe I am just a MT220 fanboy
My desert island closed-back headphone and a very underrated one.
