What reviewers say
Reviewers agree the K371 sounds excellent for its price, with a well-judged tuning that Audio Science Review and SoundGuys found close to their targets, and SoundGuys found it comfortable even with glasses. What Hi-Fi? heard weighty but imprecise bass while SoundStage! Solo found it less full than some prefer; Audio Science Review warns it may get hot and the adjustment mechanism may annoy.
