Our Verdict

Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO

AKG K371

Choosing between the Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO and the AKG K371 depends on the sound profile you prefer. The Beyerdynamic are tuned with de-emphasized bass and an exaggerated treble, while the AKG offer more low-end and a more even treble. The Beyerdynamic have a more stable fit and feel more durable, with a tighter L/R stereo mismatch. The AKG's sound profile is smoother, but their fit is a bit more prone to inconsistencies between wearers. To their credit, the AKG leak considerably less audio.
