I think the M50x hasn't been bought from an informed perspective on the sound for a long long time, most of it's just word of mouth and the styling IME. That headphone is kind of the Beats for people who think they know better than to buy Beats/the next step up from a Razer gaming headset, for many.

@@JennyDarukat you think wrong... The m50x are still good headphones.

@@Mask242 they sure are.... doesn't defeat the fact that they are kinda overrated

I might take you up on that.

How are the K553 compared to the 371s? I have the 371s and thinking about taking them back for the 553s for mixing and mastering hip hop beats. What do you think?

I don't have any complaints with the stock cable personally but it's to good know those works, thanks for sharing. 👍

ya skirt. no. the sennheiser momentum’s use a 2.5mm slimmer connector hence why it works on the k361 but the k361 cable is too fat to work on the momentums

I just bought K371 but during my search, i also thought MSR7. I read that MSR7 has some sibilance or unnatural treble failures sometimes and comfort issues a little bit so i choose K371. Before i bought it, MSR7B has released and i read that this new model has no comfort and unnatural treble issues so far. I really wondered this headphone but in this web world, nobody has reviewed this headphone yet. This headphone is a little bir pricier than K371. Since there is no review, i do not want to risk my money and i choose K371 and i am happy with that so much. Nice to hear that you liked that also. By the way, i would like to say thanks to headphone reviewers esp. Tyll, Metal571, Oluv, Wheezy Reviews, Max Settings, Zeos, Joshua Valour, damir franc (nitpicker), DMS, Alex Rowe, totallydubbedHD, lachlanlikesathing, minidisc and the others who try to make honest reviews and give valuable info to consumers and producers for choosing the right music gear. I am just in the beginning at this hobby and will follow all of them. Many of us cannot try these headphones before buy and these honest reviews help us to make a true decision.

@@erestortatum , I'd like to join in thanking the referred reviewers, and yes, I owned the MSR7 (not B) and although it was a nice hp suffered of some issues in terms of treble and comfort, but the new B version has overcome these problems big time. also, when listening in balanced mode it's ulteriorly consolidated.

So in short, how does the akg k371 compare/differ from the MSR7B ?

Interestingly CAL is hovering around $49 now on Amazon US. At that price I think it still makes a lot of sense, but definitely go K361 still if you can afford it lol

@@metal571 Yea I'm being harsh. I already have CAL and I love it. Will probably pick up one of these, but doubt I'll sell my CAL. Appreciate you pointing that out since someone could have been misguided by that. CAL is still good people!

@@metal571 Hey man, can we still expect your review on the K361 or are you done for good ? 😓 Thanks for all and happy holidays!

I agree, perhaps inexpensive but cheap just doesn't make sense, it makes one wonder where diminishing return starts.

shoot mids? What do you mean?

@@bluefilmsltd It's a typo, I meant shouty mids, ie aggressive and piercing

@@HeliBenj Oh I see. Do you think that's a fault within the unit itself or part of AKG K371's sound signature??

@@bluefilmsltd I think its their nature, even when I got a good seal the mids were like that, and maybe I'm overly sensitive to these frequency, although thats the first HP that bothered me in that department. IMO these are overhyped, just like many new headphones that push heavy YT review campaigns...

@@HeliBenj Very useful reply, thanks mate.

That is not correct actually. I had this discussion with Sean Olive a couple weeks ago. Harman target started off trying to replicate flat speakers in a room, however over time the target did turn into a preference curve. Listeners were given the target which was replicating speakers and were allowed to boost the treble and the bass how they wanted to, and then those results are averaged out to the modern Harman target.

@@maxsettings7884 I thought Sean said that listeners barely touched the treble on average.

@Gabriel Martins i havent tried the k371's so no idea sorry, i would get the Takstar pro 82's though they sound better fit better and a way cheaper

Anton Zinn yes this is one of the better options in that price range

It is

361 have a big treble spike at around 8khz that must be eq'd down by about 35% in order to fix the hollow bass+mids problem

Hd660s

very good

@@mikelisteral7863 are these neutral? How do they compare to m40x overall

@@samarthrao2044 eq the 8khz down by 35% in the 361 and they are neutral. the 371 have a bit more bass i think but i never tried them. i sold my 361, i would not buy them again. they are designed for bigger ears too and i have smaller ears. if i had bigger ears and bigger head i might try the 371

@@mikelisteral7863 my k361s are on the way and I recently returned the m40x because they lacked clarity and were hella uncomfortable, I have heard only good things bout k361s except the qc issues, why did you return your k361s??

These without question.

@@maxsettings7884 what headphones do you like for bass besides cal?

Ask for a replacement model

Tape. Set them where you want when you wear them, then tape just below that. Do it it on both sides for aesthetic symmetry. Black electrical tape would do it.
