Our Verdict

Audio-Technica ATH-M50x

AKG K371

The AKG K371 are better over-ear studio headphones than the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x unless you want a bit more punch in the bass. The AKG have fewer peaks and dips with a slightly more balanced sound profile, which works if you're producing audio. On the other hand, the Audio-Technica have a more stable fit, and their frequency response is more consistent among users.
