Sennheiser HD 280 Pro 2016
AKG K371
The AKG K371 and Sennheiser HD 280 PRO 2016 are both closed-back headphones designed for professional applications. They have a similar build quality, with lots of plastic used in the construction, and they both struggle to deliver audio consistently between different listening sessions. However, the AKG are more comfortable to wear for long periods. Both sound profiles offer a balanced bass and mid-range, but the AKG perform much better regarding treble accuracy. Otherwise, there's not much to split the two as they provide similar levels of noise isolation and offer a comparable passive soundstage performance.
