AKG K371 — Closed-Back Studio Headphones Tuned to the Harman Target

The AKG K371 is a closed-back studio headphone built around AKG's Reference Response Acoustics, the tuning derived from Harman's decade-long research into the headphone frequency response most listeners prefer. Its neutral, balanced sound translates reliably across genres, making this model a practical choice for mixing, podcasting, and critical home listening. The closed-back, oval over-ear design isolates the listener from outside noise.

What Sets the K371 Apart in Its Class

Inside each earcup sits a 50 mm dynamic driver with a titanium-coated diaphragm and a pure OFC voice coil — a combination AKG describes as the largest in its class. Slow-retention foam earpads reduce low-frequency leakage while staying comfortable across long sessions, and the headband is metal-reinforced for daily studio use. Three detachable cables ship in the box, including a coiled 3 m run, two straight cables (1.2 m and 3 m), and a 3.5 mm to 6.35 mm adapter.

Driver, Frequency Range, and Sensitivity — Specs That Shape the Sound

Numbers like 5 Hz – 40 kHz frequency response and 114 dB sensitivity show why the K371 is so versatile — extended frequency response, easy drivability, and a lightweight build that keeps fatigue at bay during long sessions.

• Construction: Closed-back, oval over-ear — passive isolation with minimal leakage
• Comfort remains consistent even in long studio work, as the slow-retention foam and sturdy headband support extended use.
• Frequency Response: 5 Hz – 40 kHz — extended sub-bass and airy highs
• Impedance: 32 Ω — pairs directly with laptops, phones, and audio interfaces
• Sensitivity: 114 dB SPL/V @ 1 kHz — reaches comfortable volume without an amp
• Weight: 255 g — light enough for all-day wear

Built for Producers, Engineers, and Mobile Creators

Designed for studio engineers, podcasters, and content creators, this model provides accurate, balanced monitoring without flagship pricing. Musicians tracking in a home studio benefit from the closed-back isolation and the wide frequency response that captures both sub-bass rumble and high-frequency detail. Mobile producers will appreciate the 255 g weight, foldable hinges, and the included carrying pouch. Because the K371 lacks a built-in microphone and active noise cancellation, it suits dedicated listening and monitoring tasks rather than commuter or call-heavy workflows.

AKG and the Harman Curve Heritage

AKG's Reference Response Acoustics tuning reflects the brand's professional studio heritage, and the target curve was developed by Harman International, AKG's parent company, after years of listener research into the frequency response the majority of headphone users find most natural. Forbes described the K371 as "probably the best-balanced sound I've heard almost at any price."
