Hifiman Ananda Headphones vs AKG K371 Headphones

But anyway, this one looks a lot like an HE1000 and it kind of looks like an HE1000V2 and it even has a certain look of a Hi-Fi Man Sazvera and the Hi...

Translating this to my experience with the K371, it meant that I had no issues properly driving it with everything that I tested it on. Whether it was...

The headband fit is secure and also quite comfortable, with a thin leather strap that rests atop your head while the matte black band rises over the top, never making contact with you.

And maybe then I'll be able to settle on this because really the build, the comfort, that was number one and then the sound for just, oh, when it's pe...

I have higher expectations for headphones that is a quarter of the Ananda’s price. (One can study apple or oneplus's packaging) Even the fancy leather looking box is poorly designed. It’s useless after you take out the headphone. While the box looks big, it is a tight fit

Larger heads/ears may find them uncomfortable. I wish the headband were grippier. It has that smooth silicone-esque feel that several brands have adopted in recent years, which makes it feel much less secure than a nice pleather pad. I wouldn’t do a ton of head-bobbing in these

Anyway, this isn't a streaming review. Point is you absolutely have to drive these with good quality sources. I read a ton of reviews before buying these and saw people saying you could drive these with a phone. Well, you can, I guess, but probably shouldn't

It's been six months since I got my AKG K371 headphones. Well, six months since I got a pair that wasn't damaged or faulty out of the factory. Now, ma...

Ananda might be the best headphone for the money today. At this price, they outperform anything else I’ve tried under $1000. I previously owned the “bigger brother,” HiFiMan Arya and a number of other dynamic driver headphones (Focal Elex, Focal Clear, HD800, HD650/6XX, HD58X, Fidelio X2). I’ve since sold everything else including various amps in the $200-500 range

I was talking with a friend and lifted the ear cups a bit while talking and was surprised to hear how loud I was speaking because I wasn't able to hear myself well. I was hoping to like these as I prefer a more neutral sound, which these give, but for the price I think there is probably better out there. For what you get, I feel like these should be more in the $40-$70 range rather than +$100. They would probably be good for studio use; how they are intended, but the comfort level makes them less appealing
