You are going to notice a nice step up in sound quality and clarity. Probably a bit less bass but not by much especially if you drive the K371 with a strong source. AKG K371 is an excellent headphone and very comfortable too. Make sure to handle it with care though as they have been known to snap if not handled properly.

Just broke mine while putting these on my not enormously large head - that headband is not designed to last! But otherwise very capable headphones in their price range, so agree in full with your pitch.

I would say that it’s probably only true for the very early batches. My first pair had a driver failure but my replacement has had no issues despite treating them a bit roughly. But I don’t get the issues with the headband snapping, I doubt it’ll happen with daily use unless you purposely try to break it. The main issue is probably with the earlier batches having loose hinges which is what many reviewers have pointed out and I also experienced it with my first pair.
