Just got my replacement K371-BT, for reference bought my first set in July last year. These new ones have a much stiffer (in a good way) folding mechanism, plus the power button isn't loose, I never had problems with both of those aspects in my old set, but it's noticeably different on these. Other than that, these are much more stable on my head, not sure if that's just because it's brand new, but all the same, these feel much nicer to use.

Hi,

Just wondering, does anybody have ear fatigue with K371?

I have been using them for a couple of weeks now and I can't say that I found something fatiguing.

I borrowed them from a friend. Like them a lot and I ordered one for myself. But my ears hurt a little after listening to them. Maybe I was listening to loud I don't know. Maybe it's my imagination but mine seems more neutral. The one I borrowed from a friend seems warmer.

There is indeed some cup reverberation but I didn't find it annoying.
It is Harman curve so I wouldn't categorize it as neutral.

I also watched a movie the other night, normal listening level, my ears were got after the movie. Bothered me a little. Besides that the sound is fantastic!

Strange as there are no severe peaks to cause fatigue.
But sometimes I find closed headphones fatiguing despite the tuning.

I have NAD Viso HP50, never had any fatigue. I find the K371 better sounding headphones but my ears are hot after I listen do them. Why? I have no idea.

I bought HD6xx recently, and I could listen to them loud as i wan't, no fatigue.

I feel like people finding these cans a little "fatiguing" due to the slightly elevated sub-bass, personally I myself never found these fatiguing and in fact slightly more on the warmer side. My K361's on the other hand has a brighter, crunchier sound...

both of the AKG models I had my ears would easily get hot in them, especially during the summer Time and I probably attribute that to the type of padding being used

For very long music listening, will hd 560s defeat this k731? Any thoughts? Which is better?

By what criteria?
Comfort?
Tuning and sound fatigue?

I've got both, HD560s are more comfortable when it's hotter, as K371 pads can get a bit sweaty, but other than that they are both reasonably similar comfort wise, both comfortable but have similar comfort issues (shallow pads means your ears touch the driver).

How about sound quality? Who has much better audio quality between the two? Which do you enjoy more when listening to music?

Both!
