Msr7b's drivers are angled and outer edges of the ear are in contact with the driver cover but never feels uncomfortable.
K371's on the other hand have a bit a larger earpads compared to MSR7b's but due to non angled drivers(flat) and too soft cushion of the earpads of k371 you feel some some pressure on ears with a bit larger portion of ear in contact with driver cover. The clamping force of k371 is a bit strong compared MSR7b's.
Weight distribution of k371 is not so good when compared to MSR7B as most of the weight of K371 is concentrated on the earcups with aluminium sliders and rest of headband feels pretty light.
Cheers again, so glad I double-checked this point it's that outer edges that I would struggle with. I currently have akg K550 rev 3, but I currently use brainwavz k550 large sheepskin pads and my ears do not remotely touch the driver so my ears can breathe a bit, will look into brainwavz or other pad replacements for the MSR7Bs.
