I listened to a lot of hip-hop and R&B due to the bass, and the vocals just comes too forward to the point of causing a bit of annoyance. It's with a lot of popular music with vocals, but I admit instrumentals do pop forward as well and helps with imaging (which is quite good), but could be a bit much.I’ve realized by this point that just about every headphone (especially closed back) has some flaws, but the K371 has probably among the least out of the closed backs I’ve tried which is pretty amazing considering the price. The only one that does better is the EMU Ebony for me but some don’t consider that a closed headphone. But I am with you in that the one issue, for me, is the upper midrange being a bit too hot, on some music at least. Surely mastering comes into play because I’ve only found a few instances where it somewhat bothered me.
At this point, I've been though a lot of headphones, and it's more about refining what I want so I'm probably being picky. You are right, it does perform well for the most part, but I also know I want something that is better for my ear health and sounds good.
