Nowadays known as “that brand Samsung likes to slap on cheap earbuds” used to make good microphones and headphones. Now they make mostly okay mics and headphones.
This is the general thread for them…

Thinking about buying K371 for travel and portable use on the go. Might use for studying in spaces where outside noises are bothersome. I thought they might be decent all-rounders because of the Harman tuning (I personally like harman), but I did see a lot of youtube reviewers said the quality control was bad and they had to get several pairs before getting a good pair. Does anyone know if this is still an issue or has it been mostly resolved now?
Edit: I thought about the Focal Elegia but since I mainly listen to higher energy stuff like metal and bass-heavy electronic I figured these would fit that role more. Unless someone else thinks there is another competitor at this price point (K371 are on sale on amazon for $145 USD currently.).
Not at the same price level as the K371 but closer to the Elegia in price, I just bought an ETA semi-closed for travel and OTG. It’s very light and folds too, which makes it easy to throw into a backpack compartment.

I mean for slapping on cheap earbuds they do slap the name on some quality products not gonna lie I’ve been daily driving their tws iems for like 2 years now and gotta say after lightly eq’ng them with some software they sound great and have been fairly reliable while I work.

Those do look nice. I would be looking for something that is full closed-back with good isolation and comfort though.
Yeah I would do IEMs if I could but I have just never been able to get them to fit in my left ear. It’s got a weird shape.
