Analysis:

The AKG K371 was loved by reviewers at SoundGuys, a highly trusted source that performs reliable in-depth testing. It did great in its "Best gaming headphones" roundup where it was named its "Ranked 2 out of 5", which, in itself, makes it a product worth considering.

Taking a look at the Sony MDR-1AM2, it got featured in roundups from two reliable sources that conduct their own testing - hardwarezone.com.sg and Head-fi - but it fell short of earning a top spot in either.

Out of all the sources that reviewed them, the AKG K371 turned out to be most loved by Head-fi, which gave it a score of 9, whereas the Sony MDR-1AM2 got its highest, 8, rating from reviewers at musicphotolife.com.

Finally, we also compared their review scores to the rest of their competition - the AKG K371 earned an average review score of 8.3 out of 10 points and the Sony MDR-1AM2 received an average of 7.7, compared to the 7.5 average of Over-Ear Headphones in general.
