>I went to a music store a couple days back and got myself the AKG K371. At the store they had it for demo and it does sounds pretty nice on their demo but I wasn't really doing any critical listening and it's probably had a very EQ-ed song

I'm wondering if they silently changed the pad design or something, to address the complaints about the seal

While it's got that Harman bass shelf, boomy is not how I'd describe it (on the rare occasion I can get a good enough seal to not leak out all the subbass), certainly nowhere near the XM3's. I got my pair at Guitar Center and they sound like the demo units I listened to.

That's exactly where I tried them and got them, Guitar Center. They had Uptown Funk on it and it sounds incredible. In term of seals, I didn't notice anything off from a 3 hours practice session I was having with my bass guitar. It got a bit hot but it's not bad at all. I did had to adjust a lot of my stuff on the bass VS the settings I had using other cans to practice.
