AKG Pro Audio K361 Wired, Over-Ear, Closed-Back, Light Weight, Foldable, Professional Recording Studio Headphones, Studio Monitor Mixing, Podcast, DJ Stereo Headsets, Black

I really like these. But you have to judge what you like, not what I like. :-) I tried the K371's 1st, in that I also have the K553 Pro's. I really like the K553, but they could use a little more low end. The K371 went too far, imo, I *tried* to like them, but I got a headache from the low end every time I tried. Now, I also like the Beyer DT770 Pro 80 ohm, the Thinksound ON2, the Senn 569, the Meze 99 Noir, and the M40x. I do not like the M50x though. Too bassy for me, and I didn't like the extreme clamping force either. By now you should get the idea that price is not an issue. I'm solely a sound quality/tonality guy. Oh, also didn't the like V6/7506, not enough low end for those. So I find the K361 preferable to the K371 because I feel they have a much more balanced sound signature. Comfort is great, I wore them for maybe 3 or 4 hrs today.

For only 100 bucks this pair of headphones are fantastic, as it sounds better than my Buds Pro and is way more comfortable. Sadly it feels slightly uncomfortable on my ears, but I can still wear it for many hours. I recommend using an equalizer to get the most out of this headphone.

Good headphones. Received them in very good quality. Headphones feel nice but do squeeze and feel uncomfortable after about an hour. Earcups are also fairly shallow resulting in your ears touching the driver which adds to the discomfort. Sound is good. Very mid focused. Very recessed top end. Results in a similar sound to the HD650 but much more exaggerated in terms of the "veil" they display. Still a good sound. Mostly follow the Harman target and as a result can sound harsh to some but mostly laid back. The headphones are also very sensitive and can take plenty of EQ without a lot of power as a result. Very good for the price and nice as a closed back to accompany my openbacks.

So far the K361 are my favorite headphones. I used them every day at my computer since July, 2021. They broke on me twice but customer care has been fantastic so far. The first time the wire became frayed and eventually failed after around 6 months of use. I called support and they sent me a new cord for free because it was under warranty. Around the 11 month mark the plastic on the ears started to wear off and eventually the foam ear fell off making them unusable. I sent them in for repair and I'm still waiting for them to be returned. The support team has been in contact with me and is sending me a new set. I will update when the replacement arrives but the customer service I have received so far has convinced me that the new headphones are going to be great. I would highly recommend the K361. Comfortable, great sound, folds easily, the only downside is that the 3.5mm cable is not interchangeable, it has a special plastic clip that keeps it in the phone so you can't just use any 3.5mm cable if it frays. Have to buy the special one only they sell.

Material quality and comfort are great. It's very light weight. I'm one to watch many reviews prior to purchasing, but if you're reading this trying to get clues about the sound quality then allow me to prepare you - the bass is pretty mild if you're looking for some heavy bass listening. The K371 has more bass to give you that low end punch. I for once prefer the cleaner and more balanced sound since I have a variety of cans. The midrange and high frequencies are very subjective to taste, so I won't bother and all I'll say is it's rather balanced for most, no peaks or weird areas in the frequency range.

The sound is exactly what I expected. Clear, but with a slight bias in the mids. I EQ’d to taste and eventually came up with sound I was very happy with. Was very easy to EQ, much less fussing around compared to my DT770s for example. Now onto the construction. The quality of materials is terrible. I know the model above this has more metal and stronger build, but for this price, it’s garbage. Awful design. The headband is the most uncomfortable I’ve ever felt in a headphone. I can always feel it and it’s uncomfortable after long sessions. I constantly find myself readjusting this headset and can’t get it comfortable. Compared to the DT770 for example, this feels very cheap and uncomfortable. The ear pads are abysmal. They’re thin and even though I have small ears, my ears scratch the driver inside. This makes it impossible to enjoy wearing for long sessions. I tried replacing the stock pads with some thicker pads with velour, and that still isn’t enough to save this headset. Terrible. At least the isolation is decent for how low profile it is. I’m a little concerned about the longevity. The quality just seems so poor. I could see the headband peeling or other pieces becoming lose. AKG has really lost their way after being bought out. The sound quality is still there, but the build is just poor. To summarize, awful quality and comfort. Feels like it should be $20. Sound quality however is what I expected, but not enough to make me want to keep these. Terrible product. I’d give 2 stars, but 3 seems fair since this is subjective. I’ve heard others claim these are the most comfortable headset ever which is insane to me.

These headphones are built absolutely fine. Nothing crazy but they are adequate, and their ability to fold is really nice. The sound quality is great. They are maybe a bit leaning towards analytical as I could do with more bass by default but vocal clarity is on point. They can slam a bit so it's more a preference than something I find objectively wrong with their sound signature. That's all there really is to it - they are built decent and sound clear while being just fun enough to not be overly analytical. Probably the cans to beat at $100 or so. I'm not disappointed at all in the purchase.

I've had these headphones for 3 years, and they still hold up, although I always noticed that one side was slightly louder than the other presumably due to sealing issues. I'm not an expert audiophile, but they have great sound. If you've never tried anything remotely audiophile-grade, they will probably blow you away. They can get a bit uncomfortable if you use them for long periods, especially on the top of the head.

suenan muy bien y la durabilidad es buena , me llego bién

This headset is great, super comfortable because it is very light, the sound signature is exactly what I like. The best headset at this price if you enjoy a balanced sound signature from your headphones!

Ho avuto il piacere di testare questa soluzione recentemente e devo dire che le mie aspettative sono state ampiamente superate. Fin dal primo momento, si percepisce chiaramente l'attenzione ai dettagli e la cura riposta nella realizzazione, elementi che oggi non sono affatto scontati.

Un investimento sicuro di cui sono pienamente soddisfatto."

Alright, for those of you all who are wondering if you should just splurge the extra little bit take the 371's instead, or heck, even the wireless ones, DON'T. This has the more appealing sound signature of the two, even if it feels cheaper than the other one. that does in no way mean that this feels cheap by itself though, it has a solid construction and works well. It's also much better than the wireless one, simply because its lighter. if you want to spend 10k on some audio gear then go ahead and get a good set of Chi-Fi IEM's instead, or take these and a set of Koss-kph30i's, which are my default recommendation for cheap headphones. And please, for the love of all things holy, do not take the audio technica's. They're over recommended piles of hot garbage, yes I said that and you should too. Here's some advice I'd give if you just bought these headphones, a) Burn-in: My set sounded just like a normal set of random headphones and didn't really open up until it had about 30 hours of burn-in, and it didn't't really sounds as advertised by the harman curve until it actually had 50 hours of burn in. Now though, it sounds much better. b) The pads: The pads themselves are great, but something to be wary of is the face that the actual padding underneath the photo-leatherish texture (it has leather texturing, even if it doesn't feel like it) isn't thick enough to prevent it from entirely touching the tips of your ears (its an annoying caveat until you get used to it), but a hack that I used that worked superbly with this was that I had an old set of earpads lying about from when I had swapped my Bose QC-35's, since the cloth around those pads began to come off and it left the green foam within it very exposed. I took out the foam from the QC's, simply because the pad shape is the exact same as this, its just that those pads are angled, while this has very little in the form of side to side angling. so what you can do is this, since the pads on this are swappable, by virtue of the way AKG created the pads, you can expose the foam on purpose of these pads, by simply pulling the pad covers out from behind the metal plate, without actually destroying the pads. its easy enough to put back as well, just takes like 30 seconds. when you have the foam exposed, simply lie the green foam from the QC on top of it and then cover it back up with the cloth, with 2 pieces of foam per pad now. I know this changed my sounds signature by a fair bit, but I think I prefer the sound now than what I had earlier. Pros: Sound: Great if you burn it in and do the pad swap I recommended, still good with the normal pad swap and after a burn in, but I prefer the pad swapped sound signature. Everything in the box: Its 5000 rupees, that's incredible, they give you an actually well built headphone, 2 cables (2!!!) one long one and a short one, you get a screw on 3.5mm to quarter inch adapter and you also get a carry on bag (which is much better than I expected, although I haven't found much use for it considering I just leave these out on a headphone stand to listen to from time to time.) Headband: Its silicon and has this strange smooth texture that feels great. you can kind of feel the wire passing through it if you press the silicon hard enough and the silicon feels much thinner when you actually press it, but on wearing the headphone you realize that the silicon that they added, as well as the air cushioning under it is just right so keep the weight distributed evenly, taking away much of the force around your ears while still letting them clamp well, (I'd say I have fairly large ears and a slightly larger than normal sized head.) Pad Size: While not as deep as I would prefer, given that my ears barely touch the tip of the plate that covers the driver, the pads themselves are more than adequate. They happen to be a solid 3 and a half knuckles on my hand, which is larger than anyone I know, which means that for most people, it'll be at least a loose four knuckle Cons: It has only one con per se, and that's only because it was designed too well, the hinge mechanism around the ear cups, which make it swivel are of that cool, semi-gimmicky style of freely movable and a 360 degree hinge, which admittedly works great on certain headphones, especially for small adjustments, but those headphones all have something that this one doesn't: Angled Pads! This headphone does not happen to have any angled pads, thereby making this over-engineered free floating hinge not enough to actually angle the ear cups so the headphone sits with the drivers positioned towards my ears. This does not take away from comfort though, still very comfortable after your ears adjust a little. So in conclusion, I can only say that you should give this a shot, great pruduct at an amazing price and completely worth all the money you pay for it. Can't think of any other headphone that really competes with it at this price range other than the Koss kph-30i's, which sound beyond incredible for all their terrible build quality, looking like a cheap set of headphones from a library in the 1980's.

Excellent sound and the round ear style is comfortable.
