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

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.

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.

I love the seal on them. It helps me to eliminate outside noise and focus on the audio.The headphones are very comfortable and the sound profile is great!

great sound and value, i like the choice of shot and long cords

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.

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.

The sound is good, but the cord and ear pads fall apart very quickly, within a few months of daily light use. They are essentially junk and not worth the money.
