Review on AKG K361BT Bluetooth Studio Headphones - Over-Ear, Closed-Back, and Foldable by Pin Mu Lin ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I can't stop being happy with the purchase, a very good deal!

I bought at a discount for 4200r on Ali and it seems to me that for this money, the headphones are more than worthy. Both by wire and through BT sound like a reference, especially after I removed all these unnecessary sound barriers in the form of nets and pieces of paper. I also added cotton wool in the cavity under the speakers, so that with an increase in volume, to shift the bass peak lower. Bottoms have become softer. Perhaps it makes sense to somehow test these ears and pick up pieces of paper more accurately so that the high ones do not cut and stick out, but it all depends on the sound source and the listening material. What I listen to is very different in quality and something on the contrary plays more interesting in these headphones than on studio monitors. For other cases, there is an equalizer. Make a profile under the ears and forget. In general, I like the way the vocals sound, the saxophone, that the stage is not crushed in depth, the intelligibility is good (not ideal, of course) and the detailing. At the same time, good bottoms allow you to listen to electronic music, but there is often too much treble and it may no longer be comfortable. I listened to a lot of different headphones when I chose wired ones and then settled on Hi Res fitips and Panasonic 130. Philips are quite reference ones, the stage is a little further away, panas, on the contrary, bring them closer and the vocals are more interesting with them. Here are the 361s, they are somehow in the middle and more low-profile. I tried to order ear pads on Ali, they arrived a little larger, they are not suitable for 361. It was written that for 361 and 371. I will get used to my relatives. In the summer in the heat it will not be very comfortable, as I see it. It seems to me that the 361s have good potential in terms of improvements and, in general, pull up to a confident average level. Someone will not have enough detail and evenness of the frequency response, but this is if you find fault. If they are not worn in the cold, the bindings may live longer.

Pros
  • Good sound, pleasant to the touch, do not absorb moisture, calm design and color scheme, do not attract too much attention. Two cords included.
Cons
  • The plastic construction is not reliable, judging by the reviews, it breaks. Sometimes you want more breathable ear pads, especially for the home. A strange topic with sticking pieces of paper on the speaker to adjust the frequency response, in addition to the mesh, which is also pasted and plus there is a mesh of ear pads.
