About this deal

In terms of weight, the K361 retains its superiority though that doesn't make the Bluetooth version heavy as it is also pretty light. In our tests, it turned out that our 2019 Apple MacBook Pro communicated just fine with the K361-BT over AAC, although with a noticeable deficit in quality when compared with the sound achieved when used with one of the supplied cables. Why the more universally-supported, higher quality aptX codec is not included as an option seems strange to us. The K361-BT model is a Bluetooth-equipped version of AKG’s standard, cabled K361 closed-back studio headphone .

The draw of wireless listening is a big plus if you’re prepared to overlook the compromise in sound quality. One thing I did love about the Cherry Atticus was it's lush colouration through the mid range, it gave me Sony R10 vibes.

In Sia’s Chandelier, meanwhile, the intentional compression, noise and grainy texture that helps dirty up Sia’s range later on is revealed, as the K371-BT continue to dig up more detail than you’d expect for the money. The headphone was released together with its counterpart, the AKG K371, and even though AKG has now gone further to delivering a kind of upgrade to both devices by launching Bluetooth enabled versions, the wired K361 and K371 do pretty well and manage to hold their own when compared with several other headphones.

The headphones sometimes slowly slip off my head toward the back, nothing a quick adjust doesnt fix but I do feel them slowly crawling off sometimes. The headphone comes with two cables, a short and long one, and well, the long one surely helps to ensure you can move around, to some extent, when you're plugged in. If you’re going to go the wireless route with your cans, it makes sense to invest in headphones that support a high bitrate codec like AAC, Sony’s LDAC, or Qualcomm’s aptX.

Trusted by studio engineers, musicians and DJs alike, AKG pro headphones are meticulously built to deliver the most accurate and precise sound that professionalsdemand.
