K361

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.

The sound is very clear but it has a dip around 4kHz. While this may be irritating to a few people who are looking for absolut detale this is not the headphones for you. The imagine on the headphones is adequate it is nothing to drive home about but it has far better imaging than most "gaming headphones" on the market. The sound stage is pretty narrow but for monitoring your vocals and checking levels it is fine. It is also good to listen to music it does have a slight bump in the sub bass. If u like that this is an amazing headphone for you. The build quality of the k361 is far worse than the k371 but the sound is better and is better for all music while k371 only works with a few songs. Build does not feel like it will brake in a year like most of the other headphones I thave had over time and have gone through 1 headphone a year for the past 3 years. This is the best one I have used till now.

It's been 3 years since i'm using them daily, absolutely love them. I'm surprised that they lasted so long and still going although i replaced the ear-pads one time. The sound signatrue is great but i feel the mids could have been better. I use them to listen to music mainly metal and rock, office meetings , watchings videos and all stuff they work great but if you want to listen to music better get a DAC to drive them the sound quality will significantly improve. These are bang for the buck, I highly recommend them as entry level studio monitors.

This is the best that I have used to listen with. I haven't used more expensive or similar priced headphones to listen to, to be frank. But here are my observations, Great! After about 2 hour of listening time I can tell you this - 1: clarity is great . I can hear sounds that I haven't before. With little noise of any sort. 2: Not for bassheads. Stay away if you just want to listen to bass and not the details. 3: Music sounds beautiful. You can EQ the sh*t out of this headphones and choose your taste in genre of your liking. Maybe except for bass heavy genres. Can easily get more bass heavy headphones easily with the money I have paid for these headphones, But with substantially less deatails. If that is your main concern. 4: Bass are detailed. Mids are clean. Highs are exquisite. 5: Build quality is good. All plastic except for the magnets and connections and other components. Plastic used, feels of higher quality than I have paid for. Should last for long. Touch feels good. 6: I am not an audiophile, but with these headphones I can surely understand one. I can taste good sound finally! 7: All I want to do is just listen to all the songs that I have till now. Will update this review after I have finished. Summary - Damn good headphones! Update - I know burning in headphones is a myth, but headphones sounds better than out of the box after a while.

look there are two types of headphones one is for audiophiles or studio headphones with flat audio signature means you hear the accurate and precise sound as the artist intended and other is for pleasant listening like all those mainstream headphone some of them has good highs some of them has good lows and some of them has good Mids. this headphone is I think in between those studio and mainstream headphone if you have nothing to do with studio recording but you just like to listen crystal clear accurate sound like a audiophile then this is the best choice for you basically you can't get a better headphone at this price point if you are a audiophile and have less budget except Philips sph9500 but it is 14k in India. Don't focus more on rating most my friends also said it doesn't have good bass so its a waste of money so if you are one of those who want unwanted extra bass that distort the original music then don't buy these. I notice very little difference in the first day in sound when I was comparing it with my Sony in ear headphones which was around 2000 rupees but this is around 7000 rupees so I think is it fair to get just a little improvement in sound quality I have to spend 5000 extra but for 3 to 4 days I get used to it and then , when I switch to my Sony headphone I notice something missing, I cant hear those slight details. IMPORTANT - DONT GO FOR THE BLUETOOTH VERSON GO FOR THE WIRED ONE IF YOU WANT GOOD QUALITY MUSIC.

This headphone is the best and most comfortable I have ever used..........the only deal breaker for this product is that I can get the bluetooth version just by spending Rs.1000 more, which is great.

At the time I found it great but honestly you’ll get cheaper IEMs that have better sound curve or even other on ear headphones that are better. AKG released a new version which I hear is has improved sound but for this price I’m not sure it’s worth it. Also fake leather ear pads can go to hell. Horrible stuff, it cracks over time and deposits all over your face. Nasty.

Clear sound, doesn't feel like muffled or mushy, i don't know why some people call it totally empty sounding, it only felt empty when i was listening to nothing and not putted on properly. I am not an audiophile but it sounds much better and no nonsense bass compared to my old HS50. The only thing is the headband worn out in 3 weeks but maybe because of water i used them after shower and also headband little stiff so i have to adjust it after sometime. Earcups are very good totally covers your ear and doesn't cause much pain. Plastic build seems flimsy but its not but i will still recommend to use it with care.

Buen sonido y comodidad aceptable

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!

Excellent sound and the round ear style is comfortable.

Been into audio and headphones for years. Excellent sound quality for the price, especially on sale. The only negative is the unusual size locking plug cable, so a replacement non-OEM cable would be more difficult.
