i like your reviews because you can be angry without screaming or talking agressively
It's to avoid clipping our patience, it has average dynamic range 😁
(mine is 32bit float though 😂 )

Z Reviews in a nutshell
I've been using the AKG K361BT both wired and Bluetooth for a year and a half now and I am very pleased with my purchase. I mostly wear them for PC gaming and while watching youtube videos. For music production, mixing, and playing my keyboards I use Neumann's KDH20s (non-Bluetooth). I like the freedom of wireless and the AKG 361BT can travel about 60 feet away from my PC (Bluetooth 5.1) before the signal gets broken up and choppy. I use a pair of AKG N20NCs with my Galaxy Note 20 (which I got free with the purchase of a Galaxy Note 8 two and a half years ago), since they are smaller, fold well, and are travel friendly due to long battery life (about 18+ hrs). As BT goes the on-the-ear noise-cancelling AKG N20NCs have much better BT fidelity than the AKG K361BTs, IMHO. Windows doesn't support aac so that might be another reason why the difference. I cannot, however, stand to wear the on-the-ear AKG N20NCs for more than two hours without my outer ears (helix) hurting like they're being pinched. Repositioning the 'phones helps, but it's rather annoying still. I hardly know that the other over-the-ear headphones are on after hours of wearing them although they might become sweaty at times, especially the Naumann's. They are so comfortable I sometimes forget that they're on after the music has stopped playing. I have fallen asleep with the K361BTs on and hardly knew they were still on after waking up and walking around for a few minutes. 😎
Will you recommend AKG K316BT to someone like me who is just starting to make covers and produce music? I'm looking for something versatile so I could easily use it for casual listening, piano and electric guitar practicing, monitoring, and mixing. And I work at outside a lot... so the bluetooth capability comes in handy... would you recommend it?
@@namede6210 Hi, Namede. I'm very sorry that I didn't see your AKG k361BT question a year ago. I would've said yes though. My opinion about BT isn't as harsh as the reviewer. I assume that he's had much more experience with a variety of expensive BT headphones, while I've only had the cheapest. The K361BT when wired worked very well when I broke the proprietary cable plug to my KDH20s. I played music and recorded using the K361BT's wired feature and then I listened to the music later wirelessly, I was impressed by the quality of both features, plus the 60 feet of BT broadcast distance. So, if you don't have deep pockets then I think the K361BT should be more than adequate.
Again, I am sorry for not answering sooner! I hope that you are happy with your purchase, however!
yes. I'm 100% agree with this review. I got a K371-BT for significantly cheaper than the K371, and the seller bundled it with some extra pads. BT performance is just... meh. Maybe for a quick run to the toilet, or some porn session, sure. but for actually enjoying music? nah. and this is where i got into a second problem. AKG, what the actual fuck is that connector? Mini 4 pin XLR? I want to get a custom cable for it but come the fuck on, it's hard to find one.
Am I the only one that does not dislike the bt functionality of the K361 BT? After all, you get a wired K361 with the added bonus (at a price, of course) of BT. Audio quality is different from wired use, but who cares when I'm in the underground or walking in the streets, use cases are so different! And, I must add, BT audio quality is very entertaining, I don't miss the wired sound at all and do not miss higher quality codecs like aptX, aptX HD, LDAC. Even the Sony WF-1000XM3 tws do not have those codecs and sound very good, so, in my opinion it's no problem at all. In my opinion the K361 BT are superb value for all that they offer.
No you’re not the only one. I’m sure there are plenty who would enjoy this headphone
I eq-ed the BT function to my liking. They provide an extremely good sound if eq-ed correctly
What do you use to EQ? An app on your phone?
Could you tell us how you did that? I tried fooling around with the eq on my phone, buit would like to see how it is done on the headphones. Thanx!
You missed the most important part. Even in wired mode, the K361-BT doesn't sound as good as the non-BT K361-BT
Oh really? Did you test this?
I’m no audiophile but curious if this is true
@@surajkatra3769 there are many famous audio reviewers online who did, some of the most respected ones.
For me the BT would just be a bonus... I'd mostly use them wired (and hopefully the SQ is the same as the non-BT version). Then only use BT occasionally if doing stuff around the house or listening to podcasts. So who cares about 'audiophile' quality in those situations.. Why would any audiophile care about BT/wireless? They're obsessed with cables!!
Audiophiles complain in mysterious ways.
Great review. You have made me doubt though. I was about to buy the non bluetooth version of these ones. Could you recommend something for home recording, flat response, super comfortable and affordable ($100-150). I own the Sony mdr-7506 and they're just way too trebly. I am looking for something neutral sounding (maybe a bit mid-forwards) good for tracking my recordings (mainly electric guitars). Or could these AKG do the trick? Hope you can respond. Cheers!
I haven't heard another AKG headphone in a long time, but I do remember disliking the K712--which is said to be a studio headphone...eh, I'm not convinced.
As for alternatives, I think the K361 and 371 simply do not offer what you're looking for. Neither is neutral.
Unfortunately, it's a little tough to find neutral/flat headphones in your price category. That's simply not the target market. But, there are a few headphones that can probably provide a neutral-ish sound signature for around $150:
1. Monoprice HR5 and HR5C. Neither has received reviews, but I think both are clear and neutral-ish. They don't have harsh treble.
2. Rane RH50. It has decent soundstage and slightly rolled off bass; mids are clear though there is a bit of sibilance. Treble is a bit forward, but not harsh.
3. OneOdio Studio Headphones. These are cheap, flimsy, but very comfortable and fairly neutral.
4. DT880 or DT770. Either can be found for within your price range. Make sure you look for 250 ohms or less. Avoid the 16 ohm version of the 770; the 32 ohm version of the 880 may be fine, but I think the sweet spot for the 880 is the 250 ohm variant. Neither is actually neutral, but close enough for your budget.
If you can save a bit more and want true neutral, then the Ollo Audio headphones might be a great investment for you. Those and the Avantone Planar are the most neutral headphones I've heard, but they are both far outside your current budget.
I think it makes sense to think about what you really want. If you want true neutral, then maybe you should buy something cheap now and save for either the Planar or one of the Ollo headphones. But, you may very well find a much cheaper headphone satisfactory for your needs.
@@NoThemeReviews thanks for your time and your respond. I'll keep in mind you recommendation. Cheers!
Love the channel! Can you review and compare this with the Audio-Technica Ath-m50xbt. Will be awesome!
If I can find one at a reasonable price, I’ll give it a go. Thanks for the suggestion
How good is the mic? Does the mic work if you use the cable?
Hey you should do a review on the new Sennheiser HD 280 pros, not the old ones.
AKG K361BT vs Sennheiser 4.50BTNC??? Which is better?
does 360BT and K361 sound the same in wired?
OK I really wonder, how do Sony XM3 or XM4 sound compared to this on Bluethooth?
hey, i can get k361bt for around $60 and the regular one is actually more expensive. does the wired version sound better than the bt version connected by aux yk what i mean or does they sound the same when plugged in to the phone. and im just a casual listener but i want to get the best sound quality with this price. should i consider some other headphones by sony, sennheiser or jbl ? please respond and thank you
Yeah there’s no difference when plugged in
Hey man, what with that video about koss headphones succesor? We want something about it :D
I'm still listening to it. I need another week before I can feel comfortable talking about its sound.
I hope you can review the Drop Pandas. The hype train for those are crazy. We need an honest opinion.
I plan to when they finally become public.
Hello sir...
Really superb review..
Loved this vedio ...
I got an deal on AKG 361BT at the price under 40$ ...
Shall I buy this...
Your reply will help me a lot..
Thanks in advance
hi would you consider this the best comfortable bluetooth closed backed over ear headphones for the price range ? or are there other models you would consider better or comparable ?
I think the Anker Q30 is more comfortable
@@NoThemeReviews ok i'll look into that one thank you!
Just got the AKG 361-BT headphones. Are there issues with anyone trying to connect the bluetooth function to their Iphones? I'm charging it and have it on, and my phone is right next to it, but the headphones do not show on my list of my other bluetooth devices. Does this only connect with certain versions of the Iphone?
It may not work while charging
@@NoThemeReviews "May"? Do you know for certain either way? (Not trying to bitch, just asking)
It doesn’t. It will disconnect from BT if forced into charge while on, and will turn the headphones off to charge.
What happened to the Starfield review?
It would make sense for AKG to tune to the Harman Curve, they're owned by the parent company the name comes from.
What are your thoughts on the k361? I just ordered it, it should arrive in a few days, got myself an apple dongle for my dac, and for an amp I am thinking of the walnut f1 or jazz r7.8 what do you think on my audio setup too?
The K361 is a good headphone with a fairly balanced sound; it is a bit more detailed and neutral than the 371. I haven't used either of those amps, and I can't comment about their performance. Regardless, whatever you get will likely be an improvement over the Apple dac, which is as trashy as trash can be.
@@NoThemeReviews very strange to hear that about the apple dongle, idk why a lot of people recommended it to me (type c to 3.5mm). Thanks a lot!
Edit: do you ever plan on reviewing any similar amps in the price range of the ones I mentioned before?
I don’t have any plans to review anything like those.
@@NoThemeReviews also does the k361 sound any better on tubes?
I don’t know what you mean by “better”. That’s a personal preference.
the real problem about k361 in my country is there is no wired only version available here at all ! i did try ti find the wired version but end up found only an overprice from the fishy online shop. let's say people in my country buy a bt version just to use it as a wired headphone. awkward ?!
Are these durable? coz, I have seen many negative reviews about it. Otherwise these seems good.
They have been durable for me.
would you say that when using these wired, they are equal to the wired version of them?
I don't have the wired version to compare to. However, there is a noticeable difference between BT and wired connection.
@@NoThemeReviews okay thanks
Hi! How are these in comparison the the M40X's?
I don’t have the m40x and can’t compare
Do you think there's any better neutral headphones than the wired K361 in the same price range?
The 361 is not neutral, despite what AKG claims. You may want to look into the Monoprice HR5 and HR5C, Rane RH50, and ATH-M40x.
@@NoThemeReviews I looked into the M40x but people directed me to the AKG k361 and they said it's better overall neutral headphone. So that's not true?
@@lycoris7890 No, it isn't true, particularly if they don't tell you why specifically they think one headphone is more neutral than another. Take a look at each headphone's FR graph. There are differences of course, but to say that the 361 is more neutral than the m40x is not accurate. More neutral in what sense--bass, mids, treble? Anybody who says that the 361 is just plain "more neutral" than the m40x needs to do a proper A/B test.
I don't have the m40x so I can't say who's right or wrong, but I do have the 361 and have compared it to neutral headphones. The 361 is not neutral.
You should get more details from the people who are telling you to buy the 361. Ask them whether they actually did A/B tests with the m40x using a passive switch and volume-matched; ask them what frequency range precisely they think the 361 is more neutral in; ask them which music tracks they used to test the headphones. This is the bare minimum information they should provide you. If they cannot, then their suggestion that the 361 is "more neutral" has no real basis.
Dick Cavett and Orson Welles was hipper than hip. Big smile.
Drunk Orson Welles doing champagne commercials was sad. Great writer, fantastic director, amazing storyteller, reduced to cheap champagne ads. :(
@@NoThemeReviews Some things we do for love, some we do for money.
No shame in either.
For those who love money, it's a win-win.
Btw, nice channel.
I should add to love & money that we also do things because we have to - like Welles with Touch of Evil. That worked out pretty good.... go figure.
can someone help me? IF i buy k361 bt and use it with a wire, does it make sound quality difference from the k361
Idk

@@EnormeEkoH okay dude I'm sorry
@@melihherenn no problem :)
Is Akg k361 bluetooth good for daily use
Well...yes? I mean, it works fine. But you’re paying a lot of money for very old and sub-par codecs.
No Theme Reviews which head phones do you prefer
@@kamiyt7086 In what category?
No Theme Reviews all over balanced
361BT or Anker q30?
Depends on what you want. The 361 has a slightly warmer sound. The Q30 is more comfortable and has a useful app.

Micro USB in 2021 is unacceptable
Yeah, I don't get it. USB-C cannot be THAT expensive for manufacturers. USB-C implementation is among the slowest IO changes I've seen in a while. Manufacturers keep dragging their feet.
The Bluetooth function sounds poor :/
Yeah, it's one of the worst BT implementations I have heard in the last several years. I had a Sony Bluetooth headphone from 2013 and AKG's amplification and signal quality is exactly the same.
