## Description

AKG K361BT Bluetooth Wireless Over Ear Headphones with Mic (Black) : desertcart.in: Musical Instruments

Review: When wired they are outstanding. No Aptx/AptxHD. Only AAC/SBC - I bought this pair to replace my pair of dying Jabra Move Bluetooth headphones which I used for a good 6 years. I got these cheaper than the far inferior Jabra Move. Since these had seen a price drop, they fitted very well into my budget. In Bluetooth mode, the gestures on left hand side are intuitive and work well. The voice on the line does not sound like a typical voice on a phone line, but rather sound as if the person is speaking to you accross a table. Amazing. Bluetooth connection is stable. Only a single device can be connected at a time which is disappointing. With Android phones built on Qualcomm SOC, the headphone supports AAC and SBC Bluetooth codecs but not the newer and better AptxHD and Aptx codecs, which is a little disappointing. Plug in one of the included proprietary cables, and the Headphones transform into a different beast. These are tuned to a flat acoustic curve (Harman curve). Those addicted to heavy bass may be disappointed. But those who revel in hearing all those instruments playing in the middle frequencies will be delighted. These headphones reveal a lot of details and additional instruments that you have probably never heard before on your other bassy headphones that produce a lot of muddy bass and obscure the rest of the music. The sound stage is quite wide. Various percussion instruments can be localised within different parts of the brain. The sound stage is a little narrower than my legendary Beyerdynamic DT 770Pro which are also a little warmer and has a mild V-Shaped Acoustic curve and slightly more lively. The AKG however has more instrument detail for the audiophile. When connected to the Astell & Kern XB10 or Blitwolf BR-BW (DAC-Amps) the sound was better than from its internal Bluetooth circuit. This 32ohms K361BT headphone drives easily from a standard phone at 90% volume without issue. The DT770 (32 ohm version) has the phone gasping at full volume to barely drive it at enjoyable levels. The included soft pouch is much better made than that included with the more expensive DT770. The removable cables are a plus. The foldable joint makes it a little portable in comparison to the DT770 which would be used strictly indoors. There is no ANC. This is a circum-aural set that provides a high level of noise isolation. So much that I am oblivious to the activity going on around me. The clamping force is just right for long term usage. Ear cups are extremely comfortable. Replacement cups are easy to find since those for the AudioTechnica M50X are said to fit these well. My wife hates circum-aural headphones beacause it shuts out her voice almost completely. She needs to tap me on my shoulder to draw my attention. How sad, too bad. Acoustically this is an all-rounder that should not be missed at this price. Apparently this sounds better than the K371 that succeeds this model as per numerous reviews. Buy it till the deal lasts. Very Highly Recommended.
Review: DON'T BUY THESE, IT's A HIT OR MISS - Update: 17th June 2020 (I am returning these disappointments) I received a defective unit in replacement and was told to communicate with the Harman Customer Support for replacement and repair. They totally ignored the loose hinge issue (video attached and mind you, it's within a week of use of the headphones) and termed the disconnection of headphones as a feature (I mean don't become a Software Engineer here). I will start with the cons, as there's no pros. 0. The most important thing, the sound. From the brief period of me owning them I had following things noticed: The frequency response as advertised from 5Hz to 22KHz+ is deceptive. They sound pretty avg from 20Hz to 30Hz, the bass from 30Hz - 70Hz is very heavy, but still good for casual listening. The most common range of around 8kHz is where the things start to get pretty messy. Some amount of Shrill is heard at this range and can become harsh sounding in extended use case. The Highs on these headphones are painfully spiked and might cause fatigue in prolonged use. But yeah, for some songs, they sound excellent, eg being most of the songs of 20syl's new album 36 (give it a listen, nice set of music there). Again, as I said in title, it's a hit or miss. Conclusion: They are NOT Studio Headphones and should not be used for referencing or mixing. They are just good for vocals and some casual listening. Some people who bought won't even notice the difference, but for audiophiles, they are a big let down. Now some more shortcomings of these headphones. I may sound like I am nitpicking them, but once you start to face issues and start getting technically bad explanation for them, yes, they need to be considered: 1. The device will disconnect if it is paired and kept idle for more than 10 minutes. You have to switch OFF and ON again to pair the device again (this is what I received as a communication from the company's senior technical person). Bluetooth 5+, this was the major upgrade to the BT devices, as it switched from legacy Bluetooth Radio to Bluetooth Low Energy even for the audio devices. Explained in layman terms: it is far more efficient in terms of battery for the continuously paired device. To be honest, I have not seen any device, even using the BT4.2 BLE turn off when not played for a certain interval of time. Some devices handle it by making the device go into standby mode, by keeping it paired and awakening the device with some gesture or invoke if the sounds start playing. Being price originally at Rs. 23,999/- at the time of writing this (though selling it for 10,500/-) is just a gimmick for this sole reason as many other brands offer much better at Rs. 23,000/- and more (Sony WH1000XM3, Bose QC 3.0 to name a few which obviously offer the above bluetooth behavior). 2. One more major caveat of this device is: it is marketed as "Professional Studio Headphones/ Monitors" and still uses the bluetooth codec "AAC" and "SBC", when a more advanced and efficient "APT-X" and "APTX-HD" exist and are even more prominent for the people who use "Hi-Fi" or Lossless Audios. Though AAC gets the job done, it is not available for all the devices in the market and can be useless on such devices for HiFi listening. 3. You cannot pair these device to 2 devices at once. Bluetooth 4.1 BLE and above (including 5.0 and 5.1) support being connected to 2 devices simultaneously and can switch the audio source according to the priority, like incoming or outgoing call will redirect the sound through headphones, while simultaneously being connected to the other device (native feature). Also, most devices don't go on standby/ or get disconnected even if it is inactive because of the sound being played on the other device. 4. The Bluetooth headphone comes with the mic, which works only when the device is connected in wireless mode, not wired mode. Reason: funny enough, though the device has 4-Pin Mini XLR port, all the 3 cables provided in the box are having "3.5mm TRS" instead of "3.5mm TRRS", rendering the mic useless on most of the mobile devices including Cellphones and Laptops. Please let me know if there are any cables to solve this, though I don't see any point in buying the cable after investing a substantial amount of budget in headphones. 5. Coming to the build, from my initial impression of these headphones, which was limited to less than 5 days in total due to defective pieces, the cushion on these pairs is really shallow, such that the ear touches the driver's plastic, making it unbearable to wear after an hour long use. 6. The clamping force for the headphones is more on the top, making the seal loose from the bottom side of the ear-cups. You can literally feel the difference in the sound if you press a bit on the bottom while using them. Changing of pads is recommended if you are still willing to and live with these headphones (Brainwavz has perforated Ear Pads for AudioTechnica Ovals, these will be a good replacement). 7. Also, it is way too backward to be still using MicroUSB when the world is moving towards USB Type C & wireless. The headphone doesn't have NFC Pairing and nor any app to manage the equalizer on this headphones. Also, you cannot use these headphones in wired mode while charging them. Well, to be honest, I knew only a couple of issues - MicroUSB and inability to Pair to 2 devices at a same time, before buying because these were the only ones which are available easily on the product listing and Spec Sheet available on AKG International website. And these were fine for me, because I had some other priorities to look for, and no product is perfect for any given price range. But to be honest, I was not satisfied with any of the claims made by the brand and chose to return them for good as the price I paid not even justifies half of the things. The customer service is also very orthodox and feel disrespected when raised concerns with the product. Better options are available for headphones within this range, go for Sony or AT as they are much better in terms of quality. Bluetooth is just an added thing, not worth the money to be spent on if you are an audiophile. For general and casual listening, they might suit you.Not at all worth the Studio Monitors, nor do use them for Studio Monitoring. Review (10 June 2020, post replacement, again faulty, contacted the Harman for resolution) To my utter disappointment, these pairs also had Quality Issue: 1. The left hinge is pretty loose and doesn't stay stiff enough to be even held on head. 2. The bluetooth connectivity is terrible: the headphones keep disconnecting automatically, the mic doesn't capture the sound and needs restart of the headphones to make it work (sometimes, not always), and the side gesture control is not responsive at times. Being a mid-high range headphones, being marketed as Studio Quality Headphones, I didn't expect this from AKG. At first I though that it must be a batch issue, but seems like even the predecessor non Bluetooth K371 had these issues and were addressed 4 months after the release. I actually think that they are not worth the money to be spent on just due to the terrible quality control issues. The comfort is okay, though the pads feel bit shallow and my ears can feel the touch of the plastic panel at the back of earcups. They sound good for mid ranges, but the sound goes muddy for lower frequencies and some terrible peaks in the high frequency ranges (not that noticeable, unless you listen to some flac audios) I have written to the AKG Harman India for the issue and will write a followup review once I get my resolution. Review (6th June 2020, replacing them as they are faulty units) To my disappointment, the pair I received had couple of major issue: 1. The right ear had rattling noise while listening to any kind of music,especially in the range of 25Hz to 65Hz. 2. The hinge mechanism looked damaged and was quite shaky.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is this the same thing as the K361 but bluetooth abilities? what i mean is can i use these with a wire that would work the same as normal K361?**
A: There are bluetooth and just wired versions of both the K361 and K371.

The K371 (and K371BT for the BlueTooth version) are a higher end model, and it uses a 4-pin mini XLR connector on the earcup.

The K361 (and BlueTooth version, K361BT) uses a 3-pin Mini XLR connector on the earcup.

Both of the BT versions have the option to connect to your computer or tablet using USB.

**Q: can i use these with my xbox series s? And i heard it has a built in microphone, is that true?**
A: Yes you can use it with your XBOX and it does have a microphone.

**Q: How is the clamp force? Can they be used for exercise?**
A: They fit snug for a bike ride or lifting, but they are decently bulky so I wouldn’t personally use them for any rigorous cardio. Also, the foam around the ear would probably not respond well to sweat.

**Q: Is the microphone good enough for zoom calls?**
A: Yes I use mine daily for zoom & webex meetings.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A review which addresses all your queries
*by A***. on 22 June 2021*

I have the AKG K361BT Model . Before the actual review I would like to mention I tried the headphones as a Casual User for playing games ,movies ,video editing and I'm no professional soundguy. This headphones is made up of good quality plastic ,so little to no creaking sounds .As you can see the band adjustment has very little support its doing fine but I do worry a little bit The wired mode is 2x times better than the Bluetooth mode in terms of sound , Bluetooth sounds little better than Bluetooth headphones which cost 4k , But I'm totally impressed with the wired sound . Bluetooth doesn't have the latest aptex codec but AAC does the job and there is little to no lag in watching videos and playing games . The ear cushions are comfortable you can use them for 3 hours full sessions and then a 2-3 min brake will again get you the same comfort.The cushions provide good passive noise cancellation. In Bluetooth mode ,after 10-15 min of inactivity the headphones turn off which is a little bummer but not a deal breaker for most of us . Speaking of sound quality it don't have heavy bass as it's an studio headphones,but everything is balanced ! I was able to hear some sounds which I was unable to hear in my old cheaper headphones. Mic is decent,but you can use it only in Bluetooth mode,when wired you can't use your mic ! Overall the product is nice ,it'll definitely be a upgrade if you come from cheaper headphones or new to headphones! I absolutely love it , but some of you might be experiencing that your left ear is touching the driver of headphones (if you have big ears ) so in that case I suggest you to change the stock pads to something more thicker like brainwavez ear pads ! I give it only 4 stars cause at first I got an refurbished product and was little sad ,then I asked for a replacement and got a new product in 2 days and absolutely loving it ! I'm speaking all these with one week of daily use for atleast 6-10 hours everyday ,will post an update later a full month of use !
