Comfortable, sound great, quick connection

Have been waiting for these to be available. I wanted to get the 371's but they are still not available so I went ahead with the 361's. Really enjoying these. They are super comfortable. The ear pads are super soft and fit over my ears great. I have tried several other over the ear headphones in the past and they did not fit my ears well or had too much clamping force. The sound quality is great. I'm hearing details in music I never noticed before. I wanted some bluetooth headphones that were affordable, neutral sounding, and comfortable. These fit the bill. Of note is that on the outside of the left ear piece, on the AKG circle, you control volume, track forward/back, and pause via swipe and tap motions(there might be other swipe controls I haven't discovered yet). They also turn off automatically after a certain amount of time not in use. With the slide on/off toggle they don't turn on accidentally in my bag either. Only negative is that the charging port is micro USB instead of USB C.

Less than I had expected for this price.

I've had my K361-BT headphones for about a month now. The sound quality is good, fit is fairly good. There were numerous items that I'm not pleased with. The mic is either not working or the default output volume is too low. Even when I have the mic volume turn to maximum level on my PC or phone, the mic only registers 2% sound level. There are no adjustment features for the mic on the headphones that I've found. The touch / slide controls don't work well. The require heavy pressure and multiple attempts to adjust. They headphone do feel quite warm when worn for extended periods of 3 hours or more. Overall I'm quite disappointed with the product.

    *K361-BT: The sound quality is amazing, the clarity of individual instruments is impressive and the lack of "boosted" millennial bass is also appreciated. My only recommendation would be to snug the size adjustment a little (I added electrical tape to restrict the movement). If they are bumped or catch on something they tend to loosen (I wear them while working on tractors and equipment so if your not inside an engine bay or under a machine you'll be fine). Just a heads up also if you have "mechanic hands", to many cuts and calluses the fancy controls won't like you. *K553 mk.II: I loved the K361's so much I replaced my "at home" headphones with these. If you purchase these do yourself a favor a take a journey through Eric Clapton's Discography, it'll make you're hair stand up and brain tingle. Pure musical ecstasy!

    Great sound, super comfortable! I wish they had a shorter cord that comes with the long cord, but that's not a big deal!

  • AKG, Outstanding!

    This pair of headphones has a great audio response. The muffs do a great job of suppressing background noise. Listening to my Midas desk through them, GREAT! Bluetooth was just icing on the cake, can't wait to put the Bluetooth to the test on my 15 hour flight to the Philippines.

    These headphones are great. They are the best set I've ever owned and AKG always knocks it out of the park. The Bluetooth connected right away without issue and began playing immediately. The touch controls took about a day to get used to, but work great. I also used the corded option to plug in play bass and it made a huge difference in my playing, since the audio was extremely clear.

  • Great sound, awful gesture control and pairing

    Great balanced sound, 50mm drivers allow to hear more details. Gesture control doesn't work well especially pause/play. The AKG app doesn't support this headphone, so you cannot use EQ. No pairing mode on this headphone, you need to disable BT on current device and then power off and on the headphone to pair it with another device.

    The description seems to imply that one can use the Bluetooth and wired setting simultaneously, is this possible? I bough this set of headphones based on the description, and have tried using them for that function with no luck. I have sent an RFI to the manufacturer and haven't heard back.

    I don't think it's meant to do that.
