Type
Over Ear

Type

Over Ear

Headphones with larger ear cups compared to on-ear headphones, which hug the ears.


They are more comfortable and provide better external noise isolation, but are more difficult to transport due to their larger size.

Generally, over-ear headphones can offer higher quality sound and deep bass compared to on-ear headphones of similar quality, thanks to their larger speakers.
Frequency Response
15 - 28000 Hz

Frequency Response

The range of frequencies that headphones can reproduce. The most common range is that of human hearing, 20 - 20000 Hz. A wider frequency range does not necessarily mean better sound quality.

  • (Bass) 20-250 Hz: Stronger bass, for depth. Ideal frequencies for listening to electronic or hip hop music.
  • (Mids) 250-4,000 Hz: The mid frequencies are stronger, suitable for better listening to vocals or orchestral music.
  • (Treble) 4,000-20,000 Hz: High frequencies affect the clarity and sharpness of the sound, for better listening to, for example, cymbals or the plucking of classical guitar strings.
Impendance
32 ohm

Impendance

The resistance that the speakers of headphones have to electric current. Usually, the lower the resistance, the louder the headphones sound, but the sound is less clear.

This size does not concern the average user as almost all headphones are 32 Ohms. Headphones with high resistance usually require an additional amplifier.
Sensitivity
114 dB

Sensitivity

The greater the sensitivity of the headphones, the louder they will sound at a specific volume of the source. Generally, values above 90db are considered very good. - **Above 100db**: Headphones with high Sensitivity produce more sound with less power. They can reach high volumes with low-power devices (e.g., mobile phone, laptop). - **Below 100db**: Headphones with low Sensitivity require more power to reach the same volume levels, so they may need a special headphone amplifier
Driver Diameter
50 mm

Driver Diameter

The diameter of the headphones' speakers. Usually, the larger the diameter, the more powerful sound with full bass they can offer.

    Purchased for €88. Very good headphones for the money, which connect to Focusrite 2i2 second generation. I am not a music expert nor do I use them for production, only for listening. My only long-term experience is with the Sennheiser HD 439, which are open-back and in the same price range, purchased many years ago. The bass of the AKG is just right and much better than the HD 439 since they are closed-back, the sound quality is very good across the entire frequency range, sound isolation is excellent, I don't hear outside sounds nor do they hear what I'm listening to, the sound quality does not distort as we increase the volume, very comfortable on the head. Maximum usage duration was 6 hours straight without any discomfort.

    Purchase 80 euros. 5 years later, the headphones are one of the best purchases I have ever made. Around the 1st-2nd year they needed new ear pads, as with most headphones. I bought 2 synthetic and 1 leather from Brainwavz, I’ve been using the synthetic ones for 3 years and they have no wear at all. I had done several months of research, and it paid off completely. They are tuned to the Harman curve, meaning they sound pleasant to most ears, that’s exactly how I’ve left them, I haven’t needed to adjust them with any software, their tuning is truly amazing.
    They are 32 ohms, they will work on phones with the appropriate adapter, but you will notice a big difference with a small amplifier, or a dongle DAC that gives a bit more power. Personally, I’ve kept them on my head for 3 or 4 hours, they are super light! At some point in the 1st to 2nd hour, ALL headphones become tiring and it depends on the head and sensitivity of each person. They are definitely among the "comfortable" headphones.

    I bought them after watching several videos and asking on Reddit (r/headphoneadvice), and I have to say that they are definitely worth their money.

    However, if someone wants to take their sound to another level (which I highly recommend), they can purchase the "apple usb-c to 3.5mm headphone jack" to work as a DAC, essentially giving a boost to the sound. Additionally, if your computer doesn't have usb-c, I recommend the "Powertech USB-A male - USB-C female," which is a small adapter for 1€ that does the job perfectly.

    I have attached a photo of the Dongle DAC

    For those who are familiar, these are considered references to the harman curve for headphones. This says it all. And with the advantage that they are driven quite well even by a mobile device.

    I combine them with the Fiio K3 dac/amp (they can be driven without an external dac/amp, but the sound is not the same in terms of quality and volume. I highly recommend an external dac/amp even for headphones with these requirements). Basically, I believe that without a dac/amp, a large percentage of the headphones' capabilities are left untapped.

    Exceptional headphones. Good soundstage for closed-back. Comfortable. On warmer days, your ears may sweat, but it stays within reasonable levels. Although they are all plastic, the build quality seems good. Time will tell...
    Their sound is also very good for all genres of music. A reliable all-around headphone (the K371 may be even better as an all-around headphone since I consider them somewhat more comfortable for extended use due to their warmer sound signature).
    The bass is not impressive but it is present (especially with the Fiio K3, which has bass boost and I have it on for certain songs and I admit it is enjoyable. However, when I want to focus on vocals or guitars, etc., I turn off the bass boost and the clarity is very good). Very nice mids. The treble is also good, although those who prefer a warm sound signature should consider the K371, as I mentioned earlier. The K361 are brighter and may seem slightly "sharp-piercing" in higher frequencies to some. However, for me, they are more open and the sound is slightly more crystalline to my ears. It's a matter of personal preference, I believe. I prefer the K361 for certain genres of music while I prefer the K371 for others. However, in general, the K361 are closer to my taste and their price is very good compared to the competition in this category.

    Purchased for €88. Very good headphones for the money, which connect to Focusrite 2i2 second generation. I am not a music expert nor do I use them for production, only for listening. My only long-term experience is with the Sennheiser HD 439, which are open-back and in the same price range, purchased many years ago. The bass of the AKG is just right and much better than the HD 439 since they are closed-back, the sound quality is very good across the entire frequency range, sound isolation is excellent, I don't hear outside sounds nor do they hear what I'm listening to, the sound quality does not distort as we increase the volume, very comfortable on the head. Maximum usage duration was 6 hours straight without any discomfort.

    Purchase 80 euros. 5 years later, the headphones are one of the best purchases I have ever made. Around the 1st-2nd year they needed new ear pads, as with most headphones. I bought 2 synthetic and 1 leather from Brainwavz, I’ve been using the synthetic ones for 3 years and they have no wear at all. I had done several months of research, and it paid off completely. They are tuned to the Harman curve, meaning they sound pleasant to most ears, that’s exactly how I’ve left them, I haven’t needed to adjust them with any software, their tuning is truly amazing.
    They are 32 ohms, they will work on phones with the appropriate adapter, but you will notice a big difference with a small amplifier, or a dongle DAC that gives a bit more power. Personally, I’ve kept them on my head for 3 or 4 hours, they are super light! At some point in the 1st to 2nd hour, ALL headphones become tiring and it depends on the head and sensitivity of each person. They are definitely among the "comfortable" headphones.

    I bought them after watching several videos and asking on Reddit (r/headphoneadvice), and I have to say that they are definitely worth their money.

    However, if someone wants to take their sound to another level (which I highly recommend), they can purchase the "apple usb-c to 3.5mm headphone jack" to work as a DAC, essentially giving a boost to the sound. Additionally, if your computer doesn't have usb-c, I recommend the "Powertech USB-A male - USB-C female," which is a small adapter for 1€ that does the job perfectly.

    I have attached a photo of the Dongle DAC

    For those who are familiar, these are considered references to the harman curve for headphones. This says it all. And with the advantage that they are driven quite well even by a mobile device.

    I combine them with the Fiio K3 dac/amp (they can be driven without an external dac/amp, but the sound is not the same in terms of quality and volume. I highly recommend an external dac/amp even for headphones with these requirements). Basically, I believe that without a dac/amp, a large percentage of the headphones' capabilities are left untapped.

    Exceptional headphones. Good soundstage for closed-back. Comfortable. On warmer days, your ears may sweat, but it stays within reasonable levels. Although they are all plastic, the build quality seems good. Time will tell...
    Their sound is also very good for all genres of music. A reliable all-around headphone (the K371 may be even better as an all-around headphone since I consider them somewhat more comfortable for extended use due to their warmer sound signature).
    The bass is not impressive but it is present (especially with the Fiio K3, which has bass boost and I have it on for certain songs and I admit it is enjoyable. However, when I want to focus on vocals or guitars, etc., I turn off the bass boost and the clarity is very good). Very nice mids. The treble is also good, although those who prefer a warm sound signature should consider the K371, as I mentioned earlier. The K361 are brighter and may seem slightly "sharp-piercing" in higher frequencies to some. However, for me, they are more open and the sound is slightly more crystalline to my ears. It's a matter of personal preference, I believe. I prefer the K361 for certain genres of music while I prefer the K371 for others. However, in general, the K361 are closer to my taste and their price is very good compared to the competition in this category.
