Thanks for the shout out, and also now thanks to Oluv I'm getting a K361 for review soon as well to see how they compare for myself

I really liked the comparison you made. The comparison with the original recording is something you dont see everyday and makes a huge difference in trying to perceive how the headphones sound. Thank you for the effort.

One of the best comparisons I've watched in recent years! Keep the good work! 👏

Another great and detailed review, Olav - thanks again for your excellent work!

This duo looks like a sibling fight between m40x and m50x. Love this review Oluv!

Seen a few videos of yours in the past and have always been impressed with how in depth you get. Not sure why it took so long for me to hit that subscribe button. Keep them coming!

Got the k371 as I'm extremely treble sensitive. You're doing God's work here in headphone review. Glad I found this channel proud owner of k371 and Samsung akg in ears.

Based on this sound test, the K361 sounds more accurate, almost unnoticeable transitioning from the original track. Looking forward to Metal571's comparison too. I'm subscribed to you both. This might be my next over ear as I love budget finds under $100. Great content!

They are both very close to the original recording. Good effort. Indeed the K361 seems the best bang for the buck.

Wow, nice video & demo! I tried it with my trusty AKG K545’s. I think they both sound great, but slightly different. I guess it’s a matter of preference. I found the K361’s to match my K545’s sound signature the most. The K371 sounded a bit warmer than I am used to. I agree with Sleepy Takumi, it reminds me of the m40x vs m50x debate.

Much love Oluv for all what u do!!

Guten Tag! I'm new to your channel and I love your straightforward, "no crap" honesty. I can't wait for your review on the Audio Technica ATH-M40x! More power to you!

Listening to your video on my brand new AKG K371’s. Superb clarity!! Sadly no longer made in Austria.

K37 for me, sounds more like my original mix of Underwater Love.

Oluv, I'm looking for the most neutral (flat), comfortable, best soundstage, and best detailed seperation of instruments in a set of headphones I can find. These 2 were recommended to me by more than a few pros. I will be mixing and mastering on them, so in your opinon, what headphones would you recommend? Thanks in advance!

Really informative review, good work! Tried out the K371 and was really impressed with the sound signature, nicely balanced and no glaring flaws. Detail isn't outstanding but is good for the price point. Overall, versatile and portable headphones with useful features and impressive sound and build quality.

Great rewiew, ordered AKG K-361 for 87,90€ incl. postage Finland. Thank you !

Dude Huge thanks for demonstrating the difference between both

Given the measurements on the bass extensions on the K361 and K371, would that mean that they are more bass-heavy than the Earfun Wave or are they punchier?

I have the 361. They definitely struggle to get a good seal. On my flatplate I measured +10 dB at 40 Hz however even with a tiny wire tie inbetween they lose 5 dB. On a normal head they should be somewhat flat after the pads have worn in. Also because the headband is so loose a lot of the weight is pressing on the top of the head where they only have the somewhat stiff silicone-esque material. They should fit most Sony 7506 style earpads (100mm x 75mm), so for example the Yaxi stPad2 should fit. I also managed to put Brainwavz pads on them (microsuede+gel). Much more comfy but they lose a bit of mid-bass and gain more treble. I ended up using them stock. Overall it's a nice all purpose closed headphone. I usually run them with a filter at 9 kHz as I get a peak there and another one at 100 Hz to warm them up. Would definitely not recommend for people who wear medium to thick armed glasses.

Thanks oluv, looking forward to more headphone reviews.

WOW! Tks for this capture!

Also Oluv, what songs are the sample tracks your using?

I listened to AKG K361 today. Admit it, Oluv, they have a slight mid bump that you like!

Oluv, could you please compare these two to ath m40x with hm5 pads. Thanks

Thank you Oluv! Very nice review.

Смотрю больше года. Все отлично!

Bought the 371 They sound amazing and detailed to me. Extremely happy. Make sure the audio source your listening to isn’t shit, some of my iTunes downloads are shit, then go check the same song elsewhere, amazing. You can eq them for pleasure, or most of the time they sound great, super happy.

Great content!Helped me a lot in choosing!👍

I am usually very critical of many youtube videos but this one is excellent. Thank

just what i needed. thank You

I think I will order the K361 today, I love the transition at 7:21 and 8:30, sounds similar to the original recording.

Hey Oluv! I'd really appreciate it if you could put the title of the tracks in the video. :)

Can't wait to hear your thoughts and comparison of the ath-m40x, for me they have too much midbass. Otherwise they are decent, but soundwise the HD 58x are my favourites so far, really a great headphone. Thank you again for your recommendation on those!

what do you think compared to the superlux hd681 for listening to the music (not only studio works)?

Hi, Can you suggest which is better one for me for the purpose of music production and recordings. And I am confusion to purchase the product. Could you suggest which one is better between these two products.

For me the best close headphones i have purchased !

do you record headphones through minidsp ears?

Which one is better the K361 or Sennheiser HD58X? I think both the HD58X and HD600 have a more transparent EQ when compared to K371.

Great comparison.. have you made the comparison with M40X like you mentioned in the video? I've searched it in your channel and couldn't find one.. Or do you have tried it yourself? What's your opinion? Moreover, how's the comparison with M50X? Thank you Oluv.

Another precise review, Oluv. Can you please review Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7b? Someday? This is the improved "balanced" version (2018) of original ATH-MSR7 (2015). I am absolutely happy with these - using the 4.4 mm balanced output!

I loved how he said Metal's name, lol. Great review as usual.

Stuck between yamaha mt5/mt8 and akg371( just for listening,not for monitoring) would appreciate any suggestions. Mostly i’m listening to vocal/trance,pop, live concerts. Thanks in advance:)

Any recommendations for a great closed headphone in the $500 bracket? Something that measures close to the Harmon target.

Hi Oluv, I'm looking for a closed back headphone, for recording and mixing. I was thinking about the AKG k361, but hesitate because of the positioning problem in this model that changes the perceived frequency response (I mean, one should be very careful placing the headphones on the head exactly the same every time, and also everyone hear it differently, depending on the position on the head). What are your thoughts on that? Maybe it would be better to just get any simple pair (ATH m20x etc.) and EQ it? Any insights will help me. Thanks!

They sound so close. I listened numerous times and finally decided I ever so slightly preferred the k371 by just a hair because I thought they were a little bit warmer in the bass and lower midrange. Although I can understand why Oluv prefers the k361. I did think in the bass the k361were closer to the original. However I thought both of them have extra bite in the treble compared to the original.

thank you man.. that was really helpful

Hi! I ask for help: I have a Shanling M3X player and AKG K371 headphones. What headphones can give an increase in sound? Full-size. I'm really looking forward to your advice.

I've noticed this with AKG headphones, that depending on the positioning on your head, the sound changes dramatically and I really don't like that. I want my headphones to be comfortable and sounding right in the position I like to wear them in. Sennheisers, for example, don't have such an issue.

Oluv. I need your advice. Which one is better for you: k361 vs anker q30 vs ath m50x vs SV021 ???? Thanks a lot. Really thanks.

Is there any other good choice under $100?

These or Beyerdynamic Dt250?

I ordered the 361. They are light sounds good and one can change the cables.

Great review!

How is isolation for recording on these?

Thanks for the great review. It's just a pity that examples of symphonic music and rock were not presented. In any case, very informative and I agree with the conclusions.

They have the same price in my country. Should I go for 371 because it has nicer built?

What about a review on akg k612 pro?

i'm listening through an ATH- MSR7 and IMHO K371 sounds much better, with smoother middle-range, most balanced mid-highs and treble more consistent. but you know, it's just my opinion, and anyway the listening can be strongly influenced by my setup, particularly by my headphones which I like very much though. It seems to me that K371 does not need any eq while K361 does, particularly ib the region of 3-5k. very nice channel, by the way. thanks for your nice reviews.

Great review ,I just subscribed

To listen to music , podcast , movies.......to enjoy the sound and not so much "analyze" the sound, which headphone is better and how much considering difference in price: AKG K361 (wired) vs Sennheiser HD560s or Sennheiser HD599 ( I know the Sennheisers are slightly different but for MY needs I will suppose they are kind of the same in terms of quality of sound) . Thanks to whoever can help me out answering my question. Thank to @Joshua Valour for your content.

My ears like the K361 more than the K371 in this sound demo and also i think they both seem to sound really good for their price range. I’m using the Sennheiser HD660S watching this video but i’m not sure if my headphones are neutral or not but the K361 sounds nicer through them.

I should have listened to you before buying. I bought the K371bt and sent them back. The left earpiece was causing problems with the sound being muddy and getting a good seal. I found I had to hold onto the earpiece and pulling away from head a few millimetres to get very decent sound but this not feasible to have to do all the while listening to music as soon as you let go the earpiece goes muddy again. I believe it is the pads but it only affected left earpiece for me. How did this get by quality control. They could have been decent otherwise.

Ya los compré y sí son una delicia, antes de estos AKG K371 estuve escuchando por un años y medio los Sony 1000XM3 y puedo decir que los AKG K371 son aún más claros, o más definidos que los Sony conectados via aux. y con su sistema encendido.

Hi!!! My question is for vocal 361 is better?

Thanks for the effort. I prefer the K371.

waiting for the comparison of the studio monitors you promised

Are you doing the k361 m40x comparison?

If the price of AKG 371 and AKG 361 is the same, which one do you choose?

How could you compare with hifiman he4xx?? Does he4xx much better option then k371?....

I felt that the instrument separation was better on the K361's

Guys. What do you recommend btw sr80x and akg-k361. For listening usually Rock, jazz, classical music. I quite dont like booming low base. I’ve spent around 2 months to choose between them.

the difference in base is very noticable

Exactly what i was looking for, the real difference between both models. Ordered the K361 BT.

Where did you get he sound clips from?

in my country both are on sale n are actually the same prize what shouldf i get??

What headphones can make a similar job that the K361 without issues of position? I have 100~150 dolars. Greetings from Peru

I prefer 361's bright sound.

I felt that the k361 sounded a little off in the lower mids. K371 sounded more fuller relatively, at least according to the sound samples

I liked K361 output

Do the K361/K371 require any EQ? I assume since they're relatively flat that you aren't applying any correction?

the bass wasnt the first thing i noticed but rather the highs being much hollower on the 371. at one point the demo was playing and i wasn't paying attention and the moment it switched to the 371 it was like i got a pang of dissatisfaction automatically

Holy shit when did you go from 55k subs to 120k sub.

Yeah i can agree..i dont like the over emphasis on the deep lows on the 371 and the 361 seems to sound cleaner without that, almost like its bleeding over. thank for the compare. :- )

Honestly I love how both sound. I'd use the k361 for my work and the k371 for work and personal usage. I'm just gonna get both, akg really outdid themselves here

I prefer the K-371, heard it myself and found it astoundingly good sounding. I didn't notice the "placement" difficulties. Also, I don't mind the sub bass emphasis, most recordings that I listen to don't have too much energy there...

Great review,complete!On Omni Surround 5.1, the 361s are in favor.The sound is cleaner and clearer, but the bottoms are not enough. In the 371st, they removed the coating that everyone liked,it is unclear why((.Excellent performance in the game, positioning at the professional level.But we must keep in mind that all the sound that they are able to give out will only go through an external sound card.

Yeah. The 361s sound cleaner. The bass on the 371 seems to bleed upward, muddying the sound. I'll keep my 702s. :-)

Agree..361 are closer to original

I got the Beyerdynamic dt240 pro, they are nice and compact but are really dark sounding. I might try these.

Audiototal akg k361, mk50x or h560s?

I bought the k361 at your advice but sadly I can't get past the relatively huge bump in the mids. After a few minutes I get used to it but when constantly switching from my Adam A7x it's very disturbing. Makes them sound cheap, plasticy. The lows and the treble are pretty spot on, and the build quality is pretty nice and ergonomic but sound-wise I am a little dissappointed. They sound more like the k371 in your video.

what kind of music is playing in the test?

bass seems similar, i thought k371 was bassier, and vocals i prefer from 361, is brighter, but i think it depends of which sound signature are you used to

Wonderful review thanks. Greetings from James J in Limerick city Ireland

Listening to it on my Onkyo A-800+amp+iPad, I like the sound of the k361 better, I find it more faithful to the recording.

From all appearances that's literally the exact same headphone, the difference in sound signature coming from the different pad thickness (thicker = more space = more bass) and clamping force (higher = more U-shaped).

What is the music that's playing?

The issue with fit seems to correlate with how the headphones are designed with a typical Chinese head sizings versus typical American. It appears you are wearing the headphones in their lowest position to reach your ears which I have had issues with very inexpensive headphones which appear again to be wide in accommodating a larger size head size but not having sufficient adjustment for vertical down to the ears and I wear a size 7 1/8 hat which is about average for adult male

HD58x vs K361 .. what are your thoughts on those two compared to each other?
