It's to avoid clipping our patience, it has average dynamic range 😁 (mine is 32bit float though 😂 )

Z Reviews in a nutshell

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!

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!

If I can find one at a reasonable price, I’ll give it a go. Thanks for the suggestion

I'm still listening to it. I need another week before I can feel comfortable talking about its sound.

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!

Yeah there’s no difference when plugged in

I think the Anker Q30 is more comfortable

@@NoThemeReviews ok i'll look into that one thank you!

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.

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.

I don’t have the m40x and can’t compare

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.

They have been durable for me.

I don't have the wired version to compare to. However, there is a noticeable difference between BT and wired connection.

@@NoThemeReviews okay thanks

No you’re not the only one. I’m sure there are plenty who would enjoy this headphone

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.

I plan to when they finally become public.

Idk

@@EnormeEkoH If you don't know, then why you are replying like that ahhahahaha

@@melihherenn cause i wanna know too, so when anyone will answer you i will see.

@@EnormeEkoH okay dude I'm sorry

@@melihherenn no problem :)

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

I have no idea.

Please checkout and tell i m highly confused between akg k361bt and sony wh-ch710N

@@shreeyanshkumar2714 Why are you confused.

Audiophiles complain in mysterious ways.

Depends on what you want. The 361 has a slightly warmer sound. The Q30 is more comfortable and has a useful app.

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.

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.

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.
