AKGPro Audio Studio Headphones K361, Wired

I love the seal on them. It helps me to eliminate outside noise and focus on the audio.The headphones are very comfortable and the sound profile is great!

Fiz a compra depois de pesquisar muito por fones com um áudio "flat" que seguisse a linha da curva Harman. Geralmente os fones têm excesso de graves, o que eu não gosto (muita gente gosta, o que não é errado, mas é uma forma de fazer sistemas com baixa qualidade parecerem melhores do que são... A maioria esmagadora dos fones mais em conta tem essa característica). Esses aqui são excelentes. Estava entre esse e o modelo acima, o K371, mas achei o K371 com mais graves do que eu queria em comparações de áudio gravado por aperelhos de medição entre os dois modelos no YouTube.Fora a qualidade de áudio, esse fone também é muito confortável. Ele não pressiona as orelhas (faz contato com a região ao redor) e dá um suporte bom. Não tem cancelamento de ruídos (eu já tenho um IEM com cancelamento pra usar na rua), mas a vedação física é eficiente. Ele também tem um bom "soundstage", mesmo sendo compacto quando comparado a outros modelos.Estou usando pra tudo: música, jogos, audiolivros etc. Uma das melhores compras de equipamento de áudio que já fiz. Depois vou comprar um amplificador para usar no meu PC desktop. O volume fica ótimo em todos os outros dispositivos, mas no PC fica abaixo do que eu gostaria (mas, como só acontece no Pc, não é um problema dos fones). No celular estou usando com um adaptador usb-c.

Judging by the majority of audiophile reviews of these on YouTube, these are well tuned, reasonably "detailed" with very average for the price "technicalities", mediocre build pair of headphones.I disagree. First, materials are awesome - great plastics, great headband, very hygienic, 7/10 comfortable.Pads are almost great - they lack like maybe a couple of millimeters of depth for my ears, though they're sewed smartly, and plush, and easy to clean.The adjustment and folding mechanism looks junky on videos, while in the real life it's sturdy, clicks are very precise, controllable, the joint seems sturdy.And these are very, very compact when folded - I carry them in my fanny pack, this is ridiculously convenient for a full size headphones.Cables suck, all three of them, they're like kings of microphonic effect, you need a replacement. Btw, choose Hart Audio cables, they're awesome.If it's hot, you need an AC in the room, since in 2-3 hours K371 will become hot and sweaty. Plus, since they slightly touch my pinna, I can wear them like 4 hours tops.And no amp is needed, you can drive them out your finger probably.Sound isolation is mediocre - I found it worse compared to Elegia and DT770.Ok, now sound.Out of the box AKG K371 sucks. Like a lot. It's like really bad. It's dry. It's low bass. It's shouty. It doesn't make any sense at all.But give them time. I don't know if that's pads burn-in, your brain's burn-in or driver burn-in and it doesn't matter actually. The fact it - that you need to run them on your head for quite a while to get to the point when they start to sound good.And OMG they change. I do have DCA AEON Open Flow RT, DT770 250Om and Focal Elegia, plus I have experience with many other cans and iems in very different pricing brackets.AKG K371 shocked me. I couldn't believe my ears.They're very balanced overall, mids are tight, natural, vocals are distinct, natural and well placed - not too far, not too "intimate".Brass instruments and electric guitars got some very pleasant bite.Bass is just how I like it - it's neutral. And yes, there is a very, very notable rise in sub-bass, but that's really much closer to how speakers sound in real life.Highs do not attract much of my attention, they're balanced. You can hear hits on hi-hats, you can hear a pretty ok decay on cymbals, there is nothing bothering me at any volume level (I'm looking at you, almost every other headphone I've heard).They're reasonably wide, way outside your head and there is a perceived soundstage depth, not to Elegia's level, but K371 is not flat at all in this department. Just place them kind of slightly forward on your ear and you're fine.Regarding the detail - I don't know, really. I don't feel that my planars or Elegia, both EQed to Harman and non EQed, are like more or less "detailed". I'd say I stopped listening my DCA AFO RT, that's for sure and I LOVED that headphone. Now AKG spoiled them for me and just can't.Elegia is still a thing of it's own and makes a lot of sense compared to AKG still. Elegia is the punchiest headphone I heard ever, it's textured and "physical" and no one else is close (I never auditioned 900MK2 or first gen HE-6). K371 is not flat, they're also reasonably textured, and that bite on brass is not available on Elegia, not to speak of light weight and portability of AKG. And the price.AKG K371 is better that Beyerdynamic DT770 250OM in almost every aspect. DT770 still got a ton of spare parts, a bigger comfy earcup and the stock cable is significantly better.I apply Oratory 1990 EQ to K371, but only up from 1KHz, changes are minor, but improvement is noticeable.With no EQ they actually do not sound "close" and with Oratory's EQ up from 1KHz they disappear slightly more. I know, right? No one was telling me that in any review.To sum it up. AKG K371 broke my 15+ years of audiophile experience. I'm puzzled, pleasantly surprised and don't know what to think.It looks as neutral FR is almost everything, with some place for speculation in punchiness and soundstage topics.I don't know. Like, buy these, try them out, give them time, be open minded, don't listen to overs, don't look at the price, be ready to change your opinion and accept that your previous experiences, opinions and spending stopped making any sense.I had a dream, that a perfect sound will become available to anyone sometime far in the future, but apparently that future is now.

Son Uno enormes audífonos de referencia Profesional !!, para escuchar cada detalle sin mayor pretensión, me parecen buenísimos también, pero para quienes trabajamos en mezcla profesional, me parecen una excelente opción a un precio muy accesible !! Súper cómodos y los materiales de gran calidad !! La bolsita que incluye me pareció que podría ser de mejor calidad pero, solo eso !!

Attention, ce casque est en 32 Ohms !Comparé au beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO, pas de variation entre les versions, et donc de type d'écouteur. Il n'y a qu'un AKG K371, donc un seul type d'écouteur. Et il est super.Je le branche directement à un laptop, une tablette ou un smartphone. Je conseille d'enlever toute amplification et égalisation. Ça ne sert à rien et ça dénaturera plus qu'autre chose ! J'ai eu des basses de fou à 100% de volume avec du Aphex Twins avec mon smartphone (j'utilise VLC). J'étais très impressionné. Je reste personnellement raisonnable sur le volume.Je l'utilise aussi avec mon PC de bureau. Ce qui me permet de ne pas passer par un hasardeux ampli, comme avec DT 770 Pro 80 Ohms. Je le branche directement sur la carte mère. Pas besoin de mettre du gain en plus avec VLC (peut etre avec les tout premiers CD). Vous etes en 32 Ohms !Évitez d'utiliser le AKG K371 avec un gros ampli. Il n'est pas conçu pour ça.J'avais peur qu'il y ait trop ou pas assez de basse, de médiums ou d'aigus. Le son est très équilibré avec un très bon rendu des détails.Le AKG K371 n'est pas un casque d'extérieur. C'est définitivement un casque de salon. Vous seriez embeté avec la fiche de branchement. Il y a une fuite sonore pour les autres à un certain volume. Vous etes moyennement isolés bien que le casque soit fermé. Il ne serre pas fort et il est très confortable meme avec des lunettes.Les accessoires sont super (3 cables, un adaptateur jack). Le sac gris est très classe.Si vous etes moins soigneux, ou si votre studio est parfois un champ de bataille, la solidité du beyerdynamic DT 770 pro vous conviendra mieux.Les coussins peuvent se changer. Mon choix va se porter vers des Dekoni Audio Choice Suede qui vont préserver la courbe originale qui est extra. D'autres de ce fabricant peuvent ajouter des effets (ex : plus de basses). Mauvaise nouvelle : Amazon ne les propose pas ! Et c'est rageant !J'ai longement hésité. C'est avant tout la courbe de rendu qui m'a convaincu. Pour le prix, et encore une fois si vous etes soigneux, c'est un très bon achat.
