The headphone deals begin! Flat, analytical closed back with excellent detail, especially for the price point.
New all time low… reviews in previous deals. Enjoy!
EDIT: Lightning deal allocation expended, but more stock may come in tomorrow morning as there seems to be a waitlist.
CamelCamelCamel.
They're definitely at a good price, but I wasn't enamoured with them directly compared to the K371. Treble is a bit uneven and it shows up.
For flat with a bit of fun, I prefer the Takstar Pro 82 v2, but the AKG K371 stands above that.
Interesting, I actually thought the K361 sounded better than the K371 - even though the K371's build quality is noticeably better.
More specifically I found that the treble on the K371 could get a bit too peaky for my tastes, where as the K371 seemed to have a more rolled off top end.
I'm personally still hoping for a close-out deal on the Focal Elegia's from Addicted to Audio, similar to the one they ran on the Elear last year. $500 and I'll pull the trigger!
Was pad seal an issue for you? Might explain why the K371 seemed brighter.
@jasswolf: I got a pretty good seal on both of them. I should note that the K371 didn't ever get sibilant - but the K361 seemed to have a more relaxed sound signature, which I tend to prefer as I'm quite treble sensitive.
Design on the headset is pretty poor imo. The sliding adjust or is loose on mine already. Sounds good though. Agree with the treble borderline peaky (not sibilant)

One of the best entry level closed back headphones, at possibly the lowest ever price! These can hold their own against any closed backs under $500 and quite a few over $500 too.
