not as good as Takstar Pro82

@@mistersteve6705 They turned out to be shit soundwise, so you are correct

@@black7446 I respect your opinion, but I'm not sure I can personally trust a man that mentions Superlux pads in regards to comfort. No offense.

@@bravado2809 I've moved on since, both Superlux and k361 have gone to people who can appreciate their overall crappiness

Currently i'm looking for a takstar pro 82 upgrade, because after 4 years of use the bass is making an "brr" noise on my left pad. Do you know any good alternative? Was looking for these AKG361 but turns out that a lot of people thinks that the sound is worse. Would be a nice help, looking for around 100$ budget headphones.

You new here?

@@nitromenoob nah.... Why?

@@kaekayyy2554 he says that alot. He's been saying that since 2016 or so.

@@notagunfreak8146 oh shit

The News has no place on a headphone review. Besides the meme's write themselves.

Yes ive had mine for over 5 years now and they are still my favourite set that I use for pretty much everything 👍

Wow 17 likes but no reply smh ppl say the 361 is better but idk for sure

Depends on your use-case: AKG361 if you want good general purpose all-rounder cans. Think Pro82 with better detail. HD280 if you want great monitors that can be used for mixing (once you understand their quirks). Do not buy these if you're a bass head! M40x if you want your ears to hurt

@@danboud8135 okay what if my main priority is comfort and build quality. I am not an audiophile so I don't really understand a lot of music, but want to invest in some good quality headphones. I was thinking of going for the DT 770 but they are a bit above my budget.

@@hyzy96 The DT770s are rock-solid. Full disclosure, I’ve only listened to the 80 Ohm version but a colleague of mine, whose opinion I hold in high standing, says the difference is so very, very slight the casual listener won’t spot it. They sound great. Full, voluminous bass without being boomy and detailed highs that sparkle (some do say, a little too much but I do like a little “snap”). Plus the soundstage is damn impressive. The build is great as they feel very rugged, have great comfort, but my only gripe is that the cable is non-removable… and that DT770 cable goes on for days. Not really a mobile option. But if you’re sitting and listening, it’s worth finding the extra scratch and buying these. They’re excellent. I know Z didn’t splooge all over them, but they deserve love. Now, if you’re looking for a strong contender that won’t hurt your budget, the Takstar Pro 82s (or their clone, the Cooler Master MH751s) are more than worthy. Not as detailed as the DT770 but have a very relaxed sound, are built great and are comfy as hell. Pro tip, if you go for the Cooler Masters, get the newer 2nd generation version as the first batch did have some build issues but they’ve now been sorted. Hope that helped!

Have you found your answer mate?

SMEGMAZ I love that idea. That’s really what we are all looking for. We want to know what we will like based on other products that we can benchmark. Great idea man. I think Z should do this just solely based on your name lol.

I was gonna say something along those lines. "I like headphone X, and I'm looking at headphones Y and Z, which are similar in price and are both recommended, but I'm not sure exactly how they compare to each other"

How's the build quality been since you got em?

@@CentinalxGaming already in for warranty lol

@@donvittoriosierra Damn... would you still recommend them? Lol I just want some bt headphones with great sound quality that don't look ugly but that seems too much to ask.

hey what are you thoughts on those 3 you mentioned? if you had to pick one which would you choose?

For Comfort alone these. We also talking wired studio headphone vs portable bluetooth (as the Major III wasn't as punchy on the wire)

@@ZReviews Tanks for reply, I previously had Sennheiser Momentum wired and I want to get new portable closed cans. Do k361 have much worse sound quality?

I had both, it's not even funny to compare them. K361 is miles better than Major III.

i got both, I only use Takstars

mh751 are more comfortable, the mic is pretty bad, and they have some qc issues and audio bleed, but otherwise are good

@@4fiHysteria I noticed the mic audio bleed, and the right earpad broke easily from falling on the floor once, so I had to superglue it to headband (but I can't no longer rotate it). Otherwise super comfortable and have very pleasant sound (prefer them to Senn 595). Might get another one with the tiny DAC.

AKG collab with Samsung are total crap. That's not AKG, that's Samsung using their name.

I owned 2 of those. They sound horrible. Both samsung and akg have better stuff than that. Akg's quality obviously being better. they were a headphone company. I say were because Samsung is just using them as a marketing device now. But if u enjoy them then it's okay. I used to enjoy dem too before I got into audio.

I thought the same way with my 50 bucks Shure headphones. They're good, no doubt, but you need more after a while. When time goes by, you will think of buying some planars or just different pairs of headphones, brother

What did you end up buying?

I'm very interested in your opinion between the Monoprice Retro and the AKG K361. I want a great budget closed back with great details, tight bass (not bassy), not harsh trebles, decent soundstage and imaging. Can you help me on this ? It's exactly the two references I'm interested in.

@@trixniisama Start off with the Retro's, they are a nice, well rounded closed back that gets better with age. I love the signature very much and it'll meet what you're looking for. And for the money, they are a steal!

@@dragon2knight Many thanks I'll do that. What's your opinion on the K361 compared to the Retro's ?

@@trixniisama They're different, so it's kinda hard to recommend one over the other, they both have their strengths. As for the scenario you gave me above, the Retro's will be a better choice for you. But considering the low price of each to be honest, go for both in time if you could.

Hey a quick question. if both the k371s and k361s were priced the same, which ones would be a better option?

+1

Havent tried the Akg but for ATH he MSR7 has less metalic highs but less bass than the M40X, MSR7 have better imaging and less congested. I would recommed swapping the M40X pads but switching the msr7 pads would kill the bass, build wise the MSR7 feels more solid but I prefer the M40X for the less creaking and after a while M40X has less clamping and better comfort

AKG's easily lol The Takstars have serious issues with treble peaks.

Try swapping to brainwavz pads, it was a game change for my 361's.

@@jmkincaid7 specifically which brainwavz pads did you switch to, may I ask?

@@TF2ReplayMaker brainwave ATH m50x. Should be able to grab them on amazon

@@jmkincaid7 Appreciate the reply!! Currently deciding between these AKG361s or a DT770 Pro (80 Ohms) for casual use (music, videos, movies)... Any thoughts? Will look into the Brainwavs pads if I decide to go AKG.

@@TF2ReplayMaker I think it's price point and slight differences between the 2. I went with akg because the cord could be disconnected, I didn't need an amp, and the price was a bit cheaper as my first entry point into the audiophile world. I currently don't have the the DT's but I believe they both have similar neutral sound points. I believe either or will work for you but it also depends on what your intent for using them is. Mine is for gaming and listening to a wide range of musical genres from classical to heavy metal and the akgs do fantastic.

U have to buy both for tht tho

The T50RP are really difficult to drive properly. The K3x1s are more versatile and might be better for monitoring

That's not a good sign. I have the 4.4bt andthought they where my least favorite Sennheiser headphones. The 650's are incredible and I have heard others all good. 4.4 sucks.

@@JohnCiaccio the sound is similar but the treble is better on the 361's, my ears are fairly fucked so I wouldn't use what I say as a guide, but it's just what I thought of them, they still sound good in my opinion. He has 650's now which I have yet to listen to but I think he definitely prefers them to the 361's, I think he made a video comparing them actually.

i cant choose between those 2 headphones. :(

K361, personal preference

@@TarekMidani yeah k361 sounds better than m40. I just went with HD58X. Hope it's a better all arounder

@@fivinh0 Kind of an unfair comparison (HD58x jubilee are natural with great bass extension). It is also an open back. the m40x are different sounding and closed back. And yes, the 58x are better all arounder. I know because I have them.

Yes

MMX300 2nd gen

Beyerdynamic DT770 pro is your friend then. I'm a big soundstage lover too.... and I have never heard another closed headphone with the soundstage as big as the 770. They also have a fantastic bass response. My frame of reference for sound stages the Audio-Technica AD900.... so I can tell you the 770's are excellent

@@MrR2185 thanks, will check them out for sure

@@harrylawson6293 thanks!

beyerdynamic custom studio!

For gaming, the Audio-Technica ATH-AD700X is the king for 'budget' headphones. Can also get the AD500X will work too if you need to go down in price. The AD500X have a slightly more diffused sound stage, bit more bass & slightly less treble. But both are amazing for gaming. Sennheiser always made very solid headphones that work well in games. Haven't heard their latest revamp on the 500 series yet, but the 598 should be very good. They're do not have the same amazing sound stage that you'll get with the Audio-Technica, but they're a bit more 'alive' for certain genres of music and movies. The AKG-K701/2 are probably the best gaming headphones you can buy, unless something better came out that I'm not aware of yet. However, the AD700X comes very freaking close to them.

@@kiwiandapple503 thank you so much for giving such a reply. I'll dig into the variants you provided as I settle down with moving. Although, I guess, I didn't clarify that this was a Siberia v2, and I don't really play competitively, so the sound is important as well. I prefer slightly v-shaped or I want to try mid-forwarded ones. Still, the models you recommended look great, thanks!

These are better built and more comfy out of the box, but the cb-1 definitely sound better and ofc are 20$ cheaper

I sold the CB-1 and I am keeping these for at least a little while. So there is that. Comfort all day on these.

Cooler Master MH751/2.

@Kevin Vermaat what do you mean harsh on the bass?

@Kevin Vermaat aah okay. So you mean the Audio Technica are more flat and the AKGs have more bass /overall build in eq?

I'm in the same boat can't pic between the 2

@@theodorezurla496 I decided that I'm gonna go with the ath40x ones. They are a bit better for studio purposes and provide a flatter sound.

The AKG's 100%

look into ve bonus, kz zsx.

@@nonenothing4412 I already have BLON BL-03, which are superior to both mentioned by you, in my personal opinion. I want over ear headphones, but don't know what to pick. And I want the BEST for the price

@@lolikpof you heard all three? I'm still waiting for the blon to compare. so u want over ear... look also audio Technica ad500/700x, even ksc75. but if you need mainly bass - maybe just get some hyperx cloud I/II/core/silver, these are takstar pro80.

@@nonenothing4412 yes, I heard all 3. In short: After upgrading cable and tips Blon is the best, hands down. Best timber, tonality, bass, soundstage is awesome... ZSX is next, thought it can be sibilant from time to time, and I hate that, less bass than Blon, but still good. I bit more detailed than Blon, but Blon is still WAY superior imo. Bonus ie is also great, but.. it's... It's not as good as the other two. It's great for the price, but I use it, for example, to go to the store or public transport, not chilling at home with music. Btw, it's very difficult to get a good fit with BLON, you might have to go through a lot of tips, but once you find it, it's great. Also sound isolation isn't the best, so can't use it in public transport. But still, totally worth it! Thanks for the over ear recs! Bass is important to me, but there shouldn't be too much, and I hate muddy bass. I'll look into the audio technica, but comfort and soundstage is also very important, so... I don't know. The Philips are supposed to be super comfortable and open back, which is very appealing. And it's pretty cheap, don't want to spend more than $75 if possible. Thx, I'll look into it

@@lolikpofagree about bonus. i like it to commute - no peaks, enough detail and bass. shp's are more peaky than zsx, i don't think you will like it. i think you should try ksc75. quarter of shp's price, but sound more or less on same level and more neutral in treble and bass (in shp only midrange is neutral). i prefer ksc for gaming - has very crisp imaging, works with csgo very nice.

They extend fine in my opinion. They don't have the bass boost at the very bottom that the 71s have though. The mids are fine for my preference but I think I prefer them a bit forward because I like vocals.

Yes I agree and also the 371 is wider than the 361 fact

@@crashkdw the 371 is not V shaped lol

@@crashkdwYes the sub bass is boosted slightly but the rest of the bass is neutral and it has plenty of mids plus the treble is not elevated. So how is it V shaped? If anything its pretty flat frequency response wise. Look at some graphs

@@crashkdw We not arguing. We just having a freindly discussion. Its all good mate 👍

this question will never stop being asked will it?

buy these try them and it they aren't as good as Mh752, send them back. Program solved.

I don't even care so much about "better" because maybe they are both the same quality, but they're going to sound *different* and it would be good to understand the difference.

If you like mids don't get the dt770. They are my least favorite headphone I own out of the following -hd6xx -koss porta pros -tinaudio t3 They have superb imaging, soundstage and bass response though so they are certainly fun to put on at times.

M40x is one. There is a Philips in the same bracket that I can't remember that is probably the other one, he defo reviewed them before.

he unlists new videos so that only his paterons can watch

Sundara. Yes, they are $350 but they are very good without an amp, just straight out of your phone. The HE4xx are good for the price $180 but need an amp, a phone just won't power them.
