The AKG K361 is an over-ear, wired headphone known for excellent sound quality, making it a great choice for critical listening at home or the studio. They also have a detachable cable but are not portable and don't offer noise isolation, which may not be optimal for commuting. The Earfun Air Pro 2 is a wireless earbud with decent sound quality and features active noise cancelling, making it better suited for travel and use in noisy environments. They also offer sweatproof certification, which makes them a good choice for exercise. If priority is wireless convenience and active noise cancelling for a more versatile, everyday use including calls, meetings, and various activities, Earfun Air Pro 2 would be a solid choice; if you prioritize sound quality for listening to music in quieter environments, the AKG K361 could be the better choice despite being higher in price.

"The K361 retains much of what makes the K371 such a winner, though it has a leaner sound, and the build changes made to trim the price down are immediately apparent. Still, it’s another excellent offering from AKG, and other companies in this fight should either be very worried or quickly designing updates to their old models."

"There’s a lot to like about EarFun Air Pro 2. The best thing about them is the active noise cancellation, which works almost as well as the best true wireless earbuds out there. The audio quality is funky but enjoyable. Good dynamics and a wider soundstage save its presentation. Everyone, apart from the most diehard audiophiles, should be happy with it."
