The AKG K361 offers a very good sound quality and comfort at a lower midrange price, being suitable for music and TV with a wired connection and a closed-back design for some noise isolation. They are not ideal for calls or gaming due to poorer microphone quality and lack of features like active noise cancelling or wireless connectivity. On the other hand, the Master & Dynamic MW75-Neuro is higher priced but comes with a wealth of features including active noise cancelling, wireless with low latency aptX Adaptive codec support, and a very good microphone making it excellent for calls, gaming, and TV. It also has an integrated Neurable AI technology for focus tracking, making it a high-tech choice for those who value cutting-edge features and can afford the premium. If budget is a concern, choose the AKG K361 for good quality audio in basic scenarios; if you're looking for advanced features and the best experience in a variety of settings, the MW75-Neuro might be the better choice despite its higher cost.

Alex Rowe | November 2019
"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."
